    TRICO wiper motor

    Hi Yuji, Perhaps, could be useful to post some pics of your linkage and motor. I recently dismantled the whole wiper system on my GTD (but was a Lucas motor), and completely redid it (means deeply clean/grease/renew/adjust everything), changing gear ratio and now using a wider Datsun 240Z wiper...

    Very nice, you must be very excited to get it in your garage soon ! May I kindly ask you where did you (or the guys at CCD if you got the info) find this apparently like brand new switch fitted to this nice SW 240 fuel pump, ticking like a swiss watch... I'm crying to get such a switch in...

    GT40 Tail Lights

    Yes, and particularly the chrome bezel on the Simca 1000 assy is kind of wedge-shaped, so that the rear face of the lens is vertical (as the body area supporting the rear light is not exactly vertical). With Fiat lenses, as their chrome bezel is a regular shaped chrome ring, the rear face of the...

    A door question

    Maybe true for SPF, but all GTD, Tornadoes, and other RCR have fiberglass only roofs. Driving my GTD, I've never get my WS falling on my knees even with the two large cutouts in the roof !

    A door question

    I have a tight garage, and I can strongly confirm that these f...g doors are a nightmare ! I have to crawl to be able to sneak into the cockpit or get out (and I'm a skinny guy...). I'm now in the process of rebuilding the entire cockpit of my car, dash and wiring loom, and it's really a pain...
