Now sold.

Further to Dons reply above, I have fitted a water level sensor in my header tank, as I was having similar problems with water being pushed out of the overflow. I now only fill the tank till the warning light goes out and it is ok, unless I sit with it stationary for a long time. It can still...

hi @Charles Brown Send me a PM

Unfortunately I have to sell my GT40 because my wife suffers from Osteoarthritis and finds it very difficult to get in or out of the car now. Details as below:- This is a based on a GTD frame, with only 19,095 miles since it was registered in 2000. It has had only three owners since new, and...

That's a lot of machining there.

Well! I did itI must have broken 4 or 5 drill bits though in the process and had to sharpen them every 5 minutes., but I managed the last 2 hubs after a couple of days work (spread over a fortnight, because of waiting for replacement carbide drills). not a job I wish to repeat, but thanks for...

In situ, and easy adjustment :). Light unit is mounted on long screws with locknuts under light, and small grommets fitted over to allow movement but still locate accurately.

Thanks Brian I will give them a go.

The carbide bits I have seen have been marketed as brick drills

This may annoy the “originality is everything” officionados in here, but here is my attempt at something similar. I have got to try final fit and adjust, but preliminary trials show they should work.... and all from off the shelf items, with a bit of fettling

I have tried Cobalt drills with no success. Thanks for the link, but carriage from the US is a killer.

I made up a simple lift up system as on lots of modern cars.

I have now changed my camera mount to between the two exhaust pipes (air flow seems to keep it cool enough) and I have mounted a 4" display on the lowest part of the dash. Camera view is fairly low, but it seems to be OK. (If you can only see a front bumper in it, he is too close :))

How do you make the holes in the hubs, because I cant get anything to touch it? Maybe spark erosion, but I dont really want to remove the hubs.
