I found this today while looking for a technical discussion about the installation of saftey harnesses. May be of interest to some of the DIY guys. http://www.schrothracing.com/docs/Competition_Instructions.pdf Brian

I got mine used from the UK, and that's pretty much how I built my whole car, used stuff from the UK. I would suppose at this point that the GTD club guys can source just about anything required if you can' get it over here. I have attached a pic of my crossover and there is plenty of...

If I can get some company for the ride, I may try to swing down on the 12th. Brian

My research lead me to the 75W90NS Redline. Have not tried it yet but getting anxious to do so..... Brian

Now the juices are flowing! A tip we received at the PPG class was not to extract the air with a downstream fan, but to pressurize the booth with upstream fan(s). That way you are not sucking in every little piece of junk in the area, and the fans are not exposed to any fumes. The trick will...

This one if for the DIY guys out there. We will be spraying paint sometime this summer and have already taken the class that Mark Worthington set up at PPG a little while ago. What I am considering now is any advice that someone with experience may have with setting up a spray booth in a two car...

Fearing that I would not be able to push enough air through my stock GTD twin hatch to cool the rad, I had Bill Hough, "The Master of Fiberglass" cast an original twin deep nostril piece to graft on to my own. It's a real nice nice piece of work and looks like it will have maybe 6 times the...

If you use the rubber bushed engine mounts they will work with Roy's item, but if you upgrade to poly bushed mounts as I did, you may have to re-drill the mounts and dress them down a bit to provide clearance. I know it does not make sense, but that is what I had to do to get my motor down into...

I'd also like to consider a (reasonably priced) glass rear window for my GTD. Brian

I have a ClassicCars magazine on my bench from October of 2000 which says the three LeMans spec Gulf cars were the first to use carbon fiber in the manufacture of the bodies. They used it in strand form between the layers of glass fiber to reinforce the body panels which allowed them to be...

Agreed, if those spoilers are available, please provide details! Brian

As a follow up, I stumbled upon an MGB and liked the looks of the little square reversing lights they use, so I am going to give them go and hang them from the rear cross member. Brian

Eric, are you just inside the NY border? If so you may wish to catch up with the Boston area guys when we have a get together. Heck if you bring your car we'll have at least ONE running replica!!! It's taking us east coast guys a bit to catch up. Brian

When I started my GTD I bought a bare chassis and body from Ray on a credit card. Subsequent to paying that off I established a monthly budget and purchased parts as I could on that schedule. Guess we should should add that with the help of a very good friend I purchased what had to be every...

Randy, No need to box something like that. I sent a set to the UK last year via post office and there was no need to box the set, just taped em together and wrote destination on them with a marker. Brian

Scott, is that insulation on your bulkhead panel? If so could you tell us what you are using? I have Dynamat around the tub and footwell but don't want to expose the material to the engine heat on that panel as I am sure the rubber backing will melt into a horrible black goo. Keep up the...

There are at least two GTD with LHD left hand shift that I know of and one of them is mine. I decided to go that route in order to give more room in the cockpit and make installation of the shifter basically a straight shot. Yes it's only a few inches of seat width, but when you are spatially...

I'm all set now, I'll very likely use the ovals or the ones that Charlie was so kind to post a link to. Brian

Thanks for the ideas guys, much appreciated. Brian

I need a reverse light, also called back up light(s) to get an inspection sticker on my car. Has anyone found a nice little light to suit these requirements when necessary? Has to be white, and I'd prefer it not be an L.E.D. style Have spent a bunch of time on the tube this morning and the...
