Set of four perfect condition 17inch wheels with tyres. Totally unmarked (as were spares for my, now sold, CAV GT40). Pictures below - tyre sizes are R17 285/40 and R17 225/45. Supplied new with my CAV build - but removed in favour of BRM's less than 100 miles after delivery.

Hi Steve, Like you I took the easier option (similar age to you!) and bought a factory built CAV rolling chassis and had a Ford 348 with Quaife transaxle fitted. I live just south of Cambridge (1 mile away from Duxford junction on M11) would love to see your car at some point.
Gentlemen, your help would be truly appreciated!
I have a factory built CAV running a crate Ford Motorsport 348 engine with a ZFQ transaxle. The clutch action has always been a problem taking huge pressure on the pedal, mainly I think since the angle of the slave cylinder actuation is...
Michael, yes the sill panel was taken off on my car. The problem that I had was that the bonding of the tank ends was coming unstuck - only marginally but sufficient for fuel to drip down when the tanks were full and the back of the car elevated - as when on a rolling road. I managed to find a...
Unfortunately I have had to have my driver's side tank out a couple of times too for repair. Yes, the front suspension needs to come off and the tank pulled forward. It is (I am told) pretty straight forward but not a "nice" job. The more difficult part is getting back and getting the filler...
Hi Guys,
I wonder if any UK GT40 types have any experience with companies that can repair a (very minor) leak in the tank of my CAV. I have been in contact with the SA company that produces the tank (Buck Rogers Aviation (!)) on behalf of CAV and they discribed a product called PRC which is...
You guys have all been truly amazing in both the content of your help and your willingness to provide it! Thank you all. I now have a slightly more pressing problem relating to one of the tanks not delivering fuel (despite containing much) and the other leaking fuel into the sill! (Replica)...
Hi Guys,
I would really appreciate some experienced help in getting my CAV GT40 running well. It is fitted with a 347 Boss Ford Crate engine running with 48 IDA Webers and MSD ignition and on NGK BCR8ES plugs. The symptoms that I have are that the engine runs smoothly on idle but on (very)...
Thanks Neville - very interesting, I can certainly confirm that on (attempting to ) start the tachometer needle is jumping all over the dial; something that I dont remember seeing previously. I'll try to check out the wiring as you suggest.
Thanks everybody for your input - put problem persists! I have replaced MSD distributor cap and rotor (as recommended) and there is certainly a good spark (now!) and on completion it fired up and ran fine!. Next day, early Sunday, ready for a nice drive - pushed the car from the garage not to...
Thanks Mike I will check this also - stupid question but how does the cap come off the MSD distributor? I have little access and cannot really see; is it just a push down fit or does it have some (concealed) clip or retaining feature?
