    Wanted - GT40 Mk I Canada

    The comments stated is should be a 2002 build date, but as I''m sure you are aware Transport Canada will want to see proof of first registration date for the 15 year clock, so accompanying paper trail is a key component. The transaxle is stated to be a ZF in the description, but from the photos...

    ZFQ trans, is it too harsh for a Triple pate Race clutch?

    I recall reading Ron McCall installing a straight cut 4th gear on a recent ZF rebuild.

    ZFQ trans, is it too harsh for a Triple pate Race clutch?

    The clutch only serves to engage or disengage the drive and transmit power, it in itself has little bearing on the transaxle except for the manner in which the clutch is used. If your practice is to drop the clutch, fast shift or shift without full clutch disengagement then that will stress the...

    Tornado pricing

    I think your best avenue is give Andy Sheldon at Tornado a call and discuss, but sales outside the UK are VAT exempt. The price is pretty darn good IMO, my ERA invoice was $78k in 1993 (there base kit was $54k at the time) and a Superformance roller is something like $145k now. Have you also...

    How to determine which make / brand GT40?

    Most manufacturers do use some form of unique chassis identifier or VIN# as a first start, but it's often knowing where to find it! SPF, CAV, ERA should be easy to segregate out by chassis #, even my old KVA had a chassis number once I knew where to find it! It's the more obscure and older or...

    Detached Workshop Garage Design

    The layout is similar to that I am working up for my shop, even down to the mezzanine although on mine all 3 doors would be on one wall. One of the biggest drivers I see to have a separate workshop (currently have a 5 car garage) is segregating the clean and dirty work. I'll probably use mobile...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    One other area to consider when purchasing components and bolting them together is indexing to ensure the ZF input shaft is crank center. It's not always easy for a home mechanic so often gets overlooked, but offset dowel pins are available. Also what type of crank pilot bushing are you using...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    The position of the lever on the spline shaft is somewhat critical, ideally positioned perpendicular to the slave at rest. To setup, you should disconnect the push rod, feel for where the lever just starts to engage the forks on the throw out bearing, then separately measure full distance where...

    Collector car insurance - any good suggestions?

    I switched to what was the Barrett Jackson endorsed insurance through TDC Risk management 12 years ago, they were later acquired by AIG Private Client Group. Fortunately I haven't had to file a claim, but they have been very competitive for multiple vehicles.

    ***SOLD*** SLC for sale in Canada ***SOLD***

    That avenue will see it designated "for racing purposes only" and requires a statement from the manufacturer it was constructed for racing purposes only! The chassis still has identifying marks and a VIN that will get tagged by EPA and make it almost impossible to register. A roller might work...
