Heat is an Enemy.......Dean, you probably are well aware of these other tricks as well: 1. I use Aeroquip Starlite hose and fittings for my fuel, oil, and transmission lines. For the fuel line that runs from the fuel regulator to the intake, I use DEI Heat Sheath for added insurance and...

That looks great Dean....Rock Solid! Perhaps the factory can use your design to fabricate and tig-weld a bracket onto future chassis..... for all of us who are Tig-challenged.....or else everyone can copy this great technique.

Line clamps for shifter cables through the cockpit:...or through the engine compartment......Earls 167207. Adel clamps are so much cheaper and function just as well, but aluminum line clamps may be a little easier to deal with in very tight quarters.....or not. Thanks again Dean for your...

This is an incredible build log Dean!....There is so much here to learn from your expertise! Just another idea: For those of you that feel heat may be a problem for the shifter cables, there is a black vulcan fire sleeve that is available that is supposed to help in high-heat situations...

What happened to the rivnut in this discussion......did I miss something? I mounted my shifter with steel Rivnuts and, in my application, (LMP-1) it is solid as a rock. I fabricated aluminum brackets out of 1.5" X 3/16" angle, which are bolted solid to the shifter box, and in turn bolted to...

I have seen builders on different parts of the Forum struggle with conventional hard-line brake lines. Some have come pre-bent in a kit but didn't quite fit the chassis. On the other hand, I have a car I built frame-up that came in component form with all braided AN brake and clutch lines...

Thanks for posting this. I noticed it as well and agree. (just my novice opinion).

Just my opinion, but I think you have nailed it! Best design yet! Everything you do is top-notch. Just wondering......turn signals? Thanks for sharing your technical expertise. David

My impression as well....narrower width of the frames or, if not feasible, black anodize......or both?..... just my two cents... Tail lights look great!

Re: Long axle - Spindle Covers for Forgestar Wheels I buy all my ARP Hardware like this from Allen's Fasteners: All Keywords: ARP-100-7713

Re: Long axle - Spindle Covers for Forgestar Wheels Looks like your question was answered before I hit "send." Watching Sunday Night Football!

Re: Long axle - Spindle Covers for Forgestar Wheels You are definitely on the right track to ask the questions.....Like the old saying: "If something doesn't look right, it probably isn't!" The lug nut thread issue is even more important. Sorry I can't help you, as I am building an LMP-1...

Painless Wiring 40024 Jamb Tac Door Jamb Connector, 4 Wire

Wiring for Electric Side Mirrors: I built and Ultima GTR. The factory supplied some great electric door-mounted side mirrors. To eliminate the bundle of wires from the body to the door, I borrowed a method from the Hot Rod industry that consists of spring-loaded contacts between the body...

Paul Walker's father is suing Porsche for his son's death: Paul Walker's father sues Porsche over actor's death - Nov. 27, 2015 The investigation revealed the car was traveling at a speed of 80 to 93 MPH, in a 45 zone when it hit a light pole. Blame the car, not the driver and passenger.

I have used these on header bolts before. Other than the worry about dropping the little pieces down into never-never land, they seem to work great when installed. My concern about this application, when I first saw it, was that the centrifugal force when spinning at high speeds might dislodge...

Some applications use M10 X 1.5, Grade 12.9, Torqued to 62 dry or 47 oiled, or lubed with ARP Assembly lube. Adequate length to engage all threads. Just make sure you are using High Collar lock washers....regular ones don't work. I consider them like header bolts....expect them to come...

The degree of professional demeanor of the players on both sides was impressive. A few minor incidents, but overall very clean play. The Dan Carter drop goal truly exemplifies what an incredible player he is....there is a reason he is the highest paid player in the world! The final try by...

Torque-Seal on every bolt and nut. Most of you already know but for those who don't: Doesn't prevent loosening, but does tell you, at a glance, whether any has occurred. You can check the integrity of every fastener on your entire car in minutes. Also reminds you of which fasteners you have...

For anyone who wants to add a car like this to their collection, Porsche 962-108C-2 is coming up for auction at Mecum Kissimmee in January. It is reputed to be the fastest 962 ever built, and won the 1989 Daytona 24-hour. Enjoy...
