I've asked my wife to bring the digital camera home tonight, so hopefully I'll get some photos uploaded. If I decide to make new A arms, I may just weld the rod end in place for the time being. I'll just have to get the new arms made before I can adjust the front end again. I had planned on...

First Scottsman since Jimmy Clark wins the Indy 500. Congrats, JimmyMac! Regards, Lynn

It's always a shock to hear of someone departing too soon. Nothing can ease the loss, but take some solace in knowing that Jay touched so many people from all over the world in his short time on the earth. My prayers will include you, his family and close friends, Lynn

Thanks all for the great suggestions. A lathe would certainly help insure a square cut Jac Mac (probably the most critical part of the mod after the acutal welding.) Randy, there are rosette welds now that will have to be drilled out. I left them out of the drawing for simplicty...

Randy, The fitting that is ordinarily used as a vent on the fuel cell is plumbed back to the selector valve for return to the proper tank. So as the swirl pot fills, it spills back to the main tank. (I had thought about color coding the lines in the drawing because of possible confusion...

Scott C, Check out the prices for the weld in threaded tube ends here: Coleman Racing Lynn

Pat & Scott M - Can't move the bottom out to match the top. Notice the last sentence in the problem description: "The bottom A-Arm has a fixed position ball joint, so I really can't easily manipulate the position of the bottom attach point of the upright." Scott C. - If new A-Arms are built...

Scott, No, ball joints have no wear; mileage on car is less than 500mi. Yes, both sides have the same issue and the track width is per GT40 spec. It is as if the leading tube of the A-Arm was cut to proper length, but the width of the shoulder on the threaded tube end was not subtracted so...

PROBLEM - When the front end was aligned, we were able to get it into spec, BUT the 3/4 rod end is threaded completely into the A-Arm excepting one thread. While I know the rod end cannot turn itself out, the slight amount of tolerance in the thread engagement will become larger over time...

For those who don't race their GT40s and don't mind saving a buck or two, I thought I would share an economical system I have put together. The issue I was trying to deal with was my high pressure EFI fuel pump sucking air under heavy braking or sustained down hill stretches when the fuel tank...

Not sure if this is a battle worth fighting, but since magnesium, for all intents and purposes, is the the least noble-anoidic material there is: which precludes the use of a sacraficial anode, I wonder if one of those forced current corrosion preventers would work in this case? Bye the...

Hey all, Thanks, to everyone, for the kind words and good wishes. They are very much appreciated! They did a cardiac catheterization via the femoral artery (talk about a case of the blue balls :rolleyes: ) and placed stints in the two arteries shown. So I'll be on plavix for at least...

Wasn't feeling up to snuff on 5/8, so they reflowed some pipes for me in the main pump early on the morning of 5/9: (#1 before, #1 after, #2 before, #2 after). Feeling much better now. Lynn

Steve, A couple of things: 1) This is the eBay forum and the transaxle you say you have is NOT on eBay. If I am wrong, please prove me wrong by posting the URL of the auction. 2) To advertise cars and/or parts on the forum, one must be a contributing member; you are not (and I...

Mercedes-McLaren finish 1 - 2 in Malaysia! Lewis Hamilton - 2 F1 starts, 2 F1 podiums! That is amazing! Will he eclipse MS?

He is risen, indeed! Happy Easter to all, Lynn

Sandy, I don't think that happens that frequently since not many stock blocks don't get taken to the >600 hp level. But it does happen as is witnessed by the fact that the guys in Scott's post are making girdles to add strength. Also, those that have seen it happen say that is happens...

Ross, The issue Drew was referring to, re: cracking, is not necessarily an issue that 4 bolt vs 2 bolt main caps is going to resolve. It is an issue with the meatiness of the webbing that holds the whole block together. Below is a picture of the result of too much power and not enough...

Jim, I have and am quite happy with QA1 shocks that are 1-way adjustable (I don't think the 2-way were available when I bought mine.) When it comes time to replace them, I would happily try the 2-ways. Adjustment couldn't be easier with the selector knob towards the bottom of each shock...
