    Did a fall foliage run with Jay & the guys from Vintage-Motorsports Sunday. Awesome ride with back country roads & the leaves @ their peak . I was going to take the Cobra but it was about 40 degrees when we left. The GT heat was a welcome option. :cool:

    thanks Jack , I do enjoy all the cars. It was an easy decision to drive the GT on Sunday. When we left Greenwich @ 6:30 AM it was about 45 degrees.Jay was freezing in the Cobra on the way down & I had the heat on in the GT.

    brake valve

    Thanks Cliff , that would be a good test . I did get some more info and it is set from the factory to equal brake all 4 disc & front & rear balanced . Each notch movement in the valve position would change the setting to allow more rear braking .The shocks and coils are also adjustable .I think...

    brake valve

    thanks Randy & that is the valve . I don't know if I have a brake balance bar but the valve it set in the up position just as your picture . It must be pre set from the factory as the Gt came with the brakes all done & bleed? The car stops on a dime so I'm not going to touch it .:thumbsup:

    David I'm glad your OK. Your CAV looked like it held up pretty good considering the crash ? I'll take a stainlees steel Mono over a kit space frame any day ! I have the new BDR GT which is made br CAV for Backdraft. Good luck with your new GT. Rick

    Size makes a difference?

    I have the new BDR GT (CAV / built for Backdraft) it has the lower floor pan & adjustable seats. My friends father drove the car & he is 6'3" with no problem. The foot pedals are also adjustable . My GT does not have the Gurney buble but that is also a factory option. I looked @ SPF before my...

    Mark Reid RCR-40 Build

    Randy , I would have about the same process if the cable failed on my 65 Coupe. I think I'll order a new cable set for a winter project . The pulls are right behind each latch on the BDR GT. There are also access plates so you could release them if they failed . I agree with Randy & I think the...

    Mark Reid RCR-40 Build

    Mark here is a picture of the latch pull on the BDR GT. There is a pull on each side so it does not slave together ? Once the clip is down you push down on the body @ each pin & then it locks down in place.

    Mark Reid RCR-40 Build

    That's why Ron was looking @ the those brackets ??? Sounds good Mark !I hope you can get her done in time so we can take a fall cruise ? You should also add the gas pistons to the rear clip. Besides easy up & down movement , once opened the pistons hold it & when you close the clip they hold...

    While cleaning my BDR GT over the weekend I noticed a red handle ball valve with notched settings under the dash . When I checked the manual this is a brake proportion valve. I have about 100 miles on the car & it rides, handles & stops on a dime . I was just curious if all GT's have this...
