    Clutch Spec and Internal Slave Cylinder info help needed for Southern GT40 - Quaife Gearbox

    I've found a local Radical race team to do some work on my SGT40 - 4 miles away, so I'm very happy about that. The Quaife gearbox is a lot heavier than I anticipated, to do it myself! It's going to be a straight swap for Quaife's latest version and they are asking me to source a replacement...

    Southern GT40 - Track Day Decibel Rating

    A question for anyone with a Southern GT40 with the "standard" out of the factory "silencers". I'm planning some track sessions for this year and want to try and find out if anyone has had their SGT40 tested and if so what was the decibel reading. My engine/motor is a 347 and I have - 1) a...

    NO new ICE cars registered after 2030 ?

    I can't see it happening - 2030 - End of registrations. I think the sustainable fuels movement will have moved on substantially by then and will be politically accepted in some way.

    FS EU Accel DFI Dual Sync Distributor

    Thanks for that Glen. I think it's going to be a bit of a struggle finding someone who can work on the system. I'll double check the code on on my distributor. Mick said that he imported just a few Accel Injection Kits, it might have been just three I seem to recall. Might have been a few more...

    FS EU Accel DFI Dual Sync Distributor

    Hi Glenn, I believe I have the same Accel set up on my Southern GT - Chassis 20. I'm interested. Did you have a particular guy who could set up the injection system near to you? I'd be interested in that as well. Cheers

    Cost of new/rebuilt ZF vs. Cost of new Quaife

    £10,224.50p is the UK list price excluding tax. £12,269.40p including vat. That was the price collected - no pallet delivery. I don't know what you are paying stateside - It'd be interesting to know. I collected one from Quaife this afternoon and got some free stickers, a lanyard and key ring...

    Transaxle differences

    Quaife's gearbox is identified as - Quaife QBE62G ZF - That's how Quaife list it. AKA - Informally as - "A Quaife"! "Quaife ZF" As already said their gearbox is a contemporary take on the 60's ZF which it replicates dimension wise.

    QUAIFE QBE62G EXPERIENCE

    Perfect timing, Joel. I got in touch with Quaife late November, also with a 3.50, and they gave me a build date of February 2025. I ordered last week and they got back to let me know they had one from a batch almost completed. Today, it's ready to collect. I'll be getting my existing one...

    Yes, I was chatting with them this afternoon. It's the choice of final drive ratios. I'm torn between. Wanting the full Mulsanne, Kemmel, Blanchimont experience on those special occasions. "When the the car is fully sorted"

    Jokes anyone? -

    I picked up my rescue dog from the centre this morning. He was given up by a blacksmith. He’s very well trained but the first thing he did was make a bolt for the door.

    Rod End Bearing Advice Request

    Thank you for adding this info Ian - One thing that I don't think has been mentioned and continues to puzzle me is - What an acceptable load rating should be for a rod end in a suspension set up, eg - lower rear wishbone to chassis. This joint is the one under the most load - is this the...

    Rod End Bearing Advice Request

    I'm looking to refresh the suspension on my Southern GT40. Rod end bearings. Is there a "go to" brand / brands that are popular? The load spec - is sometimes in newtons, sometimes lbs. Again, is there a minimum / ideal spec that you look for given the wide variation in products available...

    Somewhat connected to the question - The door "skin" height ie lower edge to the lower window edge is a ridiculous 300mm / 1 foot.
