No good for racing, but to disable the car quickly and easily, mine's hidden in the centre console. Dual pole type that DOES kill the engine, if it's running.

I've have seen Richard's set up Dave. It's funny how hard some things are to find. After talking to him, I was looking for early Commodore latches, but do you think I could find them? I thought there'd be thousands around, but they were all the wrong type or just not available. Amazing! Anyway...

Thanks for the ideas chaps. As it turns out, I've decided to go with the latch arrangement as shown in the posted image. I've hunted around and have managed to find a set of latches that suit my needs. They're off an Honda Legend of around mid 90's vintage. They're fairly small and, for some...

I'll be installing three clip latches on my car. Two for the rear clip, as in the attached image and incorporating work lights, and one for the front clip. I'm hunting around for suitable latches now but, to save some time, could other forum members advise me on what latches / source cars they...

Very well done. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh one day. All the best, Lance

Peter, Thanks for your comments. Yes, it is moving along, although still a lot of things to sort out. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think. I’m sorry to hear about your having to do the body preparation again. It must be annoying. Your comment about the flat areas is a...

The interior is coming together now. Final wiring going in. I'll be able to turn on lights, etc soon. A quick check of vent air flows and, if all OK, then I'll be able to get the dash, seats and door inners upholstered. Lance

6'4" No Gurney Bubble. Front Bulkhead located further forward. I fit fine. Just like a glove, but it was made to measure! Lance

I bought an electric horn, rated at 121dB, as I remember. The loudest of the ones I looked at, but they were all within a few dB of each other. I mounted it as far forward as possible, in an opening, so that the maximum sound went at whatever needed to get out of the way. Since the photo, I've...

Doug, Probably not what you have in mind, but this is what mine looks like. The Toyota Crown pulleys have some advantages over the Soarer arrangement. We didn't ditch the power steering pump, but gutted it and converted it into a layshaft for the dry sump pump. I'd be interested to have a...

Valid points. My intent is as shown on the attached sketch, which I drew to do the fittings take-off. Item 8 is a solenoid that will direct the return fuel flow to the tank / pump being used. It has been suggested that I could use it to transfer fuel between tanks, but I can't see the use and...

I'm having trouble locating a couple of switches for my GT40 and I'm hoping someone happens to know of a couple that would suit my use. Both switches are rotary switches to suit 12V electrics, so nothing exceptional required. The functionality is the problem. One switch is to select the...

The Holden part number for this item is 92159797. Lance

Thanks for your kind comments Jack. Yes, I love the look too. I do plan on licensing it and then running it for about 12 months before I finally paint it. Maybe just a flash coat to make it all one colour. I’ve seen fresh fiberglass spalling off due to heat (I’ve heard of pieces as large as 5c...

We've just had a long weekend here in Western Australia. Each year, on this weekend, the Vintage Sports Car Club of Western Australia holds an around-the-houses event and hillclimbs at the very pleasant south coast town of Albany here in Western Australia. I can thoroughly recommend it. A very...

I picked up the oil tank from the fabricator today. It looks great, so had to post a couple of photos. It sits alongside the alloy water header tank and will really look the business. A lot of work going on with the car just now. Air con lines have been run, seats being finally mounted, so...

Further to my original query, the outcome of the fuel pump study is that the pump shown in the attached photos is now being used by GMH here. Apparently, there have been many warranty claims (not a Ford problem, for some reason) and this is the solution. I don't know if it's right, wrong or...

Re: Chassis #64 due in July Congratulations Dave. 8 months. I'm impressed. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Well done. Lance

I'm 6'4" and (too) solid. The front bulkhead on my DRB has been moved forward about 6" and I've lowered the seat / floor down flush with the underside of the chassis floor pan. The seat has been modified extensively to suit me and make sure it's as far back in the cabin as possible. I fit...

The hoist belongs to the chap working on my car. It's a nice bit of kit. It looks like a pallet trolley, runs off mains power and will lift the car off the ground to over head height, or anywhere in between. No powered travel. Not required with no load and too heavy to move with a load...
