Nice find Seems like fairly wide valve clearances,

That inner cv should come off, as you are having trouble getting it off it must be a tight fit in the flange, they make them close so it centers out in the flange. You need to get a brass or alloy drift and a fair size hammer with a little weight behind it. Hit it on the edge of the CV joint...

thanks Leon. I here you Leon you just get to a point it aint worth it. Been a Mechanic for 40 years and my own business for 32 and I am done. Part mental part body is packing in. A change can save you I recon. Jim

Rod I sleep like a log, but I have a built in clock that wakes me at 4-5am so I use it to my advantage. I can get 2-3 hours done every morning when I am on a project, that's how I smash though it. Jim

Thanks gents. Jimmy years ago we were bantering back and forth and you said you had a 206 engine. To be honest I thought you were pulling my chain but not so. They are sort after as they are getting rare, as expected. You will get good money for it. Jim

I will build an alloy body for it, I have patterns for profiles. Jim

Yeh never thought of that mike my fault. 206sp dino 66 ferrari

Its an ABS sensor, its part of the wheel bearing, I dont need it but it can be used for launch control and a speedo if required. Jim

steering rack I decided on Strange engineering 12:1 ,they use them in sand buggy's and drag rails. I will be extending the end by using a linier pillow block 106mm long mounted to the front .the rack will have some form of link to a hardened shaft 20mm dia. The brackets the rack is mounted...

The steering arm is crome moly sheet. I printed out the panels and glued to the sheet then cut to get them all the same. I had worked out through susprog 3 where the arm needed to be. I then freehanded the first one at the correct location. I then made a jig that it fitted into but...

the upper arm is split with a clevis. All the camber caster is adjusted off the top arm. Again brackets are removable and bolts pass in the vertical direction. The reason for this was mainly to keep the joints in compression and contraction when loaded. The front upper joint is in a...

The front I wanted removable brackets so that I have the flexibility to change roll centers further than the bracket allows by replacing it with another. The lower arm inner joints are a fixed position, they go into a very simple jig which is a piece of ply with 3 holes drilled in the correct...

Thanks Leon, checked your gearbox out today looks good. I placed the wheel and Tyre in the location and just start making links. I have 2 lower laterals with a diagonal. I upper lat and a trailing link. The original cars had very much a gt40 set up with long trailing links. I want to get away...

Does not feel like a lot considering the time that has lapsed but a lot of things came up over the last few months and it took me away from this project. Over the last few weeks I got some done on the suspension. The first thing made was the body profiles that sit directly above the axle...

I was at that meeting car # 40 is mine. Jim

I used a ford modular eng ,predecessor to the coyote. Best thing I did ,I havent lifted a spanner to it and I have done lots of track miles. Jim

Well done Ben. Your top gear cable bracket you will bend that over time. If you weld a 45 deg piece in the corners it will be light but strong. Even if they are just fused in if you have a tig. Doing a great job. Jim

The 01e shifter is on the left as well. The shaft you can bring it out on the R/H side. 16mm ss rod, I remade the housing on the left side. Again lathe required. If its on the L/H side all the more reason to run cables. Jim

I made my own shifter and mechanism at the gearbox for cable shifter 01e. It worked perfect straight away. I just had cables made to suit. Between working designing /manufacturing and fitting it would have been 40 hours in it. You will need a lathe and a welder, I can take a photo of it...
