    Jonathans RCR 40 Build

    I found some aircraft latches that are similare to the Hartwell latches but much cheaper. They are a little narrower than the pockets on my car. Since I have already painted I will probably fill the gaps with some aluminum spacers. These latches are only $50 a piece. They will require some...

    Old Roaring Forties Windup and Distribution?

    I am still going back and forth with C&L. They say it was sent but my bank account did not receive it. I am waiting for more information from C&L to see where the money went.

    I'm suprised you feel the need to outsource the last steps. Your work looks outstanding so far.

    It is a shame they did not just mail the check since the letter beat the wire transfer.

    Old Roaring Forties Windup and Distribution?

    I got a letter yesterday saying they wired the money to me on the 4th but I still have not seen it. I think my wire must be on a slow boat from Australia.

    Convert MKII into MKI ?

    I put BRMs on my GT 40 because I got tired of scraping my knuckles on the Halibrands on my Cobra. The BRMs are way easier to keep clean.

    Convert MKII into MKI ?

    The differences on the front clip are small enough you may only want to change the rear clip. It will still be expensive. The rear clips are pretty hard to make.

    I had to use a lot of shims. I used a stack of washers as much as a half inch thick.

    Holley Problems

    Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me!!! My disappointment with Holley continues. All I could get locally was another Holley. I put it on and neither accelerator pump worked. They either over-torqued the pump nozzle screws or used a screw that was too long. Either way it...

    Holley Problems

    I do not think this was a condensation issue. The plating failed everywhere in the bowl. Even above the fuel level. If it was water I would expect it only on the bottom. I think it is bad prep on the metal before the plating.

    Holley Problems

    I have a new Holley 4150 on my GT40. The engine was acting up like the jets were fouled. When I cracked open the carb the plating on the inside of the bowls was pealing off like a bad paint job and the metal underneath was oxidizing and filling the bowl with sand like oxide. It is well out of...

    Garage Flooring

    Don't cheap out and use the Rustolium stuff at Home Depot. There is a reason it is so much cheaper than the good stuff.

    what 5 speed to use in rear engine car? Audi 016 upside down ?

    I would guess that it could be done. You would be on your own for the adaptor plate. What motor are you trying to adapt to?

    what 5 speed to use in rear engine car? Audi 016 upside down ?

    For a mid mounted, normal rotation engine you do not invert an 016 transaxle. You run it in the normal orientation. You normally only invert the Porshe boxes because they are designed for rear rather than mid engine.

    Chuck and Ryan's RCR Build

    I cut all 3 NACA vents open on my car. I did not put a filler on the back side of any of them. In all three cases water intrusion is not an issue because the other side of the vent is not in a dry area anyway. the only down side of not having a filler is if you stand in just the right place...

    Where to drill bleed points in inlet manifold?

    If your manifold is like mine you will need to drill two holes, one for each head. To do this you will need to pull the intake to make sure you it the coolant port in the head. This photo may help:

    I'm betting on between 1 and 2 cents on the dollar.

    The phone, fax, and email domain all match their web site contact information. CJL Partners -Contact Us I guess email domains can be faked so you could always stick to faxing to be safe or call them first.
