Hi Ian, missed this post the first time, I'm still reading here. Been somewhat distracted from my project as amongst other things I've been doing some kart racing and a couple of races in a friends modified BMW . Also bought an older already built Birkin 7 with a RX7 12A Mazda rotary engine...

Hi Jackal Glad to hear you are taking advice. Does your mate know anything about the design of suspension geometry? If the upper inner A arm mounts (on the chassis) are at the same height or higher than the upper outer mounts (on the upright) which is what it looks like in this picture the...

Hi jackal Unless there are still some links missing those rear suspension arms makes no sense to me at all, no triangulation at the bottom, and what restrains the top of the rear upright in the fore and aft plane? Cheers Fred W B

And front wheel fitment check

Thanks guys. Here is one picture of the tail mounting mock up and exhaust fitment. I will have to shorten the pipes a little to let the tail open Cheers Fred W B

Hi Mike, you can look at land rover parts suppliers for original style tail lights Regards Fred W B

Hi Mike Thanks for interest, I'm still here but not made much progress on the project lately, been doing some renovations on the house if I need an excuse. Should be able to get on with the front section of the chassis soon though, rear section is pretty much done. Cheers Fred W B

Welcome, I'm also keen to see this one come together, Regards Fred W B

Hi Henty I've seen it recommended on here to prop the front of the roof above the windscreen as well, to prevent it drooping and the windscreen opening changing shape. Do you have a screen to test fit at this stage? Cheers Fred W B

Hi Henty I designed a flywheel that uses the original Audi Clutch. You can see some discussion at this link, although that is about attaching a rover V8 though so not directly applicable to you. Still food for though though...

Hi Hendy Glad to hear you making progress. I am using an 016, and will have about 10 degrees horizontal deflection. Also in my case the wheel centre line is slightly offset longitudinally from the drive shaft output centre. I have seen some references that say 10 degrees will be fine. I...

Hi Henty Nice to see you here, I'm just down the road in Port Elizabeth and doing a long winded scratch build, but inspired by a Lola T70. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/lola-t70-lounge/19604-canamsa-sa-stratch-build.html Their are no "kit" GT40 space frame cars in PE that I know of to look at...

Wow! that's just fantastic. :stunned::thumbsup: Regards Fred W B

Coming on nicely Russel, and thanks for the credit. Don't know if you saw this post of mine before, which might help with the fine detail. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-exterior-interior-ac-trim/35195-usefull-bodywork-products.html?highlight=bodywork Challenge now is getting the...

Hi Christo Nice to hear from you, where in SA are you located? I would class building a carbon fibre chassis as a very ambitious project Cheers Fred W B

I was lucky enough to attend a presentation by Andy Green on the project at our local university and got to meet and chat with him. He presented some figures that showed the increase in numbers of engineering students once the space program started. As said, even if they don't make it the...

Hi Dave Thanks for the interest, at the moment I am making progress on welding some of the chassis sections together. Having some problems uploading pics though so I have to sort that out before I can show anything. Cheers Fred W B
