    Thinking of selling CAV GT40

    What update did you do for the AC? I have a leak somewhere that is proving to be a real pain to isolate!

    A few hundred yards...

    Mike, I am also a dual citizen, I agree it is a very saddening event. I remember Dunblane (1996), I moved to California at the end of 2000. Each of these are horrific events with multiple contributing factors. Luckily, they are a rarity in Britain. Unfortunately, I feel a lot of people have...

    A few hundred yards...

    The worst mass shooting in Britain in over ten years. A shooter shot five people including a three year old girl. A very rare occurrence, thankfully, in Britain.

    AC Hose Crimper

    I bought a Mophorn hydraulic crimper on Amazon. This looks just the same, but a cheaper price than I paid. They work great...

    Covid19 vaccine- report your progress

    No vaccine is 100% effective. They were also created for a specific variant. This looks like it is also very effective against other variants, except the South African variant seems to be reducing the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine, presumably others too. The longer the virus circulates and the...

    Covid19 vaccine- report your progress

    First shot was Sunday with Moderna. Slight aching arm for a day. I have to say, getting the shot feels like a weight lifted. I have been careful to wear my mask and socially distance (it is the least I can do for anyone I might come into contact with). But it does feel like light at the end of a...

    New CAV owner

    I saw that one on BAT. I would suggest looking at the fuel tanks since they are old. CAV has aluminum ones available. I have #53. The parking brake is terrible on these. I am working on putting on different calipers. The lights are also terrible, but it is a very easy change to move to LEDs. Use...

    Hi Stan, 351w stroked to 427, supposed to be 550hp and I have no reason to doubt it!!! RBT transaxle. I am not that much of a heavy foot, especially from go, although it has been two years since I did the replacement. I would suggest starting with this and going form there.... Regards, Karl

    REPLACING CAV REAR HALF SHAFT HELP

    I went through this just a couple of years ago. They are Audi 5000 or SAAB 9000 without ABS. For the inner CVs I got some decent Porsche 930 CVs. I would have liked something better for the stub axles, but they are working fine so far. The big nut holding the stub axle on took some moving, but...

    Coronavirus - Excellent Data-Based Analysis

    I was recently intrigued to see how well the US is doing. I am a British expat (20 years). I decided to look by capita as opposed to exact numbers. It is not soooo easy to find. The population of the states is ~5 times that of the UK. When you look at in that perspective we are a LONG way...

    Coronavirus - Excellent Data-Based Analysis

    Yep, the message needs to be turned around that it is not about "you" being healthy by wearing a mask, but you need to do it for others. Are you comfortable with putting high risk people at risk of death by not wearing a simple mask. If the messaging pushes people to do it for themselves, there...

    Most Common Mistakes - New GT40 Owner

    Some very good suggestions in this thread. Looks like you have LED lights taken care of. That was a great change for me. I would also suggest 3M crystalline film on the windshield to reduce the heat, it works fantastic. Another thing is rain-x in case you get caught in a shower. My wipers aren't...

    Coronavirus - Excellent Data-Based Analysis

    Fascinating read. The only true way to make informed decisions is to look at the numbers and look at what has already transpired. This is exactly what I see with this article. Panic doesn't help, but neither does burying your head in the sand. Objective analysis and action is what is required...

    LED headlights

    I left the existing lights but switched the bulbs to LEDs, headlights and rear lights. One of the easiest and best changes I have made. Very much night and day. I almost hit a black pig at 70mph in the dark (one or two inches off!). That was a big driver to find a solution. It ended up being a...
