I knew that....:o Rick, what's a MkIB compared to the MkI ?

I have to second Cliff's .02 so make that $.04. Having said that, I have inspected the SPF GT up close; and I must say the level of detail and faithfulness to the original is top notch. Additionally, the paint and finish is classic Superformance, near-show quality. I'm not sure about the...

Thanks, Ron. I have to do a new photo shoot when the leaves turn. I got all my badging pieces now, including the little one on the side by the latches; I'm actually thinking of removing the stripes. Oh, public kudos to you, BTW for the site. I would be lost without it, literally. Just the...

Great Job! Cliff, thanks for even taking this on...fine job; good on ya! We CAV owners appreciate it. Even the small network of CAV friends I've made has helped me tremendously with the upgrading, customizing, and ultimate enjoyment of my ride. This database would be an invaluable...

Hello Jean, I agree. Cliff, have you compiled the data yet? ...and can it be made available to registry members? Thanks!

Hi Chuck, Basically from a diagram that Veek sent me, You'd be taking the hot lead from the ignition switch, routing it through a relay to feed power to the accessories that were hooked up to the "switched" terminal on the ignition switch. So, the load that was on the switch is now...

Related Problem Uncovered? I finished a relay mod (thanks to Bob C. and Veek) for my CAV ignition switch to alleviate a load problem that overheats the switch when the A/C, headlights, then the fans, go on during hot summer nights. It basically takes some load off the switch. However, when I...

Somehow, mine did not fit my stock FRP crate 302. I had waited until after I fit Webers, and tried as hard as I could but no cigar. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like the real deal. Pictures aren't too good, though, for a closer look to see about the condition.

Just tried it on Mac OS 10.4.7 Works great!

The CAV A/C is very efficient; unfortunately, the wiring isn't (in early cars, I'm told). Having the A/C on for 1.5 hours in 95 deg (ambient on the road) made my ignition switch untouchable. I was very comfortable during the trip but almost burned my thigh when I shut down and put the keys in...

David, thanks for that! I had gone through 3 rolls of foam tape to seal it out, never figured it out. I thought the fiberglass molding was off on the driver's side (where it leaked). Cheers!rockonsmile

Hi there, Steve! I think Cliffbeer (another CAV driver here) "won" the auction. Europaspares has them out of stock but I got an email that they could order it from the manufacturer. I said go ahead for 2 pair but that was 3 weeks ago...no news to date. Burton shows an identical pic for 919...

Be cautious! I learned the hard way. In trying for heat protection as well as sound insulation, I lined the underside of the rear clip with Cool It thermal and sound barrier. The asphalt-like carrier melted onto my beautiful ceramic coated pipes and all over the engine, taking me 3 days to...

I switched to the 48 IDA Webers from a reliable Holley Street Avenger 650. It was a painful learning curve but with the help of friends, reading the book a couple of times, and viewing the DVD a few times, I think I got it right now. There is a marked difference in low end torque, throttle...

Good on you and thanks for the info, Malcolm. Before I call, do you know if they will sell and ship to the USA?

I think your camber settings are way off. I have set my CAV with 1 degree negative camber in the rear and 1/2 deg. negative in front. Maybe you meant CASTOR? I set 4.5 deg castor in front and 4 deg in the rear.

Thanks all... Veek, I appreciate the offer. Bob Childress saw my post while travelling and has kindly e-mailed me his schematics and fixes for this particular problem. I will report results...

Driving home 70 miles on the GT40 last night, I got home and almost burned my fingers turning off the ignition switch. I had the A/C on throughout the 1.2 hour drive, headlights on, both radiator fans on with the overide switch, and my cell phone on the hands-off device plugged in to the accy...
