Mike my engine had 5000 miles when I had to rebuild it totally... Roush installed a distributor gear that was not compatible with the camshaft. So I had debris of camshaft gear everywhere in the engine (while driving the engine shut off suddenly and impossible of course to restart it as my...

Mike, you're right there are 2 bolts that hold the rotor to the hub but there are too 2 little Allen bolts (bad quality that I changed by stronger ones) that hold the wheels bearings on each wheel. You'll discover that when you'll disassembly yours. But you'll need a press tool (I don't know if...

Hi Mike, Why do you need to add spacers ? I've seen that you have AVON CR6ZZ but in which size ? 295 ? 275 ? (I think it's 295 as recommended by SPF). On my MKII I have 295 and no problem whereas SPF suggests 275 (I have no spacers). Is it possible to know what you plan to do on your...

Hi Dave, Alan, @Dave: Many Thanks for the info and for the bearings references. Concerning the M/C many friends of mine who own Cobra have M/C leaks and the manufacturer is always Wilwood. Of course on Cobra the M/C are closed to the headers that may destroy quicker the inner gaskets/parts of...

Alan, that's not a problem for me to disassemble the front or the rear bearings... I have a big press tool and have done it already 3 times. OliveR

Thank you very much Alan.. I have lots of reading with that interesting post... OliveR

You're right Pilou, GT40P/1040 is 15 miles far away from my house.... I'll call the chief mechanic. Thanks, OliveR

Thanks for the info about the modifications of the rear upright / spacer but it would be easier for me to replace the wheel bearings. I would need to find a specialist her ein France to apply that modiciations and it won't be easy... OliveR

Alan, Tim, I get my car one year ago (October, 29) the day of my birthday (40 years old - what could I better expect for my gift ???). I drove it 4300 miles this year and today the car has 8000 miles. I think the brakes and clutch fluids have never been replaced nor the master cylinders. I'm...

Well I've played the contorsionist this morning but I'm happy ! I turned the cross shaft in order to be able to install the remote cable adjuster (when I'll receive it) and when reinstalling the cross shaft in the pedal I found that it was a little bit hard to insert it meaning that the cross...

Tim, I'm sure I've well connected the brake lines to the correct master cylinders BUT the bias bar setting is not correct. As Im' going to install a remote bias bar adjuster I'll need to turn the bar. I currently cannot install the adapter cable because it will touch the clutch pedal. As Alan...

Tim... That's a good question !!! I'm wondering now when I disassembled the pedal box and the master cylinders if the brake lines were logically in front of their master cylinders (Front brake line connected to the center master cylinder and Rear brake line connected to the right master...

Thanks for your reply Alan. Just for info my car is a RHD GT40. So the brake lines are not in the same position that a LHD GT40. My master cylinder for front brakes is the one at the center (of the 3 master cylinders) meaning that the master cylinder for rear brakes is on the right. Following...

Hi Dave, Alan, Here is a picture of my pedal box where you can see the lock nuts and the pin locks on both side of the cross shaft. I've removed the pin locks and started to turn the cross shaft in order to move the cross shaft on the right and tested it on the road but it's the same...

Hi FourtyMans, I know Pilouleshublots, if you have a question about GT40, that's for him, he's the French GT40 bible !! From my side I live in Toulouse but come every week in Paris for my job. I own GT40P/2193, an SPF with Roush engine (see pictures below). When I bought it: After...

Michel, Alan posted in May 2010 the solution he had installed in his car. CNC, Inc. - Accessories Alan, I suppose the adaptor on the cable fits perfectly on the cross shaft ? OliveR

Alan, Dave, I have lock nuts on each side of the cross shaft. Moreover the lock nuts and the cross shaft have been drilled in order to insert pin locks !! That's why when reinstalling the system I didn't have any choices for the cross shaft position as holes have only one position for my lock...

Alan, Dave, I didn't know that I could access the pedal box after removing the AC Box ... I'll try it next time or if I couln't adjust the cross shaft from inside the car. Thanks again, OliveR

Bonsoir Michel et un Grand Merci pour toutes ces explications, c'est très clair et ça va sérieusement m'aider pour le réglage de ma répartition AV / AR. Je t'avais envoyé il y a quelques mois un mail en me présentant, je ne sais pas si tu l'avais reçu ou non ?? Je vais m'occuper de ma...

Dave, Alan, I have lock nut + pin lock on both side of the cross shaft. I'll make pictures to show you how the initial assembly have been upgraded (I've read Alan's links web pages) on my car. The only mistake I've done when reassembling this system is that I've installed the ball in the...
