Hi James, I must admit to never having considered the other types, mainly because at one time I had boxes of these. I have some other variants that Bryan Wingfield used on 1089 where the Press tab is smaller and there is an additional cross-member at the top of the female housing. I think I...

Hi James, I don't think that is the correct male clip for that latch which is why it's not fully closed. A Tornado wouldn't have had the 1-piece ones fitted, I stand to be corrected. Regards, Graham.

This is an image of the later-type latch, note how the male part is in two sections, when it's not engaged properly the top half hangs out like a warning flag: I hope that makes sense to everyone. Regards, Graham

Ryan's are much later latches - the male part that hooks into the housing is 1-piece on the GT40 type (as in posts #4 and #11), on this later type it is 2-piece so if it isn't properly fastened the top half sticks out like a flag.

Just spotted these on ebay, very interesting. Regards, Graham.

John Etheridge under the umbrella. The chap next to Eric Broadley looks like Len Bailey. Regards, Graham.

Well done Rune. Regards, Graham.

It's not listed in any of the GT40 Build Sheets. It could have been a spare. Regards, Graham.

I might have a set of these, I will look tomorrow. Regards, Graham.

The 3 Style Auto articles make up the book "The Inside Story of the Fastest Fords" by Karl Ludvigsen. Regards, Graham.

One of those "feel good" moments. Regards, Graham

I wouldn't worry about this Ryan, I'd sat in 3 original GT40s before I even noticed it :) Regards, Graham.

Looking good. Regards, Graham.

Hi Andy, The engine should be level. It helps to fit the sump (and gasket) to gauge whether the engine is high or low as does fitting the gearbox and crossmember. Good luck. Regards, Graham.

And I thought you were an engineer :p Why not measure the engine bushes and their mounts and use a similar clearance? Personally I would sleeve the inside of the bush and stick with a 1/2" UNF bolt. Regards, Graham.

Happy to help. Regards, Graham.

Hi Sim, I've passed these on for you. Regards, Graham.

Hi Sim, Message me your contact details and I will pass them on. Regards, Graham.

An awful lot of work including the engine, bodywork etc. It would be a shame to revert back to an earlier spec. IMO. Regards, Graham.

The lack of a casting number MIGHT indicate an aftermarket block, hard to know without pictures. Regards, Graham.
