^what he said :thumbsup:

You're right Andrew, shot him an email and his response was immediate. Thanks.

What's Jay's current phone number he can reached, I'm not able to connect on the number his website provides. Also seems his website is a bit dated so was wondering if he's still in the GT40 business. Tim

Wheel badge worked out great Andrew

Nice stuff Mike, great car, your wife envious of all the time you spend with it yet?! Front skid plate is my next project. Thanks for the pics. You guys are talking "nicks" I'm talking gouges. Yikes!

:thumbsup: Thanks for the lead Scott Calabro, Aircraft Spruce has what I'm looking for. Leave it to your aircraft background to recommend AS. Thanks for taking the time to suggest it.

Where can 3" ventilation hose (cockpit) be purchased? I like the fabric material that the SPF comes with but having a hard time sourcing it.

It was a pleasure working with Andrew of GT40 Gold Parts (gt40goldpart.com). He was most helpful in providing an authentic period correct Lucas mirror, mirror mount, steering wheel badge and key ring. Andrew was extremely prompt in communicating, and I received the parts from half way round the...

Good suggestions Alan, yes I did both although I forgot to test the new one before I put it in (assuming new it'll be ok). I thought the old one was bad but I did the water\thermometer test as you mentioned and it worked but at well over 205 deg F. And the fans do come on if I put the wires...

I love the idea of cooling the water after shut down for a short bit to reduce the heat soak. Can an electric water pump be installed/operated without removing the water pump on the motor? BTW, I installed a lower temp thermoswitch and the fans still don't come on, I took the motor temp up to...

Jack's shop vac worked flawless. I got about 3 gallons back in so I figure the vac got most if not all. I still managed to turn what should be 60 minute procedure into a 6 hour project but that's another story. It's a simple process and nearly dropless. Thanks Jack.

Mike, any chance you have a picture of what the two bolts, holding the Tilton reservoir in place, secure to? I'm mounting mine in the same place and I'm curious what mount/bracket design I should make. Thanks, Tim

Ok Jack, I'm trying it today and I'll report back. Sounds way too simple for something on these cars!!

Any other bright ideas from you geniuses? I'll probably adapt a tee and hose like Alan during my first flush but since it's already full of water I would like a solution that doesn't get the front chassis area full of dirty used coolant. Does Jack's shop vac method really get all the water out...

Glad to be some help here. John, your right on the mark regarding used Webers. You never know what previous work has been done and your suggestion of check everything can't be overstated (I have a set of jets in mine right now I haven't got around to marking correctly). Once you go step by step...

Any SPF specific pics of 6 pt harness submarine belt mounts. Due to the SPF integrated seat support welded in place I am trying to find the correct location to bolt the submarine belts to the chassis and be relatively close to seat belt manufacturers recommendations. The only option I see is...

Not to diminish the obvious points made in this thread regarding street cars with full cage and no brain bucket but here's an interesting option for those who choose a full cage street car (I being one of those): https://www.rollbarpadding.com/product/id-38

Chuck is absolutely right, the most important tool next to a blade driver (it's nice to have an electric one), to remove the jets, may be the Unisyn air volume tool. A must have to complete the linkage \ sync procedure.

Michael, Have you ever experienced this motor running well with the current idle jetting? This would be good to know in trying to help diagnose your issue. Webers have only two basic areas to tune (yes, it's that simple.....kinda!), idle circuit (up thru mid 2k rpm) and the main circuit...

I have some original documentation dating back to 1996 when the builder\1st owner registered the Tornado. I thought I had some build data but in review of the folder I only have information pertaining to registration applications. Tim
