    Locating Spider Foot

    Jim, Pat Barry's post of 1 March showing a picture with a rule in it is CORRECT. Hershal , I know, moves the spider and the front and rear clips round to get "the BEST FIT" and this can make every car vary slightly (up to 1/4"). The reason for this is that a very small movement in the spider...

    Incomplete Fuel Pump System

    I have had a long look at the reason that this order was incomplete and have looked at all our paperwork. The order was for an injection pump system but NOT our full 3 pump system. Simply to replace our standard carby system with an equilivent delivery system (similar price). I designed a two...

    Calling MDA Owners

    Re: Calling MDA Owners(poor souls) Mark, Off all the people on this forum I know how difficult this industry is and how the voice of few can make so much of a difference. The forum is very much a "double edged sword" and can be a great communication tool but can also allow people with agendas...

    Planning my build,have a few ?s.

    Paul, The Gulf car has wheel arches fitted and this is the only car on our web pages that has these arches fitted. The blue car does not and in my opinion looks great and very well balanced. We have had 351 engines fitted but they are taller on the valley and this can cause problems with the...

    Roaring Forties #103

    Jim, Excellent work. That stainless steel takes no prisioners. I believe it takes anything up to TWICE as long to clad our cars with the stuff. They look good but all that work and so much sharpening of the drills !!!!! Good luck with the rest of the build. Robert

    F.1. Melbourne.

    I found out last night that there are TWO original GT40's at the Historic Garage at the F1 and therefore our GT40 replica is not needed. Although I was very dissapointed not to get a drive on the circuit this year, I fully understand the reason behind it. I have had a great time withthe F1...

    RF GT40 pricing....WHAT?

    Hershal's comments were very true in that we (read my wife and I) were supporting all the US and UK kits. Our competitors were / are building kits in South Africa and the export grants and cost of labour in particular were making life very hard for us. I was left with the options of raising the...

    RF GT40 pricing....WHAT?

    Well the cat did come out of the bag a little early as I hopped to set the release on 1 Feb. The short and sweet answer is that I have, over the last 8 months, been working with South Africa and in particular a 'young man' called Robbie Senekal in Cape Town. I was told many times about Robbie...

    New Diff Ratios available for OI6

    Well therices are out !! The cost of a complete Ring and Pinion (including pinion shaft) is US$ 1800 a set and this is if I order TEN. They are not cheap but this is at MY price and does not allow for R&D that I have had to do. I will be ordering a couple for myself so another 8 needed...
