Nice looking GT40 replica Jim. Not obvious that there's any Fiero in it. The photo you posted is one of the Ford prototypes chassis GT102. Even though Eric Broadley (Lola) was involves at the early stages I believe the prototypes were Ford, not Lola models. The only Lola predecessor was the...

I don't think the belt choice is up to SPF. Since you buy the car as a roller there is no engine. Many SPF's have Roush engines that are supplied with a multi ribbed serpentine belt. Maybe Roush supplied earlier crate engines with v belts. I got my Roush 427SR in 2008 with multi ribbed belt.

It would probably help to post your location for a metal fabricator. Doubt you'll find any original or second hand ones.

Have you tried fordgtforum.com? Our forum is for original GT40's and replicas.

Totally agree Mike. This has already degenerated into harsh political rhetoric. This is a car site where we can get along if politics is not allowed. Where is the moderator?

Randy, we've been down this path before with the Paddock. Please no politics.

Don't know if your new fuel cells are collapsible bladder type, but Carroll Smith used to advise talcum powder to ease installation of fuel cells in formula cars.

Did you mean A/C compressor not included? Your picture has that not an alternator.

No problem with aluminum flywheel on my 427 Windsor/RBT street driven.

I would be surprised if it isn't metric. Most everything on SPF seems to be except heim joints. Why are you asking?

I thought Pilkington made their classic windscreens in Finland now.

Thanks Mike, I obviously missed the build log. See it took a while starting in 2003, but very impressive.

Brian, Have you posted a build log on this site? Your chassis looks very much like Superformance, but I see some differences in the tubing and rivets on the firewall. Is it custom and not a Superformance?

Brian, Great looking Mk II. See you removed the roof vent? Is the flat black on your nose painted?

1938 MG TA. Still had a1938 pence coin in the boot, I suppose for good luck?

Lloyd at RBT doesn't seem to answer e mail. Best to call him between 7:30 and 8:00 am PST. (714) 630-2450

Did most of that drive years ago, but certainly not in a 40! You have a wonderful country Brian and one that paid enough attention to Covid to make such a drive possible.

You might want to check B.C. kit car registrations. I thought there were some posts on here about difficulties. https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/importing-vehicle/importing-car-kits

I think torque is the real issue here. For street use and no dragster starts both the Quaife and RBT should be fine up to 550 lb. ft. I did break 4th gear on my RBT twice with 520 lb. ft. after 10 track days and racing slicks. No problems on the street.

Yes I did this on my SPF. Isn't 100%, but keeps vast majority of water/debris out compared to original seal.
