I don't think you would be able to mount the main rollbar that way these days. I think there is some shit presently going down about the original roll bars that are still in some historic cars. You could always email MSNZ Tech to check if it would comply. MSNZ have a standard spec that you...

Assuming 3.444 and 0.87 then 259.4, 249.8, 240.2 Theres a gear calculator you can download on here somewhere......... Edit. Found it for you in this thread below http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-powertrain-transaxles/30313-gear-ratio-calculator.html

Hi Terry, I just used the non-structural pop rivet. It's main function in my build is to hold the panel until the adhesive cures. As a matter of interest my rear bulkhead panel is attached to the roll bar. MSNZ will not entertain holes drilled into the roll protection structure so in this...

Yeah, I'll have a go Bill! Depends on the size of the battery!!!!!!:lipsrsealed: More specifically, if you're running an Odyssey PC680 as I am, rated at 17 amphours then approx 2½ hours. If you've gone for more capacity say a PC925 rated at 28 amphours then about 4 hours. But without knowing...

Terry, I think you've analysed the situation rather well. This is the same conclusion I came to when determining levels to run in my trans. As you say the big caveat is the cooling, not the lubrication. If you've got a cooler I'm sure that oil level is fine. My dynamic oil level is at about...

Terry, If the circular arrow is the direction of rotation of the ring gear, then you've got it wrong in the inverted GT40 position. Not sure how that translates into the mirror image photo though. I think its wrong in both of them in respect of the way the oil from the oilbath is being thrown...

I tend also not to change my vehicles very frequently. 20 years ago I bought an immaculate 1972 3.5 four speed 2door Rangie. Sherwood green. Only drawback was no power steer which made it almost impossible to back trailers, so I bit the bullet and spent a couple of grand on some power steer...

Dalton an even sadder thread would be cars that we shouldn't have sold that are now worth a fortune! Not this lemon here though. Thankfully I never owned it but my father had an Austin Kimberly. Made in Aussie and the biggest piece of shit this side of the Black Stump. Total terminal...

Good to have you on board Steve. Where abouts are you? Not sure whether you've found these yet or not but we've got a few NZers on here doing McLarens. A couple of Leons, Leonmac in the NI doing an M20 and Haroo in the SI has an M6GT under construction. Also russell k has recently finished...

Don't forget Bruce had an engineering degree so was streets ahead of most of us to start with. I'm picking everything would have been backed up by calculations and I would venture that he would be more likely to be quizzing someone in the aviation industry rather than his local hardware store...

Leon, The Plexus is doable. The main issue with the working time is that if you spend too long fastening one panel the glue will go off in the special mixer nozzle on the gun before you move onto the next panel. Thus you need plenty of mixer nozzles. Of course you waste all the product in the...

DUH!!! :o Fat finger and brain dead! :furious: If Ron sees it he might fix it, but I wont bother PMing him he's got enough to do.

Just came across this. Absolutely fascinating story with lots of great pics. 1965 Sebring 12-Hour Grand Prix of Endurance - Race Profile

If you look at my build log, post #162 photos, there are two ports on the sideplate. The lower is the scavenge to the pump, upper is the return from the filter housing oil relief. The oil level is approx midpoint between. There is a hole about an inch square cast into the very bottom of the...

Ron, I am running a heat exchanger in the bottom hose along with pump and filter and as Jac Mac noted a spray bar also. Personally it is my view with a cooled trans that the amount of oil is not that critical unless it is grossly excessive, because when the trans is running the oil is...

Re: 3 piece 17\" wheel for sale archie, I have to respectfully disagree with you there. At sill top level on a GT40 such anti-intrusion devices would be very effective, and solid, if they were mounted correctly. It is really a matter of preventing a competitors wheel being caught up in...

Patronising, nah. Insensitive, uncouth, opinionated, Ozphobe? For sure....

Get real Mike. There are ways of letting a team mate through that would not show up on the telemetry as alluded to at the end of my previous post. If you want to watch real racing, the odd bit I have seen of GP2 seems to be pretty good! There is too much money/advertising at stake in F1...

What I am saying is at that level with so much at stake, there is bound to be an analysis of the costs of breaking/bending a rule in comparison to the advantages accrued. Particularly taking into account the effect of likely penalties imposed as a result of being found out. I think everything...

As long as we have two car teams, at times when it is deemed advantageous to the team results, there WILL be team orders, whether delivered blatantly as Ferrari seem to do or whether hidden in a pre arranged code. It's a stupid rule that will never change the reality. Get over it. :shrug:
