Thanks for the input fellas.... I really wanted to keep the look of the dash retro as I have a very race look old skool dash in the cabin....its only a minor detail lI know but after some lengthy research have gone for a Dakota Digital ECD 100 unit. This allows me to keep my original SMITHS...

Lovely chatting with you yesterday Frank.... your smal Pepsil boss looks nice... I might be tempted. ....... loops ideal for anine lpoking to use a more original motolita.... . If I ask you to produce one for me how much would you be asking for...? Kind regards Marcus

Thanks Bob 78mm is actually what Motolita state themselves for their wheel... so simply Tring to find a nice inset that fits.... Not a huge fan of the Pepsi insert so might have to save my pennies for the Gelscoe black version ... am sure it's beautiful but £150 plus the Gin and Tonic and...

Merci Paul...:p.....I have a similar Gulf livery 40.... Hopefully I will get the grill and number sorted.... Kind regards, Marcus

Looks absolutely what I'm after Frank.....do you manufacture...?

That's the idea Frank....absolutely what I'm looking for to complete the build ready for registration.... do you manufacture them and it so how much would one cost me...? Be kind most of my budget has long gone....:D:D:D Kind regards...Marcus

Looking to mount my number plate letters individually on a front mesh grill set up to ensure cooling unaffected. Interested to know if any fella's out there done similar and whether grills can be bought off the shelf or else I guess happy to fabricate but seems best solution to avoid blocking...

Hi fellas... Any UK guys out there know where I can source a centre boss for a Motolita 14" wheel..... the PCD is 78" any help appreciated. Kind regards Marcus

Hi fellas... Running a new Audi 5 speed box on my 302 and have an issue now with which way to go re Speedo....Would like to keep the Mechanical Smiths unit and see two options so I wonder if others could share experiences to sway me... Option One Go with a converter like a Dakota Digital unit...

Hi Tony....Sorry for delayed response....thanks so much for the follow-up it really is appreciated.....got some thinking to do.....Cheers Marcus

That is a top call Paul.....can you imagine installing S/H and then not being able to gas it...omg...!!! Wants to what units owners may have retro fitted and can recommend...... Thanks for the heads up....

Hmmmm all points well made Jimmy... I wonder if any other owners have experience of going with either system and would be kind enough to post their comments... cheers

Thanks Jimmy for the heads up on this unit.... I think running the compressor off motor has to be better than an electric unit....more woof but up more effort to fit for sure...!!!

Thanks Mike...is thiis a kir you'be used...?.. looks like a robust looking unit......

Hi guys...Rather than having the fastest sauna on the road...would rather be a little more prepared for next Le man or Spa trip... !! Has anyone installed an off the shelf compressor unit driven off the engine rather than an electric one...? I have a KVA that looks quite old school and basic so...

Phenomenon link Ian.....lots of amazing info to digest... If a seven footer can get comfy then at 6'2" I should be a breeze.... Can't wait to start the customizing process.... Will be Hertfordshire based so look forward to catching up with fellow owners in due course.....Marcus

You might be a great guy to know Frank... !!! I'll give things a try with all the good seat advise I've recieved and if I still scalp myself closing the door I'll be in touch...

Sounds like Chris Edwards at 6'3" for my KVA will be my go to guy re set up... good to know he manged to shoe horn himself in....really appreciate all the advice... as a GT40 newbie it's great to receive such welcome advice from such knowledgeable owners.... This GT40's forum rock's IMO...

Awesome informative post Ian...thanks... I am longish body with 33" leg so really hoping the spacers under the front seat fixings cantilever the seat back enough. ... !!! Hopefully the legs will still make it to depress clutch...

Pat awesome of you to provide the detail....... I will go the route as you suggest for sure first.... Having taken the plunge to finally afford my dream car is one thing....getting comfortable in her will just have to be sorted somehow...!!! ....she won't just be a piece of garage art either...
