Hi Darren No problem with me helping to man the show as usual on the Saturday. Just sold my car though so I can't help there.

Hi Andy Thanks for responding!. Firstly apologies for not responding to your private mail , i failed to spot you had sent a reply and since i have ordered a larger slave at the pedal end which has done the trick. Thanks so much for you offer though!. As regards the gear, yes i guess that...

Hi all. Im fitting some new flywheel ring gear onto a ford essex v6 flywheel. I have a geared essex starter motor. Im not sure which orientation i should make the ring gear. I have 2 photos attached showing the both different sides, basically you will see a stronger flat ridge on one side...

im in darren !

Hi ian Not sure if you have resolved this yet. i just took delivery of a new GT40 SM for UN1/essex flywheel applications from WOS performance. They tried a custom 2KW geared motor for me, in place of the normal 1KW. The results are phenomenal!, i swear i nearly get valve bounce! i have a...

fantastic!. The best event i have ever been to.

yep i will be there too!, looking forward to see the 917 and 512's especially

Hi John Just a sidenote The tornado manual (at least my old one) tells you to just make the torque up tight and not up to 180-200ft/lb. Might be worth checking this before you break a bearing

Hi John. Couple of possibilities I can think of. The wheel bearings ( I think from most manufacturers ) are a 2 piece design that need torquing up to bring together in the housing. Maybe they are loose in the bearing housing. You might want to try assembling the Disc with the drive flange and...

fairly certain it is triumph dolomite. Certainley mine is in my tornado and im sure the GTD one was the same.

Im not sure all GTD's had mk3 bearings. I think early ones were mk2. Certainly my Tornado ones are mk2 and the nut is impossible to find (7/8 * 20tpi UNEF) and doesnt come with any bearing kit i have found so far. Make sure you double check before ordering

Hello All Midland members. Just a reminder that we have our usual social evening on Tuesday 6th October from 7.30. It would be great to see a few new faces at the meets, so please feel free to pop along and join us in some chat sometimes involving GT40's! Any further information please contact...

thanks Ian, managed to get in no problem

Do we have a club stand at this years event ? , if so do we have a discount code for booking ?

I have the smaller CBS unit it and it works great. If you have not yet fitted the engine i strongly advise getting some brackets made for your compressor as it's much easier to do if your engine is out.

Nice engine but not for a GT40. I want a replica to look and sound like the original. Who needs more than 450 + bhp in a light weight car anyway ?. The beauty of a GT40 extends to opening the lovely engine bay and showing off the simple Polished rocker covers and bundle of snakes exhaust, a...

Sold to Mark ,thanks for looking

This year see a return of the fabulous Donington historic race event again this year on May 3/4/5. Last year there were plenty of 40's out on track as well as other big banger prototypes in the pre 72 1000Km race such as lola t70's and even a Ferarri 512M Does anyone know if the club have a...

i didnt want to say that but that's exactly what my dyno tuner said!! 350bhp is plenty for a road engine in a gt40 anyway !
