Looks like a job for Car SOS!!!! Just need to come up with a sob story. Brian.

W= Brian Wingfield? He built some cars. Brian.

I would hazard a guess it is a KVA with Southern GT suspension. Mick would know. Brian.

As this involves club funds it should be voted for by the GT40 Enthusiasts Club membership. I totally disagree with this suggestion as I would not wish for the Club to sponsor a website that has less and less GT40 content. I now find that there is a smaller content of the website that I...

It's really nice to see an abandoned project eventually get finished (we all know they are never finished). The IVA is a real tester for anyone but it goes to show that it IS achievable. Well done Tony. Brian.

Dave, This is what I did on Chris Coles's chassis to lower his gearbox. His gearbox was inverted so it may not work on yours but it might give you an idea. Brian.

Hi Dave, You can take out the engine cradle and make new mounts that bolt to the chassis rails either side. That gets rid of the rail under the sump, then you can lower the front of the engine to the height you require. You should also be able to replace the gearbox rubber mounts for ones half...

I am with Peter James Insurance who are underwritten by KGM. I have had reason to use them and had no problems apart from being a bit slow. I had my GT40 partly resprayed through them and was not happy with the colour match. After inspection they agreed to respray the whole car. Mind you...

The GT40 Enthusiasts Club is having a display of eight cars at the Classic & Sports Car Club race meeting at Thruxton this Sunday. We will be behind the spectator banking opposite the pits. It should be a great meeting and the club will be having a couple of parade laps during the lunch break. I...

....or Have a fuel pressure gauge visible from the drivers seat and run the engine with the pumps off till the pressure has dropped to zero. Brian.

Hi Carman Try Mick Sollis at Southern GT. I believe he stocks them. Brian.

Maybe the Club should have driven it up and down the M42 for 24 hours till it looked the part!!!! Brian.

Craig, They get there at around 7.30 and you need to ask for Richard Guest Brian.

Craig, You should have been at the NEC Classic Car Show this weekend just gone where the GT40 Enthusiasts Club had a stand. The Club have meetings at The Toby Carvery CV7 7HL on the first Tuesday of the month. You should be able to get all the answers you need from car owners and builders. Brian.

Sam, Welcome to the GT40 community. Which poster was it? On my office wall I have ' Would you let your daughter marry a Ford owner' & 'If you've got GT fever... your Ford Dealer has the cure.' Where abouts in the UK are you? Brian.

Sounds like a job for Glen !!! Brian.

Hi All, Pam would like to thank all the people who have sent her good wishes on the forum, with flowers and with cards. She is recovering well and hopes to thank a lot of you personally in the not too distant future. Brian.

Unfortunately I have had to cancel my plans for Classic Le Mans this year. My wife, Pam received facial and arm injuries at a local airfield 'fly in' on June 5th. We were getting in the '40 to go home when a Tiger Moth lost control on take off and hit the barrier behind the car. I saw it...

That won't satisfy the IVA examiners, It has to be 'permanently' locked. I have just helped someone through the test. We adjusted the brakes so that the fronts came on just before the backs by jacking all four wheels off the ground and turning the wheels by hand with the brake partly on. We...

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forum. The MkI KVA sold a few days after the auction. The owner was not on the forum but came to our meetings at West Meon occasionally. The buyer of the MkIII also comes along. Come and see us on the third Tuesday of any month, there might even be some cars there in...
