Bill, I vented mine from the fulcrum plate. See posts 8 & 13 on this thread http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-powertrain-transaxles/30956-porsche-930-fluid-fill-inverted-applications.html Venting into the existing catch tank should be OK. Your old drain bung thread is M24x1.5

If the car keeps rolling over and moving the driver is likely to be less hurt than if he comes to a sudden stop against something solid from the same speed. Most rollovers tend to look spectacular though. A good roll cage is always a wise investment in cars like ours with flimsy roofs. Agree...

Dalton, yes 16" rears. The main reason for this is I have been using 15.0 - 26.0 x 15 F5000 tyres which I can get for nothing. They are meant to have minimum 15" wide rims but I have been squeezing them down onto my 14s. However my source of tyres is now using 16.2 - 26.0 x 15 and the minimum...

I'll think you'll find Paul Hawkins never raced with a ZF at all. If he did it was prior to Bernies arrival in Aug 1968. I thought the Fortification issues # 80 onwards that had the recollections of Bernie Mylon, comprehensively confirmed that Paul Hawkins DID use the Hewland. Bernie is...

Although AMGT2 was not strickly 'correct' (forgetting about the paint scheme for now) in its Paul Hawkins body as, in Paul Hawkins ownership, it was fitted with an LG600. The other body is maybe more correct with the ZF. Personally, if it was mine, I would have kept the Paul Hawkins body and...

<o:p></o:p> The blue car is definitely AMGT2 as owned by Jack Launtz. He posted some photos of it on this thread http://www.gt40s.com/forum/original-gt40s/24815-original-mkii-ex-alan-mann.html. User name "Driven" <o:p></o:p> Chris Melia owns the original alloy body work and is currently...

SFOS this season is highly unlikely Brian. Just too many things that are going to be painstakingly slow. First of these is that I have decided to make my own cast uprights for the rear. There are several reasons for this. Firstly the existing fabricated uprights both need major repair, this is...

Missing photos. I hope.....

Well the enthusiasm is rekindled and the rotisserie was built over the winter. I was fortunate to have most of the steel lying around. I got a pair of fwd Corolla rear hubs from a friendly wrecker for the table pivots. I had an old 351 flexplate and pinion that I am using to rotate it. I...

Looks good Ali. Does this mean everything is done and awaiting final assembly?

Posts 92 and 93 here :- http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/16138-kiwi-scratchbuilt-4.html Photos dont show it very clearly but firing orders 3-2... 4-1 8-5... 6-7 Has the benefit that you can remove the heads without removing the exhausts.

Now thats a wind up if ever I saw one :rolleyes:

Just updating since I have had several enquiries as to progress. Well not a lot of progress! During the month following that post, 22 Feb to be exact, Christchurch suffered another massive quake. Only a 6.3 this time but on a new fault line almost underneath the city and very shallow. It...

John, I used a similar mounting system on mine except fully solid mounted, bolted directly to the chassis. Worked well, no vibes, and held everything in shape rather well during inadvertant high speed crash testing at Levels. Plenty of photos of the plates on my build thread. Incidentally...

Wrong gear! You'd have had better luck if you'd used top..... It's all a matter of leverages (gear ratios)

Watch those front wheels pointing every which way. Guess its just as well he doesn't have to use one of his hands to change gears as well.

There are so many helping in so many different capacities and there is so much to be done that I would hesitate to single out any one group. In these initial stages Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) are doing a fantastic job. In difficult and dangerous circumstances they are locating and...

Thanks for your thoughts and best wishes guys. Just a quick note to say I'm OK. Been withiout power and other services until today. Power, water, waste water services all knocked out in my suburb of Woolston. Massive infrastructural damage. Epicentre was very close and the 6.3 caused much...

Russell, I presume you are doing that as a "Retrospective Special"? That's what I did with mine too. Dead easy, so long as the first iteration of any engine/trans part used was available on or before the date you want to represent, then it is fine. Because my 930 trans was first produced in...

Nice to see it running Chris. Can't wait to see you out there leading the pack!
