Chris, You posted this several years ago - does this convert the outer Corvette U-joint to CV joint? Did you make them or can they be purchased! I'm not sure whether I communicated with you before on these!

Julian, I have a KVA - I'd be interested in getting a copy of your manual. My manual labeled "Sabre GT 40 Assembly Manual" (is this the same one you have?) has no pictures and no dates. It lists the assembly in stages. At the rear of the manual is a spreadsheet labeled "Sabre GT351 Bill of...

I hope you didn't try to drive the GT40 in the snow! John

[The complete axle. I spent about $400 to have all four machined (I used inner and outer adapters to both the Datsun strut and Datsun R200 differential. You only needing two should be much cheaper.] Terry, Thanks for your exhaustive response and pictures - it makes using your solution all...

Lynn, Thanks for your advice - I thought mixing joint types was a problem. I have a KVA which uses a 930 Porche transaxle (CV-joints) mated to Corvette Hubs (U-joints) and this is the source of the problem! Are you aware of any adapter kits that could convert Corvette (U-joints) to...

You gentlemen are engaged in an interesting discussion regarding u-joints - my situation is somewhat different. I have cv-joints on the transaxle side and u-joints on the wheel hub side. I pick up vibration and some have argued that this is the problem with my vibration. Anybody care to comment...

What kind of suspension and drive axles does your kit come with? Mine has Corvette! John

Robin, I have a KVA - a question about your drive axles. Do your axles have a CV joint on one side and a U-joint on the other. My setup has this and I'm using a Porsche 930 transaxle. My KVA has a vibration problem at low speeds and I beleive this may be the source of the problem! John

Mine is for sale in the States (Md). Send me your email address and I'll send photos and info! John

For sale is a very nice 1965 KVA Ford GT40 - The KVA was designed by Kevin Vincent Atwell (Senior Production engineer with Ford Motor Co.) He was tasked by Ford to build the molds and replacement parts for the original GT40 race cars. He was later given permission by Ford Motor Co. to use the...

Doug, I have Corvette rear drum parking brakes on my KVA which has a Corvette rear suspension. I got my parts from Ecklers Corvette (check spelling). One problem I had is that I was only able to get the right side pad working - the lever that activates the left side would not mount properly...

Post some pictures of what he's done and all the parts he has - that should help in assessing its value! John

Maryland Randy, I'm in Maryland - I simply place mine on the dash on the passenger side of the vehicle. The cops don't seem to mind. If stopped, I'll simply tell them that it fell off! John :lol::lol:

Ron, I should be there late Friday and Saturday - I'm leaving shortly! Hope to see you there! John P.S. What is your cell phone number? :thumbsup:

Chuck, My distributor had less than 1,000 miles on it when it failed. The bearings on the pick up coil apparently went bad and the coil was rubbing against the distributor base until it shorted out. Luckily, a friend of mine quickly observed that I was not getting any spark from the...

Chris, Mine packed it up the other day - your case was better - mine stopped on a superhighway! After towing it in and inviting a friend of mine over, we found out that it was the pick up coil in the distributor. If you're not getting any spark to the plugs, the problem is likely in the...

The purchase terms: " The remainder of the purchase price will be due within three days by wire transfer only, to an account which I will specify. No checks, no money orders, no bank checks, nothing -- when I see verified funds in the account, the car will ship." seem suspicious -...

SpyderMike, There has been one posted off and on on eBay - I think the owner wants about $20 for it - go to eBay and search on GT 40 in eBay Motors. I had one years ago but can't locate it - probably still packed away in some of my boxes when I moved! John :thumbsup:
