    Mark B's Build Thread

    Get one of these and make/modify your own master cylinder caps with screw-in AN-3 fittings and use a length of brake line type hose to connect it all up. Something like below but with a male AN fitting screwed into the cap. You will use this forever and smile every time you do. I bleed and...

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    Frank, thank you for that. I also tried the 40s, I used them on the front to try and overcome the lack of front caliper clamping force but what I got was a really aggressive on/off feel with little progressiveness. I have run Wilwood "B" pads a lot and I really like their progressive grip/heat...

    PSE wheels for sale 17x9 front 17x11 rear as pictured

    I see you have GTD on your intro page. Did these come off of a GTD? GTDs have an unusual bolt (pin) pattern. If they are off a GTD and would fit mine then I would be interested.

    Streetable Eight Stack

    So this kind of question always gets me wondering what is available IF I wanted to do this myself. The first post was based on the investigation I did about 7 years ago when I was interested in using an EFI on my SLC SBC track motor instead of a Holley 4 barrel. I called several of the different...

    Not understanding the delivery process, looking for help.

    Anybody who has built a custom home knows this is how it goes. Small down payment then, progress payments as the build progresses with a final payment to close. If you want a house that is how it is done. The same goes for a custom car. If you want one then that is how it is done. If they will...

    SL-C Driving Experience

    I've had this in the download file for some time. It was a lot of help at the beginning. Read it carefully and compare things like soft bushing material instead of solid rod ends. Long wheelbases like an SLC compared to a short English sport car like an MG. Absolutely optimum setup devoted to...

    Streetable Eight Stack

    The first thing you need to do is measure your intake vacuum at idle. Once you have this number you can talk to the various FI manufacturers. This will be the first question they will ask you. If they don't then you need to ask to talk to a technical person and not a salesperson. ALL the...

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    Ran the car again at COTA on March 3rd. Again with Edge Addicts. The goal for the day was to try and get a full understanding of brake balance, make a decision on the BP28 versus the older Wilwood C pad on the front, and scrub in the new tires during the last secession of the day. Brake...

    How fast or quick are the SLC's?

    I was at TH one time for an open track day and the Nothern California Shelby Club was sharing the weekend with a group of F Atlantic cars running their own race weekend. After a while, I noticed that they did not lift in turn one AT ALL, You could hear them turn in the car at full chat and never...

    GTD40 suspension upgrade

    No not really, but I can live with it now that the car is only used for street driving. In the end, I decided to just build a track-only car and quit redesigning the GTD. As has been said "They are great cars ......once you change all the parts................ Just so as to not leave it...

    GTD40 suspension upgrade

    The knockoff adapter came from PS Engineering with the BRM wheels I bought from them about 20 years ago. The rotors are 12.19 X 1.25 Willwoods on the front and back with their suitable hats. I can try and find the part numbers for the hats I used. If I do I'll post them here. The calipers are an...
