    Knock On Wheels experience

    Phil, thx a lot for the input. so .750 would be O.K on the front but I have doubts for the back. So I check all measurements and make sure he gets the right wheels...

    Guys, they guy that bought by Tornado is looking for some upgrades. He wants some knock on 15" wheels from vintage wheels and perhaps aluminum uprights that can carry a 6pot break caliper. My question is, who is using such a combo and how does it look on the car? Currently I don't...

    Tornado Build - www.gt40builder.com

    Hi Tom, NO, on a Tornado this space is pretty much unused So I placed, Catch Tank, Armtech Battery Isolator, Fuelpump, pre-pump Fuel Filter, Starter Relay, and some other stuff there. If you cover the engine compartment from below it also stays quite dry, but I agree this is not the place to...

    Cylinder Head Gasket ..anyone experience with copper ?

    Mike, agreed. THe machine shop should know ( at least that was my impression until today ) what they are talking about, they do engines sizing from Smart ( the car :-) ) up to engines for big ships. So are doing a lot of stuff for motorsports and are the preferred partner from Toyota here in...

    Tornado Build - www.gt40builder.com

    Trev, as always,great work. However, I would not close that are without thinking about an access panel, on both sides of the car. This is the area where I stored a lot of stuff, like fuel pump, Armtech Battery CutOff, Catchtank, Starter Relay and so on...Also If I would do the build again, I...
