Sorry guys, typo. The two gears are 30/22 and 31/22.

Wanted secondhand. Either a 30/22 (.73) or 31/21 (.71) 4th gearset for a 930 syncro transaxle. Thanks, Russ

It's a fairy tale.....Don't you Yanks have bedtime stories?.....Its the perfect fairy tale ending..... Everyone except the Ozzies live happily ever after.....

Kia Ora you fullahs (and gidday dingos) Three Australians and three Maori's are travelling by train to a Rugby match at the World Cup in England . At the station, the three Aussies each buy a ticket and watch as the three Kiwis buy just one ticket between them. "How are the three of you going...

Thanks Trevor, it never even occured to me that the mfrs would have a recommended temp. I've never heard anyone refer to it, but it stands to reason. I have just been using temps as a means of getting the most suitable camber and tyre pressure to get even temps across each tyre. Early days in...

Trevor, Thanks for the comments. I don't have the temperature data with me at present but I'm pretty sure the Dunlops were up to temp. For most of the warm up lap it would break into wheelspin when it came on the cam in 2nd gear. That doesn't happen once they get some heat in them and never...

Well the racing season is over and the last nine months have been a pretty frenetic time of prepare, repair, and alter setup. Now I have until the first club meeting of the new season, 1st August, to make a whole raft of improvements, some minor, some major, that will lead to better lap times...

No doubt it is covered in the regs, but does anyone know at what point an assembly of spare parts is deemed to be a spare car?

Looking good Leon. That's one helluva project you've embarked on. I shall be interested to see the wheels when you put the pics up. Cheers, Russ

Jeez Jac Mac, I really feel for you. :bigcry: Some women are just bloody useless. You should get rid of her.....:devil: :idea: Send her up here....:love:

So the Daytona buck is now in the garage under the house? So Donna can work on it? She'll be pleased.... I think all that speil about making room for the Mk IV was just a red herring.... Workshop's gonna be a bit draughty this winter, init......!!??

John Iles would be a pretty patient guy if he's been waiting since last year for these answers ;) :shrug:

Good luck Gary. At least you have some idea of what you're getting yourself in to..... Unless you're in the multi-millionaire category, one's own business is never conducive to car building or other projects! You hit the nail on the head with your time/money analysis. Oh to live somewhere...

Steve, car origins here http://www.gt40s.com/forum/introduce-yourself-here/29079-greetings-wellington-new-zealand.html Also post #6 above on this thread.... The search function is your friend, as is a little bit of diligent research. If you are going to build a 917 from scratch you will soon...

Charlie, thanks for the photo and all the other details. :thumbsup:

Ah Terry, anything is possible. Remove the fulcrum plate, and the lever engagement slots on the selector rods are right there, you just have to make up the mechanism to engage and operate them through this hole. Not too difficult I would think, just a lever with a ball pivot as in any other...

Pete, right now I could do with boring!:eek:

I've been doing a bit of digging around the net, but found this on our very own forum. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-chassis-brakes-tires-wheels/17013-uprights-needed.html Can someone tell me whether the uprights shown by BillE in posts 18 and 22 are the (presumably) readily available...

Yeah, but they wouldn't be caves filled with carbon monoxide and carcinogens like we've got now.......;)
