    Fuel cap bolt pattern

    I'm not sure whether it's original, but the ERA's filler is 9 holes on a 150mm circle.

    Looking for pictures of a full rollcage

    We built a cage for a car that was used in an over-the-road race (can't remember the name). The triangular door brace pivoted at the front (top and bottom of the front roll hoop) and was pinned at the back to allow access to the cockpit. It may have met the safety requirements, but I wouldn't do...

    Harsh Winter in USA

    Texas's conversion to renewables was strictly a commercial decision. The lack of backup and safety mechanisms was too. This was not unexpected. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/02/17/texas-energy-wind-power-outage-natural-gas-renewable-green-new-deal/6780546002/

    the design of the front and rear upright for a GT40 MK1

    If you are going super-economy, look at the cheap Mustang II dropped-design front upright. Lots of brake options for them too.

    LED Charge Warning Light

    I use a 27 ohm, 7 watt for the shunt. Because the current goes to zero once the car is charging, you don't have to worry about the wattage too much.

    LED Charge Warning Light

    The resistor must be added in (electrical) parallel to the LED light, not in series. That way it adds to the current load.

    Electric water pump and digital controller question

    If someone seriously wants a working heater, we've used a Mercedes diesel heater booster pump, tapping off the front water tubes.

    Heart Rate fun

    My (rather painful) record was at the end of a long whitewater slalom course at the World Masters in 1998. I was 52 years old. Approximately 200 bpm. I wasn't sure I was going to survice, but at least I won...

    Early planning options on transaxle

    Then you'd probably be better off with a 302/331 (~350 bhp) with Webers for show.

    Chassis plans

    I suggest you do some measuring before you buy a 429 series engine. It's quite a bit longer than the FE, even the SOHC version.

    Oil Pressure Reading On Cranking Over

    Coolers are non-directional but oil filters have a check valve to prevent reverse flow. Plumb them backward and you get no oil pressure or flow. In a filter, oil always flows from the outside into the center.

    Oil Pressure Reading On Cranking Over

    If you are using a remote filter, make sure that the connections are flowing oil in the correct direction.

    Mk2 nostril hinges

    Move the pivot point back, onto the main body. That will increase the clearance while the hood is opened.

    Brake calipers for 15" rims

    We have also found that when using original GT40 cast wheels, 11.75" is the maximum rotor diameter in the front.

    exact dimensions 351/427 crate engine

    I've got a very crude DWG 3D model of a 302 that includes the engine mount bosses (and some other stuff). Some of the surfaces are missing, but that shouldn't effect what you need. E-mail me at [email protected].

    Heavy steering

    This is probably due to gyroscopic reaction. Not much you can do to change it except reduce the rotational inertia with lighter wheels and tires.

    Check your ZF

    A copy of the ERA system. It even uses the same BMW slave. However, we put the bleeder at the top.
