    seat belt mount

    I thought the lap belt mounts are designed to bolt on directly to the floor or side sill stock seatbelt mounts? But if your chassis doesn't have them, then I guess your solution is good.

    CAV109MONO Progress

    Good! I'd like to get your ideas on it. Cobra? It is a beast. that BB460 with 500 horses and 525 lbs/ft toque will slip the 315/35/17 tyres in 4th! Scary. It had an automatic firebottle in the engine bay which I removed yesterday and put a 3 qt. Accusump in its place. Haven't plumbed it yet as...

    vintage race tire info.

    When you speak to Roger, ask about hand-cut slicks. They come out cheaper than the "Cobra"-sized vintage tyres and also perform better as the compound is a bit softer. I have a set that can go on a Cobra or GT40.

    CAV109MONO Progress

    Verrrry nice! With those flags, I take it that's the HQ? I'm still waiting for the Webers and suspension mods from Ian, so, slow progress on my end. I installed a SPAL PWM auto controller for the larger 12" fans I retrofitted. Neat contraption, it's programmable for when the fans go on and...

    Oil coolers

    Check out the pix on this other thread: http://www.gt40s.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/72848/an/0/page/0#72848 I'm still trying to figure this out also. The oil cooler I saw on an original undergoing restoration looked like the last pic I posted and for a Continental aircraft...

    CAV #56

    David, what size front tires are you using on the BRMs? I, too, got a set from Bob and installed a set of hand cut GY slicks from Roger Kraus, but in the original Cobra sizes as I intended to use it on my SPF Cobra. I'm hoping they fit my CAV so I can use 1 set of racing tires/wheels for both...

    Door mirrors

    Yuji. when you fit the passenger side mirror, (I guess that's the left side for you over there), cheat a little bit and cock it about 2mm towards the driver. You wil hardly notice the difference; or maybe do it to both. My install works fine but I could have used another 1/4" adjustment to...

    Oil Cooler install

    I think I've finally found the oil cooler I want. I just need to ID it properly and get specs about capacity. Originally made by Harrison and designed for Continental aircraft engines. Looks almost exactly like those used in the original cars (MkIs) They are made or rebuilt by Pacific Oil...

    Audi Getrag electrical terminals

    Upshift light? Mmmm. Makes it even more useless, eh? On the Getrag, and std. ratios, it always sounds like you need to upshift

    Audi Getrag electrical terminals

    Thanks, Neal. Does anybody ever hook these up? They may be useless but I have to admit I have clicked the starter with a car in gear on more than 1 occasion. I guess I ought to yell: "Clear!" before clicking from now on.

    Not poking into your business but being in the creative field myself, I have been victim to even Fortune10 companies stealing my ideas. I have since learned to copyright all my material and having a non-disclosure agreement signed even before I do a presentation. Sometimes, in the heat of...

    Audi Getrag electrical terminals

    May be a stupid question but what are the electric terminals on th Audi Getrag 5 spd 16 for? I did a 2 year search and couldn't find anything. I'm assuming the 2 terminals on the side is for the reverse switch but there's another single terminal in the back that puzzles me. Neutral kill switch...
