Thanks, Markus you're the man. Are you just going to order a replacement set from Olthoff or source them locally? All the ones I've seen are made by AVM Industries. My kit came with the gas struts still in the plastic sleeve with the AVM logo on them. Sorry to say the part number is missing. I...

Mark, not that I have ever seen. There are large catalogs filled with these things in every size and shape imaginable. If you had onboard air you might be able to use an air cylinder. Push a button and you're up, push another and you're down, well you know what I mean. Speaking of air cylinders...

You guys are right. If they haven't all SPF owners should check and Loctite the little alan bolts holding the bearing, bearing nut, and retainer rings on. I had one of the front retainer rings, nut, and inside bearings exit the car at about 70 MPH in the middle of nowhere at 1 am. I had little...

Markus thanks for the help. I look forward to seeing pictures for your 40.

I have a kit for my MKI from Olthoff but the instructions aren't very good. I was hoping one of you with a MKI and know you have the Olthoff kit installed would share some pictures of your install. I got the same "4684" sticker on my struts and they are 21 1/4"ish center to center. The Honda...

Does anyone know what paint Superformance uses to paint their Dashboards? It has to be painted because there are a few different materials. Dash fiberglass, switch panels ABS, etc. I'm trying to add some much-needed lighted lettering and will need to do some touchup of the paint. I might also...

Now there's an idea. I could hide it under the GT emblem. Better yet I could hook it up to the backup lights. That would stop there heart for a few beats.

Could have really used the smoke screen the other day when some teenage girl thought sitting on my tailpipe would somehow magically make me disappear. Experlative dealeted.

Thought I'd share another picture of my knob but this time with one of JimmyMac's amazing GT emblems. Thanks James. There may come a day when gasoline powered cars are no longer allowed on our countries roads and that will be a very sad day indeed. Mostly from the perspective of people not...

Interesting, thanks guys. I guess the knob that came on my car would be correct as it came with a black knob that has the correct dimensions. No idea what it's made of.

I finally got around to making my first shift knob yesterday. I was surprised how well my metal lathe worked as a wood lathe. Now that I know I can make one I have a nice piece of burl walnut I'd like to try. Hard to believe the tiny carbide boring bar is supposed to cut steel. The insert I...

Sorry I guess I forgot that part. I'm also modifying the panel its shelf and it can't have any switches installed.

OK it finally came off but. It looks like they hack sawed off the end of the shaft so they could shove the knob on far enough so it went about a 1/4" inside the front of the switch to keep it from moving left and right (not in and out) to activate the a valve that's not being used. Maybe a valve...

Sorry Bob no pin. JimmyMac sorry I'm all out of spoons that would fit the bill but I'll keep that in mind it's a good one. I do however have lots of scrap metal. Because the knob was stuck down tight to the nut I had to start by using a trim saw to remove around .020" around the bottom of the...

I have an SPF GT40 and I’m replacing the dim bulbs in all the instruments with LED’s. I hoping to not have to remove the dash but so far it’s been very difficult to get at the back of the instruments. Getting the dashes center switches out of the way would help so I started to remove the...

Thanks I give him a call on Monday.

Would you mind sharing Dave Browns phone number. I'm hoping he might have the paint codes for the dark blue/orange on GT40P/1049 car. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread but Nisonger was was enough to me the instructions.

Glad you liked my pictures.

Thanks so much for sharing. Nice looking install. I tried mounting my camera there and it gave a great rear view of the the cars around me but for me it gave a very strange perspective while backing up which is how I like to park the car in my shop. A turntable would be nice but pigs don't fly...
