Not sure Darrin, I'll go with it for now. I'm sure there will be a lot of tweaking in the brakes department when the car is finished... Renato

Brake System There's been a lot of discussion about brake boosters. Decided to go with them for now. They barely fitted on front bulkhead. It is getting crowded up front. Couple fender washers to get a stronger mounting point. Still need to make front mounting brackets to prevent too much...

Parking Brake Trying to put together parking brake setup with off the shelf items. Found that Lincoln MKZ parking brake lever and Ford Fusion cables might fit. Did a mod to the lever mounting tab and made a bracket for cable attachment. Nothing permanently mounted yet, want to do a bit more...

Hi Nick, Good luck and keep the pictures coming... Regards, Renato

Bill, There is more here: knock sensor harness - SVTPerformance It's a bit confusing with Ford part numbers... Regards, Renato

Here's drawing...

Hi Bill, Is the harness in the picture the actual part you need? Regards, Renato

Great going Dave! Nice to see progress from a fellow builder, keeps you going :thumbsup:. I like your wheels, where did you get them from? They don't look like usual offset for GT40. Regards, Renato

Yes, my lower ones are Moog K772's and upper ones supplied by kit, not sure what part#. Del-Spheres look nice but they are too big to fit my suspension mounting points. Renato

Hi Will, Dylan, I am using 4130 Cromoly tubing, 1 inch diameter and 90 thou wall thickness. Been pretty much following Lincolns TIG welding procedure (Dylan's link) and using ER70S-2 filler rod. I'm no professional welder but I did a test weld and tried to brake it with a sledge hammer and it...

Hi Dylan, That is a good question. I don't know what the actual kingpin inclination is since I got the upright from the kit supplier, but it measures about 9-10 degrees. After suspension assembly I checked the angle on the ball joint under full droop and bump and is not binding but it is angled...

Hi Darrin, Your intake should look nice under the rear glass! As of now I won't be using the engine cover, but who knows... maybe just paint the intake... Renato

Hi Phil, Thanks for all the great info. Reading all of the answers, I think I'm heading in the right direction. Renato

Hi Jim, Thanks for all the great info. I'm probably overthinking all this but it's easier to make changes or corrections now than later. We all have "I wish I have done that" at the end. I do realize that suspension is a very complicated component of a car and hard to understand completely...

Darrin, Yes,we should have (close to) identical rear setup and depending on tire choice similar ride height. We should be close in weight distribution since we are using the same angine and transaxle, unless you put a blower on... :thumbsup: Front will be a bit different since I'm mounting my...

Thanks Skip, Yes, that crossed my mind. The reason I went with this configuration (after many) is that I can weld both sides of the plate to the tubes. If the plate is on the top it is harder to weld on the inside, probably it would have been strong enough either way. My uprights are part...

Hi Everyone, I know there has been discussions about this topic on the forum before but I would like to make sure I understand the whole thing. The question: what is the proper order to go about setting your static ride height, min (full bump) and max (full droop) suspension travel. Should...

Suspension Been continuing work on front suspension parts. Fabricated lower wishbone. After a lot of head scratching found ball joint that I like and fits the upright, AFCO 20034. Had to cut about a 1/4" of thread because it was hitting the steering arm. Tubing is, like the top, cromoly 1"...

Hi Keith, Looking good! Your progress is great. I find that flipping between different tasks makes it more interesting and keeps the pace going! Regards, Renato

Great going James! Keep at it... :thumbsup: Renato
