Thanks for the comments. I asked because my car has the feed/in at the left and the out at the right (opposite to the diagram above and in some other RCR builds). The vent port (with a line back to the reservoir) properly sits on the top right - and a bleed tap (used when filling the system)...

Hi: Does anybody know whether the GT40 radiator (RCR to be specific) is built symmetrically, in other words, does it matter whether the left or the right port is chosen for ``hot-in" (and the other for cool-out)? (I suppose the unusual location of the hot-in port at the bottom is due to the...

Hi: A few years ago a 1992 GTD Mk II was advertised with a SADEV transaxle in the Netherlands (Breda). So it has been done. I took a look at the car back then. I dug up a photo but it does not reveal too much about the transaxle. I could probably get you in contact with the sales agent...

:) Air filter or no air filter? For utmost performance and for a short time: no filters. "short" depends on ambient conditions and luck. For longevity and slightly lower performance: filters. ``slightly" depends on the type of filtration. I clean my filters (K&N, ITG) typically once a year...

Hi: Mounts are currently advertised on ebay in France. Not sure if exactly the same were used in the GT40. But they are easy to cut from an aluminium panel at home. Mounting: bond studs to the inside around the lamp opening matching up with the holes on the mounting bracket of the lamp...

This is what ITG say about fire hazard (https://www.itgairfilters.com/faq/): ``Are the filters flame proof? All of the Megaflow, JC70, JC71 and trumpet socks contain a self extinguishing layer within the foam, which prevent the filter setting alight from engine spit back. If there is a...

Yes CATs are doable of course - my car has them and I wanted it this way. They are just something one has to be aware of. It is best to start out with an engine designed for them. Not sure what it would take to bring a ``1973” Mexican block V8 to Euro 5 or 6 standard - haha? A strict...

Things to look out for when importing a car (historic or not) into the EU: Catalytic converters became mandatory for newly registered cars in the EU typically at the end of the 1980’s. Exact dates differ: Austria Jan. 1, 1988, Italy or GB Jan 1. 1993. Now, if one imports a car into Austria...

Hi Romain: The EU (and Austria in my case) have become very picky about emission standards, pedestrian safety features, etc. I managed to get a GT40 (RCR first registered in England in 2015 under IVA regulations = old-fashioned emission requirements) but now would strongly recommend getting...

Yes, Brian above pointed out the main problem: vision to the left - this occurs when merging traffic at an angle less than 90 deg. or when moving over to the left lane for passing (here the left mirror and a rear-view camera can provide some assistance - looking over your left sholder will do...

Depends on when the negative was made - Dudley Mason-Styrron? - but here you go|: https://www.peterauto.fr/en/2022/estoril-classics-last-round-of-the-2022-series-by-peter-auto/

I could come up with a set of correct near new Lucas lights, however, for driving on the LHS of the road (since asymmetric for the UK). I converted to original Marchals (convex) - but they cost.

Yes, I'm pretty sure, at a few Euros, my serial cable is Chinese made ;-) Anyway, an official FAST cable is on its way and the MediaFire driver accepts the ``Chinese" cable. Have been searching within family and friends for an old Microsoft PC myself. 14 years ago I set one up for my kids...

I inherited a FAST XFI version 1.340 with my GT40 (LS7 engine) and set myself up to modify the settings after failing to pass the emissions test on my annual inspection (“too rich”). i had to overcome several obstacles: I’m a MAC OSX and Linux user only - no experience with Microsoft really...

Hello: I add a few snapshots from the door area of an original MK II for a comparison of how a RCR40 seems to be supplied (without modifications - not my car but same setup, 3rd pic). Main difference is that the MK II has some splash shield at the door hinges and on down so that the door...

Regarding number and position: I dug up two photos from back when I was looking for brake ducting ideas and originality. Cars appear to be original GT40's but it's hard to say what modifications have been done over the years.

Hi Chris: Is the serial number and/or year of production of this ZFQ available? The ZFQ box seems to have been improved over the years. Mine is an early one (~2007, with less than 2000 miles on it, 2nd owner) and I plan to have it upgraded or swapped. Upshift from 2nd to third is impossible...

Hi: If you patiently follow this video and stop it at the right moment you will find where the horn is placed in this particular MK II (hint: ignore the discussion on cooling hoses): Many more interesting details in this video ! My guess: only a single horn was used to save weight but meet...

Hello: I thought I'd share with you a few links related to an event which took place September 2021 in Graz, Austria, in honor of Jochen Rindt. Of interest, to all of you curious about original GT40's, their sound, and present appearance, is the close look the first video offers as to the...

ok, TheWrenchMonkey informed me that SKF BR930023 has been discontinued (out of stock - obsolete link). Thus I ordered SKF BR930186's elsewhere... Will use the time waiting for parts to fit brake duct back plates etc.
