VaporWorx just posted this tear down video of the ZL1 fuel module. A great look at it’s internal design.

The bolts to secure the graziano adapter to the front mounts is 5/8”x2 1/2”x18. Grade8.

Like others before me I decided to address the extra work required to remove the front struts at the upper mount location. My solution was to fabricate a 1/2” thick nut plate with studs. It gets held in place with 1/4” pan head bolts from the outside. I can see the need to replace the bearings...

Bumping this post so that others will see the various techniques to beef up this area if you plan to track your car. Unfortunately this part can’t be mass produced. Each car will have subtle differences in length. It must be built in place and then tack welded before final welding.

Here is my version of the bell crank support. I wanted to continue the look of the steel tubing in the engine bay.

I’m about to replace all the brake lines due to converting to the BMW M3 ABS system. Each caliper has it’s own individual brake line. Should I also upgrade the clutch line to 1/4”? I’m using a Ricardo transaxle. I read the recent posts about the preferred line for the GT40 clutch line is 1/4”...

Murray….is this your car? This was the all electric Varley SLC from Australia.

Bumping this thread to the top. Great inspiration to see all the finished cars.

The steering rack splined shaft is shaped to retain the universal joint set screw in any position thankfully. It would have been very difficult to drill in position.

To make it easier for myself I made a couple of wood stands for the steering column. The short one supports the steering column just below the studs. The tall one then jams the column up in place so I can then install the washers and nuts. I used a carbide “F” drill to dimple the splines on the...

Here is a picture of the intermediate steering shaft removed from the car. The white plastic steering angle sensor retainer gets installed permanently on the shaft. To help aid in keeping it centred I wrapped aluminum duct tape around the shaft until I had a friction fit. The retainer has male...

I installed the BMW M3 steering position sensor on the XLR steering intermediate shaft. The brackets I made are modular so they can be removed/installed in stages and for adjustability. I can shim them if needed to get a precise fit. I over built them because they are located directly below the...

Still looking for a Superlite GT-R fuel tank. Possibly from someone building an all electric power train.

I seem to recall DSS telling me the length of the shaft is equal to the “flange to flange” measurement at ride height. I agree with your conclusion Joel. For reference here is a picture of a ball sitting in the middle. The body is 1.5” wide. The ball is approx 7/8” wide. If it was a long travel...

Here is what I came up with. The door contacts are Standard DS278T. It threads into a 1/2” fine threaded hole in the thick steel backing plate behind the hinge pillar. I attached a thick steel plate on the door swing arm at the studs. This helps to stabilize the studs where they thread into the...

Please post a picture or two of your momentary door switches for the interior lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated. SLC and GT-R.

I bought a set of lug guide tools from EBay. I originally wanted to purchase them from Reverse Logic but he is always “sold out”. I know he sold off his race ramps line. Here is a picture of them in the package and installed. They are a good quality product and made in the USA.

Here are some pictures showing the use of Nord-Lock washers for securing the rear axle nuts. This size is only applicable if you are using the DSS 33 spline stub shafts on C6 or C7 wheel bearings. One blister pack contains two sets of washers (enough for both sides). The first picture shows the...

DOT compliance is a federal mandate. Your State may not enforce it. It doesn’t mean you are free and clear. The car should be built to both Federal and State laws. You seem to have an issue with me so I will refrain from further comments on your build log. Cheers!
