Hi: ATL, Fuel Safe, etc. will make for you racing bladders to your dimensions (e.g. to the same shape as your tanks) to FIA, SCCA ... standard.

yes, this should work, take along a lamp and a set of nose pliers- I've spent a few happy times in this position - last time about 2 weeks ago when tracing the ignition wire to a loose socket ... use the steering column to pull yourself back out ;-) you might even be able to reach in (after...

Hi: I think you should provide more details regarding make of vehicle and tachometer ... I had a similar problem a while ago (RCR40) and was wondering how in the world I should get access to the bracket screws when I found out the tach had just been stuck into its opening...

if you are talking about the round auxiliary lights (Marchal TP 27SP, fog and high beam), they take R2 (Bilux) 45/40W 12V 3200K P45T ....

Hi: I have the original Marchal head lamps and they take the standard H4 bulbs - nothing special.

Glad to help. Good luck with your project! Looking forward to your progress reports. Let me know if you need any pictures/solutions off my car ...

No, it isn't ;-) . The engine maybe is not too far off 60s technology, however, EFI and catalytic converters definitely are. So are the fuel cells. When I looked for a car in around 2019 I had to make the decision to go for a replica that, by age, could be titled as ``historic" (i.e. street...

Hi: Looks like an alternative to "eyebrows". Maybe comment #29 of https://www.gt40s.com/threads/p2123-in-the-wet.29175/page-2#post-268624 can help? I remember seeing photos of a GTD (?) using this system.

I fully agree with your comment, also when you say "is widely used on plenty of modern car". On a GT40 I'm happy to live with 60s technology.

Car is happy again - and so am I ... ;-)

Kinsler...

Go without badge - it saves weight and makes you happy - even when the leather is cracked slightly ;-) !!!

Hi: I don't think you need the sway bars for the street. In particular, the car tends to under-steer anyway and when the tail comes - it comes ;-). However, if you like to see John's installation at the rear, take a look at the photo in my build log. The RCR front setup is as shown in the 2...

First two outings this year. After clutch fork rod replacement and installation and set-up I noticed that the slave cylinder was seeping fluid. So half-axle came out again and the cylinder was rebuilt. Along the way I replaced the lhs axle boots/bellows with performance boots from the...

Does anybody have a template (and dimensions) of the flap window (preferentially from an original car)? Thanks in advance.

Hello: Just a few comments: if the car has a Spanish (historic) title (please check that it is valid !) and you wish to register the car in Spain there should be no problem in this respect. As to the car itself: have a look at it - ask for a test drive. Based on he components you list and...

I think that early ERA GT40s have the advantage that they may qualify for historic plates AND are close to the original in using a monocoque. Other early replicas, such as KVA or GTD, usually use space frames. More recently other replica/``continuation" manufacturers have adopted...

Thanks for the input above. I ordered a set from Fran.

What are we worried about driving a ``closed vehicle"??? Watch this (I'm referring to the fourth quarter of it, the Cobras, the 275/330 P's and the one superb Chaparral ;-):
