Nik, To the best of my knowledge your car was designed to take an Escort rack. The ball joints within the rack are most probably a different spacing than a Cortina. By using another rack could alter the handling. My advice would be if you need to change the rack, then fit the same as you...

Hi Nik Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of information here to help with your (re)build. Which chassis do you have? Is it the origional type which uses a cortina front sub frame or is it the later 'C' type with KVA's own front suspension? I am sure you will have lots of questions to...

I wonder if Ettore Bugatti or Colin Chapman were ever told to stop dreaming and go and get a proper job. Without people with dreams of building a car of their own design where would we be? Trevor, if I read you right what you are looking at building is a one off of your own design, not going...

Hi Ollie, Sorry to say I think that the car in the picture is an early KVA MkIII replica. It looks like it has a 'Q' registration. You may be able to trace it through the Enthusiasts Club from the registration. Tim Martin has a huge collection of pictures and information of their owners...

The IVA don't like holes in the steering wheel. You will have to cover or fill them. Brian.

Mike, It is only the Foreigners who come over here who don't know which side of the road to drive on, we know. As for driving counter clockwise around roundabouts (or islands as they are known in the midlands) well that would be interesting having to cross to the WRONG side of the road to do...

If the car needed a passport, then country of birth would be England. Or would it have dual nationality? So to my mind it is English or possibly Anglo-American but NOT American. Brian.

I would imagine it was written by Kevin Farringdon but quite a few years ago. I am sure he will see this post and reply. Brian.

Trevor That is correct, they are designed to have a pre-load. The nuts will have to be tightened to 200lb. As long as the outer races are fitted fully home in the housing then this will give the correct pre-load. Brian.

Mick, Do you get birthday and Christmas presents or are the rolled into one? Many Happy returns - and make sure you stay out of the workshop for at least a couple of days over Christmas!!! Brian.

The parts listed below are the property of past GT40 Enthusiasts Club chairman Eric Smith. As some of you might know, Eric has been admitted to a nursing home suffering from dementure and motor nurone disease. I am helping Eric's brother to dispose of these GT40 related items. To simplify the...

Hi Mark, I am in Newbury and have a GTD with a 289 and ZF gearbox. You are welcome to come and have a look and take measurements. Just send me a PM. Brian.

Simon, Just one post. I am sure you are sitting there having a good laugh at this!!!!

Well here is a dark green and yellow colour (color) scheme that seemed to go down well in the states !!!!! Brian
