Most of these caps has the 450sm letters in the casting. God knows how many times they have been copied

Been busy on other stuff (i guess its called life) lately. Finished the mk1 rear subframe with oil cooler du ting, just some small brackets for the coolers left. Also had a go at the mk2 version. Based on the assumptions that the lower profiles are horizontal and the pivot points are on the...

Probably quite a few in here... Try to search for GTD This is a kit car, so the parts you have under your dash might not be part of the standard equipment. Might have been added during the initial build or by someone at a later stage. The triangle knob is probably warning lights. You just have...

Nice. Remember to read through the bickford book for bolted joints before tightening the bolts...

Seems like 8-9mm in front of the edge to the pivot axis on some data i have here.

Have a look in the historic Fia appendix j documents. Most of the interior/seating dimensions is given there

This is roughly how it looks on the original lockout. There is a spring going into that washer which is not shown...

@oldschooldasy ?

Under the yoke you should have a ring, looks like a flanged collar (pn gt40p/7/5262) Between that spacer/collar thing and the hub the drawing calls for gt40p/5/4520-4534 "to suit", so that would be your shim. The drawing says to tighten the nut to 160ft.lbs. Does not answer your question with...

Im pretty sure that neither gox or gelscoe get their hubs from those people.... Those who run bolt on adapters is a different story

The PCD on original wheels are 6 x 4,25". The problem as you probably have realised is that nothing else (from what i have found) use this bolt pattern. So you either have to modify standard hubs, machine from scratch or buy custom hubs. AK sportcars (SGT) replicas has been delivered with the...

What you are doing now is the definition of making compromises. Your camber is depending on how much body roll, jacking, rollbar (if you plan to run one), spring rates, tire width+wall heigh, what surface you drive on etc. If you have very little bodyroll during cornering you wont need that much...

Thanks @oldschooldasy Yeah the lack of drawings will always be an issue. Lately I have been able to view a few more of the prints which is not "open to public" and honestly, they are in such a bad condition that they hardly give any more decent information that is usable. When stuff is put...

@Jan De Coster i believe some of these prints was included in the gt40 uncovered book?

The chaps on this forum uses mostly body parts (imperial system) as a unit for measure. It is in inches

I believe there is a manual on some lotus page, believe you will find it easy on google. In my opinion; The cost of the zf boxes has skyrocketed. Unless you are aiming for a fia htp build or something really period correct i would look at something else. Honestly, why break the bank on a period...

The g86/g87, not sure about difference between them... If you look into the Porsche parts fiche i recall that quite a few parts had vag 0a2 part numbers. The 0a2 has the diff offset while the Porsche version is symmetrical. You can clearly see this in the casting of the box aswell. The 01e is a...

Ak is a spaceframe while spf is a original style monocoque chassis. You cant compare Apples and pears

I believe that your transaxle is setup for pantera orientation, your diff needs to be flipped. Otherwise you will have 1 gear forward and 5 reverse. Someone else should confirm this

The quaife zf / zfq shares some key dimensions with the ZF DS transaxle but that is about it. I think the bellhousing interchanges between the quaife and the -1 and -2 ZF. Other than that i dont think a single bit of them could interchange (maybe some standard bolts, nuts and washers?) I have...
