Hi all, Sorry for the slow response on this matter, work & life keep getting in the way! I’ve now had the quote back from the supplier and I can do a set of three panels (one upper & 2 lower panels) for the same price as before £80/set + postage These are water cut (a better process for cutting...

Hi all, following interest on here and conversations with various people on the club stand at the NEC over the weekend, I will investigate doing another batch - probably 10 sets. I'm getting quotes from the laser cutters and out of the country next week, so it will be a few weeks to get things...

Hi Andrew, I've previously supplied around 20 sets of these panels a few years ago, but I've still got the punch tooling and could still supply them if there's enough interest https://www.gt40s.com/threads/gt40-9-hole-grille-set-gulf-le-mans-style.39898/#post405092 Regards, Andy PS I will be...

Well done Nick, it's a real testament to your skills & perseverance See you at the LeMans Classic in it next year Regards, Andy

Hi Andrew, If I recall correctly, this is John Cohen's old Tornado and is carb-fed and the Tornado supplied loom. As Bill said find out what the pump should be drawing and what else is on the same fuse. Try putting a temporary separate feed from the battery to the pump via the rated fuse and...

Hi Nick, The struggles and set-backs will be worth it! Then you'll have a list as long as your arm of all the minor niggles that will need resolving :cool::cool::cool: Regards Andy

Funny how you get a better and more correct answer on this forum, than from the kit manufacturer Need I say more..... Regards, Andy

Hi Bill, thermostat I use is from a BMW E30 (circa 1988) with the M10 4-cylinder engine Regards, Andy

Hi Joacim, I’ve checked my original TS40 build manual and it states that the kit originally used MK2 Ford Granada up-rights & brakes. I doubt that the design of the wishbones has changes to the new uprights, as the alloy up-rights were originally sold as an option I would also be looking to swop...

Bill, Well it MAY be possible to draw air from the header tank, it practice it doesn't happen! I've run this system for over 10,000 miles in ambient temperatures over 35 deg C. with any issues The design of the thermostat housing closes off the bypass route when it opens, so any blending only...

Hi Jason, I’ve got a similar layout to what you propose – see attached (vent line is upper left on rad). The vent line back to the header head does flow in the right direction (I use a clear hard nylon pipe) and I’ve had no issues with my system in temperatures over 35 deg C. I agree in theory...

Hi, I finished the seats on my '40 in a dark grey leather, to give a contrast to the black powder-coated panelling. The door pockets I had flocked to match the colour of the leather and finished them with an anodised & punched retaining plate. Hope this helps with the inspiration Regards, Andy

Hi Paul, I’m presuming that you’ve got a rod operated gearshift on a standard Southern GT chassis if so, I’ve seen this issue before. Basically there’s insufficient fore/aft stiffness in the standard engine & transmission mounting bushes and as you apply the load to the wheels the...

Hi Mark, attached is what I've done on one of my installations using AN-3 fittings Regards, Andy

The correct oil fill level is to the level of the filler plug. Total capacity is around 3 litres. If the input shaft seal has gone, the gearbox has to be split to change the seal, not a five minute job Make sure the breather vent is not blocked, otherwise it will be pressurising at it heats up...

Hi Joacim, I believe that when Tornado stopped paying their annual fees to have their own dedicated sub-forum in the 'manufacturer's corner' all the posts were moved to the relevance area in the 'technical forum' by the forum administrators Regards, Andy

Hi Andrew, welcome to the Club. You need to get in touch with the GT40 Enthusiasts Club, which supports this forum and has regional meets which provide a valuable source of information. Which part of the UK are you in? Regards, Andy

Hi Shaun, Strange coincidence that I've got one on my shopping list for today for the next '40 I've got in build. The thread size in the block is 1/4" NPT and I use an adapter to AN-3 so I can then do remote mounted oil light & gauge sensors regards, Andy

Excellent work guys, I still hope that your're still making full use of the door-mounted cup holders you did a few years ago ;) Regards, Andy

Hi Brett, well done mate, it's been a long time coming, but worth the wait and effort Regards, Andy
