I'll see him this week and will ask.

Well, we can see that in person at the GT Reunion!

The end on a female fitting floats, you can index the hose. If it didn't float, the hose would twist as you tightened the fitting.

Brian, I will contact you. This is a very generous offer. I will talk to the director of the PVGP and see what he thinks for a deserving child. The main charity that the PVGP supports is a school for autistic children, so I am sure they have ideas.

We had some self-adhesive clear silicone that could be used as a seal, but it did not work well on the curves. We could have them die cut from a flat sheet, but the tooling costs makes them very expensive.

Yes, and often if an AN fitting leaks, it is because one of the tapered surfaces is galled. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can get them to seal by "re-indexing" the male and female to give a different sealing surface. This is a "get by" fix, once galled they should have new ends.

Pipe fitting are tapered threads, it is the threads that seal, not the interface of the two ends. Pipe fittings are on the gas lines in your home.

AN fittings, no. Pipe fittings, yes.

Yes, Blas will be at the reunion with his son. You will not meet a more genial guy with more knowledge. (OK, Blas, I said it so now you owe me that drink)

Devin, Saw those posts, thank you!

Thanks. What we really need is for everyone on GT40s.com to network with anyone that is a GT fan. Many are not on this site and while we are using every means possible to reach people, word of mouth is the best way. Know someone with a 40? Someone who is a fan? Invite them!

At the PVGP GT Reunion, "Charity Rides" are offered to raise money for the PVGP charities. Normally these are in various vintage race cars that the drivers offer for a $60.00 donation. At this year's event, rides will be in GT40s! And for a $150.00 donation you can ride shotgun with David Hobbs...

One of my neighbors ran the program at Harrison Radiator here in Lockport that manufactured those. Harrison did a lot of aviation coolers; he ran the engineering program that did brake coolers for the Boeing 747 program.

Yes, you really need a full day. I have been once and only had two hours, I basically ran through the museum. Hope to get back this year with at least a day to view it.

This is the first we have heard of on the SPF wheels.

Possibly. Our seal is "V" shaped so it will close the gap between the vent plex and the relied in the main window.

Yes, we still offer it.

It does not yellow. It will become slightly less transparent. It is high quality silicone. Perhaps some who have it on their cars will comment.

Note that the first post is from 2008 and made by someone who became a Superformance dealer! Many improvements have been made to the chassis since then. Most all of the "issues" are addressed on threads here, some are very easy to rectify, others are do the use of the original 60's design. The...
