On the 22 -23 July Mclaren will be one of the featured marques at the Shelsley Walsh Classic Nostaglia meeting. Anyone going? Tomorrow I set off from SA to the UK on a trip that will include this event, really looking forward to it...

Simple question but I am doubting myself. Where to position the coolant temperature sensor to operate the radiator cooling fans in our mid engined cars with the radiator at the front of the car? I plan to put the temperature gauge sensor for the dashboard gauge in the swirl pot where the water...

Hubba Hubba Jim, car looks fantastic. The stripes are exactly what I want to do on my project, can you tell me what width they are?

Hi Christo. Nice to see another SA guy on here. Let me know your email and I can send you the original KCC build manual, such as it is. The transaxle is most likely from a 5 cylinder Audi 9000

What going on with those fuel hard lines over the right rear fender liner and the regulator (?) right on the rear corner? in any sort of rear end accident those are very exposed to damage.

I made a stand on castors (with brakes) for the rear clip of my project as below. I made the lower part with a curve to fit the shape of the clip and padded it with sponge rubber. You unscrew the wood block in the center of the support to release the tail. It works well. Position the stand...

I understand that is good practice to position the oil cooler with the connections upwards so that oil cannot drain from it back to the sump when the engine stops.

Those are some very sketchy looking rear wishbones. What controls the rear wheel toe in / out?

Hi all It’s been a long time since I posted, but I have been making good (if slow) progress on my project. I have yet to find a convenient way to download photos from my phone, configure and upload them suitable for posting and as I’m trying to spend every bit of free time I have in the garage...

Welcome Pablo above is right, see my build thread here https://www.gt40s.com/threads/canamsa-sa-stratch-build.19604/ and before anyone asks, I'm almost finished with the build now. Dry build is just about done, before it strip it all to paint the chassis and then do the real build up. All...

Do you not have space for an oil thermostat rather than trying to control a fan? oil thermostats

Going back a page, I notice your shift lever assembly. Could you post some more picture / details of the mechanism?

Some of the motorsport parts suppliers have some information on items such as this in their catalogues Example here https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/dry-sump-tank-easy-clean-6-1-2-inch-diameter-l-dst-65

Too late now, but could you not have tapped the holes in to the hub, rather than a through hole and a nut on the back? You could get 2 C shaped pieces of 8 mm ally laser cut and tap those though.

As close as you can to the water pump inlet is the best. The intent is to provide a positive head of water at the pump inlet

JP, that's a hell of a daily driver.

Hi Joel If you have not found it already, you can see lots of discussion about building etc here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/

Good day All. Amongst other thing I am trying to finalize on my project at the moment is the gearshift operation As I have never seen the Audi 016 transaxle gear linkage in a donor car, I am unsure what the shift pattern at the transaxle is. I have tried to research it, but am still not...

To aid in seeing the weld puddle I find a magnifying lens in the helmet helps a lot, they are available from welding supply stores. Also a portable lamp you can position so it shines on the work will make it easier to see the weld pool. Adjust the welding helmet darkness level to that...
