Started the next step , painting. I leave this to the people that know how. Even if I sanded for long time they said not good enough. The car is in good hands.

I made my own seats for my 40 , but when gt40 builders in Scandinavia observed this I ended up with a lot of seats. It is good to be able to help some of the mono builders, since I had the drawing and tools. But it is time consuming to make them. So I go back to the car work.

I will try to copy the willment car from 2004 . I like the way it is painted. And it is not so far from 1049.

A long time since I posted here, but I have worked on the car almost every day , and now it goes to the painter, his price will ruin me, but then he give a good result hopefully.

Graham I know it is machined for 28oz imballance , but is the original drawings correct enough to use the flywheel without a check ? I plan to put a fabric flywheel in a balancer machine first and zero the machine , and then take my flywheel into the same machine and see if it have a offset from...

I made my own flywheel exact like the original ones from the 60's but I belive I have to balance the flywheel . Can this be done as a stand alone? or do I have to use a crankshaft and the harmonic damper to get the right balance. I think the old original flywheel drawings was correct, but I...

I do not trust the old mecanical speedo cables , so I changed to a digital instrument, and made my own pickup for the sensor.

I am on the forum every day and have found very much that I could use in my building of a 100% clone of the 40. I made a donate and hope every others also do that. I cannot think of a future without this forum. There are so many nice and helpful people here. Rune

I was told that a GT40 had a fire in some histroric racing event in Germany or Austria some years ago They told me it was a original car. Does someone have knowledge about this , I have not found anything. Rune.

It is better to buy a complete monocoque chassis it is cheaper and many many years faster. I know someone to build a chassis

I belive that the plans are usable, but remember you need all drawings if you intend to make a exact clone of the Monocoque, belive me , I have been true this . So if you buy theese plans you can make a kind of monocoque, not complete, it might be good enough for most of the builders. You have...

The GPS speedometer is ok if you live in a place with no tunnels, but in Norway we have lots of tunnels so the authorities does not allow this as the only speedometer.

My plan was to use a mechanical speedometer and cable from the ZF 25-2 transaxle . I wonder if there are senders to connect on the ZF ? and use a digital speedometer. I have to use a speedometer with km not mph, the authorities require this. Someone out there with a good idea ? Rune

Then finally the Flywheel is complete just have to do a balance job and connect the starter ring. Also made the outer stub axles complete. So now lots of work is waiting for me in the work shop.

Finaly I got my radiator, it is the closest you can get to the original without the Marston stamped on. It fit 100% in the car. It is made from old drawings. I'm happy that these good people did a excellent job on this semi original rad.

I have started to produce some outer stub axles and the flywheel. It is lots of programming to do before the machines can do the job. But it started well in the lathe. I will use 930 CV joints in both end now to start with, and might change to donut later. My work now is sanding sanding sanding...

I know this mkII is Norwegian. Look nice

I saw these pictures on this website, they are not taken at GOX factory . We have made the serie we planned to build, and are now doing flywheels and other parts needed for those cars.

Thanks for the info. Now I can continue more on my own monocoque Rune.

Steve. Did you got any information when you bought the kit? How complete was your kit when you bougth it? Do you know what all the numbers on the tag is? I have not got any info from Jean yet. I could have send this on mail, but there can be others that also need info, so then we all can share...
