James, the real deal as you put it, varies from car to car. Not all had the top nozzle. Can you enlighten me as to what you think is special about the base plate, because as far as I can determine, the baseplates were standard, not custom pieces (well they look that way from the outside...

Keith, was it a busy day at the office ?!?!? :D That 'yacht' cracks me up ;)

Quote taken from another web site: "My name is Mathias and I come from "good ol´ Germany". The Wood Motorcycle on the Picture is made by me. The Build takes about 9 months. Like a child :-) It´s a Honda CB250 RS engine with 22 Horsepowers inside. It´s enough for a topspeed from over 75mph. For...

I contacted the guy last year. He told me the same as is in the advert, no further information. Imo this is a standard ZF LSD, as I am not aware Shelby did anything special with them. Any provenence it may have cannot be proven, so it should be treated as a standard one, and valued...

mkII rims were wider than mkI rims, according to most books I've read. Not sure if the later Gulf flared cars ran the same width wheels as mkIIs though.

Devin, your PM limit is reached, so can't send you a PM. Give me a PM about the roof vent please when you've cleared your mailbox ;)

original cars are not actually flat bottomed, the floor pan is ribbed from side to side for strength...

Andy, sorry, I missed this thread before. I have a multi car policy, and my 40 will be covered using 'laid up' cover too. My house contents insurance covers contents of the garage, including spare parts and tools. I have to tell them about the engine & gearbox though as these are both...

What, a complete 427 side oiler, or a complete XE engine ?? You can get a new complete side oiler from an engine builder for $14k up. For one built around a good original side oiler block this can be double, depending on spec. Mine is somewhere between the two prices. As a guide, engine...

That is one hell of a lot of money for something so simple. especially when new high flow alloy pumps from edelbrock and Shelby are less than $200. Add to that, you can't even see the thing when its in the car !

Steve, Goran can supply the bellhousing too. It is designed for rod shift, so no idea re cable use. He told me it is being made to original specs and drawings, so is likely to be as they were. Not sure if they were sequential, but I know the original ZFs were. As yet none have been fully...

James, its not an FE manifold, so definitely for 289 or 302 use and not 427. Besides, the 427s in a 40 used single or dual holley setups. I doubt the 1015 you see has anything to do with a chassis number either as imo its a webber casting mark, not an engraving mark. I too think its a...

Just voted too. Your car features in the January edition of the Top Gear mag. Makes interesting reading, especially when the reporter says about him driving away seeing you in the rear view mirror waving your car bye-bye :bow: :D

Not as simple as that Jimmy. If the goods come by a courier the courier company may well inspect and charge duty. I know both UPS and FedEx do this, depending on what the shipping ticket on the outside of the package/crate says the value of the goods are. Geoff, i would suggest your best bet...

Thanks Paul, will give it a go.

My email has been returned as unable to deliver to [email protected]. anyone else get the same ??

Fingers crossed, I hope to be doing the same in 2008 :burnout:

who are you following Dick, and who is in the car with you ?

Sounds good to me. Will mail DoctorJohn shortly.

appologies to those north of the border (from England that is) ahead of time. Jock was out working the field when a barnstormer landed. "I'll give you an airplane ride for £50," said the pilot. "Sorry, cannae afford it," replied Jock. "Tell you what," said the pilot, "I'll give you and...
