Hi Dave, We are on the Houx campsite as last year - row 26, pitches 376/377. Should be there around lunchtime Friday. Hope you'll get a moment to contribute to our beer mountain. :chug: Will give you a call once we're set up. Without tipping off the opposition, what's your weather outlook...

Howard, So that explains what all the noise was last year. I believe that, in terms of attendance numbers, Le Mans is the UK's biggest motorsport event. Just happens to take place in France. Great trip and highly recommended. See you there Dave. Jim

Hi Folks, Just by way of update may I confirm that the GTD40 was sold some months ago to an enthusiast in the London area. No doubt he'll make himself known on the forum. Many thanks to all for their genuine interest and kind comments. Especially thanks to Frank Catt of Wealden Engineering...

Hi Murray, I have a zip file of various GTD wiring diagrams that were kindly supplied to me by Julian West some years ago. They're marked as 1987 onwards and show the 7 pin connector, so possibly won't help you too much with that question, but if you'd like a copy then please PM me your email...

Sorry - duplicate post

Hi Dave, Many thanks - now that really is a kind offer. Both GT40's fit in the garage just fine - although manoeuvring the RML is a little tricky with its steering lock being so poor - but with both in there's simply not enough space to work. I've always kept the GTD as a dry car, and intend...

Hi Dave, That's a very kind offer. The Mallock is currently still at RML having the few last items from the snagging list rectified. Should be back just in time for the snow, so will then have to be tucked up in the [crowded - want to buy a GTD?] garage until Spring. See you soon. Best...

Hope to see you there again Dave. Houx campsite as before. Jim

Hi Ron, Can you increase the 200 limit on 'New Posts'? Such is the popularity of the forum that one only needs to be away from Internet access for more than a few days to have accumulated more than 200 unseen postings. I think the 200 limit also applies to search results - maybe the same...

Johan, The GRRC Race Programme and Events Timetable for the 2007 Revival meeting describes the Whitsun Trophy as being "For sports-racing prototypes of a type that raced between 1963 and 1966" Jim

Hi Mike Drew, I have a Tilton 8.5" twin plate clutch #68-002HGG in my recently refurbished, road use, RML40. This clutch is rated at 750lb-ft, although my engine is only 440lb-ft. The clutch pedal pressure is very reasonable, has excellent progressive feel and is well mannered in traffic. I...

Tom P. The following supply racing mirrors in the UK. If you are unable to obtain in the US and want me to source from here then just let me know. My mirrors are chrome on brass and were supplied by Europa Spares - also available are polished ally or black and with flat or convex glass...

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Much appreciated. Jim

I was fortunate to be tipped off to the availability of a rare RML40, which I purchased, and this has now arrived - with the result that my garage is rather congested with 40's! Hence the immediate availability of my GTD40. Some details:- GTD40 MkI First registered 1998 All paperwork is...

Thanks for the clarification John. Looks like the Wiki author was just using shorthand, given that the pardon was 30 years after the conviction and so, presumably, parole etc had expired. Again folks - apologies for the digression. Now back to your smart answers ... Jim

Hi JohnC, Interesting Wiki. I notice the Presidential pardon for his moonshine conviction "...restored his right to vote and hold a passport..." Does that mean a US citizen currently loses their right ever to hold a passport if convicted of a felony? Please forgive the digression. Jim

Hi Paul, I'm in Bollington so practically your next-door-neighbour! I have a GTD with GTD Mk1 body, not the same as your set-up but if it's of any assistance you're very welcome to have a look. PM me for details. Regards, Jim

Hi Malcolm, A few years ago now but I once had a full day (and that's a VERY full day) with the Forest Experience Rally School in a MkII Escort. Forest Experience Rally School Wales, Rally Driving Days Wales They're in North Wales about 40 miles west of Shrewsbury - so not too handy for Surrey...

Hi jykri, Many thanks for the info on my car. Regards, Jim

Hi Alan, The bushes shown in my previous post were removed from my 1991 RML40 during its recent refurbishment. I understand that RML's enquiries revealed them to have been made by a company owned by ZF (as in gearboxes) and, according to ZF's technical department at Crick, were prototypes that...
