    RCR40 Shifter w/ZF 5D-25-2

    I have a Quaife QBE62G transaxle and the RCR 5-DS-25 ZF shifter. I can’t figure out how the cable brackets are attached to the transaxle (or if they are even the correct pieces). The bosses on the transaxle do not seem to match the brackets. The instructions are for a ZF. Are there Quaife...

    Electric or mechanical water pump?

    I think I just got lucky with the price because the packaging was damaged. I would not take a chance on non-OEM.

    Scam attempt with an unfinished kit?

    On this forum, most of the posts for sale of a partially completed kit describe everything the builder has done. I would stay away if the seller isn’t willing to post the details.

    RCR40 GT40 MKI Build in Wisconsin

    I stopped by RCR last week and chatted with both Fran and Bill. It was clear to me that they are just as frustrated, if not more so than we are, by the constant battle with suppliers. They are making more and more parts in house to address the issues with the steering rack being the most recent...

    Who's attending the 2024 GT reunion?

    Don, it was good to meet a fellow Cen-Texan at the reunion. Hope we can meet up sometime after I get back to Austin. Cheers, Randy

    Rear Clam Shell slam catches

    Thx much for sharing. I found these on Summit. Wish they were billet aluminum, but I can work with chrome. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sdk-d1zz-16896/make/ford/model/mustang

    Electric or mechanical water pump?

    Paul, I got the 400 because it has double the capacity of the 200 which it replaced and the mounting bosses are better situated. I just learned that if you get a 400 it will need to be an older model (eBay or a junk yard). According to Tecomotive, the newer models are not compatible with PWA...

    Electric or mechanical water pump?

    Paul, Thx for the guidance. I don’t quite understand the connection between the overflow tank and the suction side of the pump. I am guessing there needs to be a way to ensure that it doesn’t cause too much coolant to bypass the radiator loop. Cheers, Randy

    Rear Clam Shell slam catches

    I was thinking cable operated slam catches, then I thought, ‘what if there’s an engine fire? Can I trust a cable system?’ I’m leaning towards the XY GT style bonnet pins. They seem to be about as easy to release as hood pins and have a clean look. While I like a period correct look, I am not...

    Randy's RCR40 MKI

    I decided to cut my travels short and postpone the west coast portion until the fall. Too hot and too many fires. I had a great time at the GT40 Reunion despite it being more of a Superformance showcase. Met up with some fellow builders and learned a lot. The reunion was actually a part of...

    Randy's RCR40 MKI

    Ben, It’s worth the wait. 16 months is a bit longer than usual. Are you having RCR do some of the work? It would be a shame to wait that long and then sell it. But you are correct about selling it. You could likely recoup all your money if you sold it immediately. Any work you do on it will...

    Which GT40 to Buy?

    The ‘best’ depends more on you than the source. Before deciding you have to take into account your skill set, how much you are willing to spend, time available, etc. They range from a pile of tubes to rollers to nearly completed builds. It also depends on how ‘authentic’. Keep in mind that...

    Electric or mechanical water pump?

    Neil, I think your description matches up nicely with the Tecomotive. It uses a short temp history to proactively reduce flow if the temp is dropping and increase flow if rising. I plan to wire it such that it will continue to operate after the ignition is turned off. Same circuit as the...

    Neil, thx for the input. Which PID controller do you recommend? Cheers, Randy

    Electric or mechanical water pump?

    Pat, I have a very similar engine from Prestige. I plan to go with a Pierburg 400 electric water pump and the Tiny CWA controller from Tecomotive. Links below. Howard recommended placing the pump as low as possible and as close to the engine as possible. I am going mount it inside the tub...

    Randy's RCR40 MKI

    Thx for the clarification. Yes, the rocker panels will likely be as far back as they will go.
