Well Paolo, Your English is way better than my (or Google Translate's) Italian, so you are going to have to help me out here :)

Hi Folks, I'm wondering what you may be using to do your final attachment of the lower edge of the rocker panel to the corresponding flange on the chassis. As RCR-40 owners probably know, the arrangement is the bottom edge of the rocker is above the flange on the chassis, and access seems to...

Summit & Jegs has them if you can't find them locally: Fel-Pro Performance Head Gaskets: FPP-1021 - summitracing.com Fel-Pro Wire Ring Head Gaskets - JEGS Regards, Al

Ron, I'm glad that it looks like the RF castings are a no-go. I'd hate the thought of buying the same wheels twice :-) Fran, That's why I bought the RCR (that and the English accent :)): Candid: 1. Free from prejudice; impartial 2. Characterized by openness and sincerity of...

Hi Fran, The manufacturer's comments left me wondering: Will the 17" BRMs have the same width and offset as the 17" Halibrands? Will the 17" BRMs have both Ford & Chevy PCDs? (Not too important since I assume our RCRs use the same pattern front and back) I appreciate the candid...

I'm in. Just ordered it from Amazon - $13.57

Hi Jason, One thing I would do first is verify how much piston to valve clearance you have with the current cam. This will effectively limit how much you can increase your CR through head milling without causing other more significant problems. Al

Thanks, Al

Hi John, Re: Deja Vu - Yes you're right, they are being made in South Africa, but in this case I know that I can drive over to Fran's and pick up a set of 17" Halibrands or 15" BRMs at anytime if I get tired of waiting. Regards, Al

Since another month has passed, hopefully Bob can provide us with another status update. Al

Hi Bill, RCR is supplying the axles and CV joints for my Audi 01E as part of the "deluxe plus kit", so you may to check with Fran. Thanks, Al Dang, that Fran is fast! don't get distracted while posting :-)

Hi Chris, Fran Congrats on the purchase! Can you share any details on the bladders (like capacity, cost ect.)? They were not available from RCR at the time my car was built (#24). Any opinions on the chance for a retrofit given the appropriate amount of cutting? Thanks, Al

Being Swiss, I can't help but pointing out: ---- bemani motorenbau AG ----. I happened to spy one very similar to the color Paolo mentioned (more pics in the "general photos" gallery). Al

Note that the SAE publication "The Ford GT New Vehicle Engineering and Technical History of the GT-40" contains the 7 GT-40 papers in addition to very in depth technical information on the Ford GT in a single, color cover soft-bound 242 page book. About 70 bucks for members, $90 for the...

Make-up for one of these guys? :-)

After hearing Paolo describe the cool 917 models he has in his shop, I was motivated to get one. I'm glad I saw the invoice in my email (which was in Yen) before my wife did (she knows what a 917 is, having seen one at RCR), because I'm sure she would have thought, "Where in the world are we...

Señor Ben, I believe a Mexican block is a 302 and has "hecho en Mexico" cast into the lifter valley Regards, Al

Hi Andys, Chuck, Thanks for the 01E slave cyl info, it's greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Al

Hi Folks, Along the somewhat the same lines, does anyone know the P/N for an 01E slave cylinder (Audi or aftermarket)? The local Audi dealer has been less than helpful (claims they can't look it up without the source vehicle). Any chance it is the same as the 016 slave? (at least I know...
