Carte gris?

Its no point ordering from any of the companies unless you get them from South Africa directly using the thread and wheel specs used by SPF and specific to your hubs. Its many retired engineers/machinists offering their fabrication service on ebay. Often at a good price. Worth a shot checking.

Easiest is to measure threads and have a machineshop cnc a set matched to your wheels

If I remember correct, the last price for a lower Gelscoe arm was region of a £1000 bare. So all in all $700 is’nt too bad for an SPF one and you can reuse your bearings etc

Could you make up a jig using the other one, cut out the bent tube, have a new tube made up to replicate the good one by using the bent one as a guide as to how its been fabricated and braze or tigweld the new piece in? (Obiously removing the bearings etc and using insert bosses for the jig...

Superb quality, help and service from Ricky Evans Motorsport. Just contact them as they have alot of GT40 screen bucks. Lee’s bodywork is GTD, same as for most replicas. I have two screens for my mono, which also fits a GTD center section with slight rework of the A-pillar fiberglas flange.

Many options online instead of going for new unbranded ones. Fully adjustable with buckets. Should be easy to get sorted.

Or just have one made. Probably easier that.

These lights are plentifull on ebay for MGBs etc licence plate lights, just order old ones and not the chinese copies. Use paypal and its no hassle. I probably have a box of these old lights up in the loft should you not find any from my old MGs

The two photos of P1075 I took at LMC’23 @ museum P1016 photo borrowed from Shelby American Collection museum.

I think you’re pretty close with Microgramma medium font for No. 6 You could look at US Navy font, but thats more for Mk2 P1016.

GTD and other bodies alike have a rounded lower aft corner, unlike the square KVA. Easiest would be to get some Lexan and use the old one as a template.

KVA is long gone. Photo of window, lower aft edge round or square?
