Hi all, These last weeks, I worked at the same time on several points...Not the best methology, but it can be efficient when something does not go the right way at the first time! I when ahead on : *Exhaust : The global assembly is achieved whith headers welded; I need now to do the final...

Mic, I plan to use "Superseal" connectors , from Radio Spares, Conrad or equivalent; they are (supposed...) to be water proof and I noticed they are installed in engine bay on some large diffusion cars without appearent issues ...( Attached view) For the electric wires, I went with Auto...

Nice to see that your very interesting Porsche 908 project is on the right direction ... As you mention, you obviously need now to open a build thread on the forum and not doubt that the forum administrators will propose a place for that! To the question of present "Work in process" on mine...

Jac mac, Mic I clearly understood your warning and I will wait to get oil pressure before any motor spinning! Thank you for the wise advice ... Effectively Mic,I already made the starter electrical test, and I wanted to check the starter pinion engagement on the flywheel ring ; but this is...

By the same time I am completing the exhaust lines, I started the electrical installation , with the idea to have the engine cranked up in some future ... I went for a "flexible" electrical design, with 3 junction boxes ( engine, dash, front) in order to have some modification capability if...

Hello Mic, Welcome to this forum and thank you for the jugment on my work and your skilled advices .... Sorry for the time to answer ; I was more in the garage on WE than on the forum ... I had in mind to install some links between the header side pipes and the 4/1 merges ( As seen on...

Prompt and precise feed back to my question ! Thanck you all. I will use first the "grease" solution and investigate the Permatex suggestion ..

Thank you Randy , GTRene fort your comments; The routing of the headers is a quite long process, but not so difficult, and my engine bay is reasonnably wide; this gives some flexibility for the optimum route to choose.... I tried to stick on the cross-flow and swirl effect dispositions , but...

After some time "off" on the forum it is now time for me to wake up and give some update ...! I focused mainly on the engine and exhaust ; The engine is now almost dressed up, but still without cam and ignition . I installed the drive train in the engine bay with quite firm 90 shore...

You are wellcome Randy ; I had the opportunity to check this last weeck-end if the job made on the "visible" things was also applicable on some mecchanical parts I made ... I installed the custom releasefork I made for the G 50 gear box ( Lateral lever) in order to clear the main bottom rail of...

By the same time, I went ahead on the engine-box assembly, I continued working on the chassis , panelling and sub-structures installation. At the present time, I consider that the metal work on the chassis is finished (Exepted the wheel bearings) , and I am now coming to all the remaining...

It looks I took a long time off since my previous post ....Sorry..The fact is that I continued working on the project, but I did not took the time to make pictures and comment the work done.... The main point is that I received the Shortblock I ordered from Fordstrokers: 331 CI , all forged ...

Thanks for the comments Terry, The hubs /bearing donors are AUDI A6 or A4 , European models: *Rear is a 82 mm OD bearing - Hub as shown on the picture , with a 38 splines drive, in order to match with VAG Transporter half-shafts I plan to install . Bearing holders are still to be machined...

Johan, I got the body ( MK1) from GTStuning for £ 2250 last year (This year price to check ); I consider it was a fair price ; some slight adjustments and fine tuning to make, but nothing difficult . I have to say that I ordered the body after the main chassis frame build up ...Which is not...

Hi Andy, Good advice ... The arms will be obviously under sized when I will go to a stiffer bar for testing different suspension set up ! So I will build a spare stronger sway-bar with adapted steel arms and try to make a previous stress modelisation with Solidworks CAD ... Cheers René

Welcome to the GT40 world, David and good luck for your build; a long route , but so many satisfactions... I notice that the body you have is probably the same I got from GTStuning 12 months ago , for my build (A Riviera scratchbuilt, in the forum) . No problem for me so far on the body; but...

Here are some recent pictures of my build with mainly the front suspension and steering system installation : *Anti-sway bar :The torsionnal central part is chromolly 25x2 and the arms are 2027 ally made ; In the present configuration , it is relatively smooth (around 167 lbs/inch - Thanks...

Thanck you D. for your prompt and clear information ; I am glad to see that there is no problem on the strokes and droop limitations because I must admit that I did not spent too much time on this subject during the chassis design ! This shocks/springs kit is a nice stuff ; I plan to use...
