    Tyre width.

    Paul-Here is one person's opinion. There is no simple answer. A number of factors come into play. Horsepower and torque, street only or street/some track time, weight, cost, how many miles to be driven per year, personal driving style. I run a 295/50 on the rear of my 40, with a 245/50...

    'Horse shoe' stickers

    Re: \'Horse shoe\' stickers Fred-I have two of the plastic Gulf horse shoes in original packages in my GT40 collection. If you are unable to locate decals, let me know and I will try to send you a digital picture that you can try to have reproduced. Jack

    PEDAL BOX

    Dick-Suggestion: find someone with a top mounted pedal box in their GT40, try it out, and see if you like it better. It's your car, if something feels weird, change it. Jack

    Wheels for GT40

    Jon-Each wheel manufacturer should be able to provide specifics, but aside from the wheels, which should be almost identical, I think the pin drive set-up is probably just a bit heavier due to the large threaded sleeve, spinner and pins, versus wheel lugs and nuts. The difference is probably...

    Wheels for GT40

    Dave-The wheels may fit, but tha backspacing may not be what you need. You might check out PS Engineering wheels in California. Phil Schmidt makes the Halibrand style in bolt-on and pin drive, with whatever offset you need. I have a set on my 40, and they are excellent wheels. Mine are...

    Louvered Panel Over Exhaust

    Mark-I have never seen a "kit" for the sill stripes. I have black and white "FORD" vinyl decals of the correct size and shape. The stripes are 1/2" and 1-1/2" wide vinyl tape, with 1/2" spacing between the stripes. I am not aware of any "FORD GT" decals available, although there may be a kit...
