My GT40 replica. 13 years of building. Ford Modular 5.4 32v, Ricardo transaxle. Home made billet uprights.

Hello I painted my GT40 in Colorado red, color code D3 Here is some photos for inspiration. I only find one Carnival red in Ford Europe color code D and helpcode XSC913A in my Glasurit paint code database. I couldt find any painted test for that Carnival red color.

Hello I bought it for more than 10 years when I start building my GT40. Now when I look at their webpage it seems like the fuel catch tank is gone. It is for 2 Bosch 044 fuel pumps. Here is the company that I bought from www.igmab.com

Here is my Ford Modular 32v with Ricardo transaxle.

It was real facts that rejected GOX uprights. I have made hardness tests, materials analysis, and measured the wrong bearings position in my uprights. Add everything else that GOX did not do right. You have the world's worst start to a successful GT40 building if you buy something from GOX...

Still no reply from Recardo.. But this shim can not be a spiroloc? just a simple flat shims for me. Have take 2 more picture.

I have Ricardo transaxle for my GT40 and find one shims inside the oil chamber... Look at the picture and try to help me to figure ut out why it was lying there...? it was inside the large screw on picture 2. Thanks Magnus

Thanks Mtrusty looking forward to get the partnumber //Magnus

Hello Thanks We have no demands yet, but it will probably be before I get ready with my building. It is FIA approved catalytic convertors for track days when I intend to go on the track.

I wonder if anyone has experienced how the side to side movement feels when switching with Ricardo tranaxle. I'm trying to get a good feeling of the shifting. When I switch from 1-2 to 3-4, it feels distinctly but when I have side movement from 3-4 to 5-6 and back to neutral 3-4 I have not the...
