Hi All, Most will have seen my post regarding my breakage of the clutch release shaft on my 40 a few weeks back I have obtained a replacement shaft, but am still looking for a clutch release lever. For my application it must be one like either of the two in the pictures below. Thanks to...

I originally had fuel vapourisation issues when driving slowly on very hot days. Did very similar to what has been suggested above. i.e. installed a high volume fan to blow cool air around the engine. Turned on by a switch mounted behind my right shoulder on the bulkhead. Have not had an...

Thank you both. I shall follow those up.

Hi All, I'm after a clutch release lever for a DS25-0 or DS25-1, as in the attached picture. Anyone have one? Thanks in advance.

My 1996 copy is blue.

Hi Andy. I have one coming that is supposedly like that, but have not seen a picture at this stage. Fingers crossed.

Laid the blame in the wrong place. Slave cylinder was not the initial fault. Rather, the clutch release shaft let go. Took the slave cylinder piston, push rod and clutch release lever with it though. Fortunately, I have been offered replacement parts by various people (a huge thanks to...

Fantastic.

Weather has not been kind, and clutch slave cylinder let go near the end of day 2. Limped back to Te Anau and now waiting on a trailer to get the car back to Dunedin. Still, it was huge fun while it lasted.

Hard to believe it's a year since the last Avid road trip, but we embark on the Avid 2000 this morning. Fingers crossed the car behaves we'll and the weather gods are kind.

Haven't received my copy yet. Before anyone points out the error, the editor has already apologised to me for getting my name wrong.

Possibly not a lot of use to you, but here are some pics of mine.

RIP John.

Best of luck with the sale. Sorry to hear about health issues. A real shame you will not finish the car.

The parts in the diagram above are metal on the original monos Ryan. The fibreglass side sills finish below the line indicated by "A". However, I take your point regarding fibreglass spiders/roof sections.

My mono is a CCD done to original dimensions. As you can hopefully see in the below photos the part of the mono you indicate slopes out very slightly from bottom to top. Distance A is 1670mm; distance B is 1682mm. Hope that helps.

Hang in there John.

Congratulations and thanks Ron. I think I was the 18th member to join. It's been an invaluable resource through the years.

Yes - install a decent fire suppression system, with nozzles in the cockpit and engine bay and hope like hell you never have to use it.

I looked at the car a few times when it was still here in NZ, and talked a number of times with the owner. Even pointed him in the right direction a couple of times when tracking down such things as decals and so forth. Gave him a copy of the 1966 Le Mans soundtrack LP to go with the car. I'm...
