Pat, You are 100% correct with your guess as to the reason why we use a flex line. Please remember that the picture above from Hershal does not use our clutch master cylinder. Our master cylinder has the output line coming out at 45 degrees / upwards at the bulkhead the master cylinder is...

Rolf, Again congratulations on your great progress. The car looks GREAT and what great strides you are all doing in just ONE year. I hope the bonding process is as you expected. For those who do not know Rolf he is a surgeon and as you might expect has a very high pressure life. I take my hat...

Re: RF52 Pat, Congratulations on the progress and also the quality of the work. I love to see my "babies" take life. Please let me know if you need any help although I must admit it does not look as if you ANY help. Best wishes, Robert

I have to agree with Chris and Chris above . We have a guy here in Australia who owns a "real" cobra (real is his rego number) and he get really pissed off when people ask him "which kit is it mate". I fully understand that he would not be pleased. The same guy has the best Lotus 23 "replica"...

Norman et all, The two cars were actually part of a set of FOUR cars that were purchased from their respective owners via Brian Pepper for two collector friends. The cars were purchased in England 1993 / 1994 and shipped to Australia and two reside here in Victoria and the other two resided in...

The "kunifer" is actually "CuNiFe" which are the chemical symbols for Copper, Nicol and Iron which is what the break pipes are made of. They are much better than the old 100% pure copper as once used but I for one will only use "bundy" pipes on our cars. Bundy is the manufacturers name and the...

The LSD we are having made for thr OIE 6 speed Audi box is a Quaife style (ATB) LSD. I was hoping that the OI6 5 speed LSD could be adapted for the OIE box but we started from scratch. The old additave of the compromise made is ALWAYS a compromise !!!! The first 6 speed LSD was due to be...

Lee and Nessa, Good luck with the build. I still get the goose bumps with my cars even after the majic HUNDRED is not upon us. If there is anything I can help with please contact me. Best wishes, Robert

AJS and Mark, We have just had a ATB style LSD built for the 6 speed Audi OIE box for a car we are building at the moment. I contacted Quaife a number of times and got no response regarding their LSD for the 6 speed. This is not to say that they do not make them only that they did not respond...

James and JP, I am sorry that "sturing the pot" has offended. I am all for the FREE SPEECH thing , that is why I was one of three who started this FORUM. The last thing I want to do is to stop our members and non-members having their say regarding all things GT40. I am most happy when opinions...

James and JP, Well lets try again !!!! I wish you would stop highjacking the "Roaring Forties" threads as you frequently do. As one of the three founder members of this forum the whole reason for the forum is to keep the GT40 family FULLY informed of what is going on with GT40's worldwide. I...

I highly recommend LSD for all my cars. They make the car easier to drive in bad conditions such as rain and snow (we rarely get either here in Australia). The rear of the car is less likely to step out and when it does it is Limited. If your car is very stiff as most race cars are than the...

Hershal, The message was an old one so no problems !!! Glad the Ford in towing so well and hope the ozone layer does not get to large with your own contributions. Best wishes for Carslile and sorry I can not make it but I am sure that you and Jerry will give a great show. Best wishes, Robert

James and JP, I just love the way you guys hijack the "Roaring Forties" threads. I wish people would stick to the topics of the thread. If you think I am just "winging" (which is usually accepted as a "POME" trait) it is not true. As one of the founders of this forum, I must admit that the...

Peter, I believe that there is a ststic noise test also that can be conducted at most good mufler shops. This involve a run to 3300 RPM and a microphone placed at a Meter from the tail pipe and at 45 degrees. The requirement is UNDER 90db. for a normal car and an allowance of an extra 2db...

I agree with Norman and Jim above and request that Ron Earp close down this thread regarding contributions. We have had enough side swipes and all other contributions can be made through private messages. Best wishes, Robert

Firstly let me appologise for taking so long to reply. I was playing hockey last evening (yes we won and I scored !!!!) and I got home at 11 o'clock and it was way after my bed time. With the seat padding removed and the pedal box fully adjusted back , we have had Gordon Levy's engineer &lt...

I have the HIGHEST respect for Chris and all of his dealings with this forum. I can confirm his independance as I have on several occasions asked Chris to do things specifically for Roaring Forties and he has always declined and stated the "independance" reason. I no longer ask for anything but...

A company that makes these type of adjustable sway bars especially for GT40's is a company I know well, MINE. We have just finished (all bar the drop links - no pun ment!) and I will get Sam to drop some photographs on the forum over the next few days. I must admit that this thread seemed a...

Rick, Congratulations to you. This has been a GREAT week for me, first car into the UK (sand to the Arabs, coles to Newcastle as they say) and the sale of our HUNDREDTH car. I am sure there are not to many companies got to those numbers. Sorry about the self praise, but I am tickled pink with...
