    Knock sensor location SBF?

    By my knowledge, knock sensors are not universal at all. They need to be calibrated for a specific frequency corresponding to the engine & location they are fitted to. You might concider a different route with EGT sensors as a safety control feature for your EFI system. EGT acts way quicker...

    Wanted: GTD or KVA Over 30 Years Old

    I think the V5 should say something also with GT or GT40, and not just Ford Granada, Ford Cortina or just Ford Capri.

    Fasteners for glasfibre body? (Windows)

    You have to glue them also. Otherwise when you undo the bolts in the future the inserts will come out to. I used the brass ones with stainles bolts to hold my Gurney flap. Steel will rust inside the fibreglas and when the rust forms it expands damadging the surrounding fibreglass creating...

    Marchal 652 and 653 spot / fog lights

    The alternative I used, Ford Capri Mk1 (UK) (Not EU) spot lamps. In the pic you'll see the Fog version. Genuine FoMoCo. Nearly identical in size. These usually can be found for less then $100/set on ebay. Last week a set got sold for 90.

    Marchal 652 and 653 spot / fog lights

    The lens makes the difference between fog or spot. Think the 653 has a yellow reflector (not a yellow lens) The 656 has a Yellow lens. To convert a 653 to 652 you'll need the silver reflector of a 652. The reflector holds the bulb. Spot Fog

    Fasteners for glasfibre body? (Windows)

    My side & rear is just fixed with small screws. No inserts or what so ever, just plain in the fibreglass. These windows don't need much torque to hold them in place.

    Best practices for keeping heat in header pipes?

    Hmm not sure about rattle can stuff from Eastwood. If its like their carb renew spray, It looks nice till you spill some fuel. This internal coating will only stick to a new and absolutely clean surface and and like most coatings the surface has to be roughened up otherwise it won't stick. The...

    Windscreen fitted

    It was my first task as i started with the spider, then doors, front clip & rear clip (as Mike Pass told me to do so in this sequence). I started with a 635mm GTD screen that came with my project. My spider was out of shape after 25 years of changing hands & storage. I had to heat up the roof...

    GT40 MK1 - looking for 3rd bake light mounting/location options - show yours

    Never had that issue driving a GT40 (or other classic car). People behave differend when they see a car thats not common. They mostly have a cellphone in their hand taking a picture of you so a third brakelight won't be noticed anyway. I drive classics everyday as I have nothing post '83. All...

    New build, cost is high, options are?

    As Stephen mentioned, Ford never had a MKII in Gulf livery. Somebody did do a Gulf inspired MK2 (Guess someone ordered it at Superperformance and its now for sale at Illinois Motors). A MKII in Gulf livery is not everybody's taste, for sure not mine, but thats my "personal" opinion.

    Does anyone here have an EV?

    Sort of, I do drive a Scania Hybrid. "If" it drives it very comfortable and silent. "If" means if it works at all. Loads of electrical issues as relays burn out very quick (700Volts, everything needed to run is relay powered.) Scania quickly stopped making them as they are very unreliable, and...
