Hi James Fire....use fire to mount your tyres / tires....

Is it glass? Search on eBay UK for "lucas screenjet" and maybe one of them might match your set-up?

There are currently huge issues with the global supply chain, in particular containerised shipping. At some stage, 80% of world trade is seaborne, and there are queues and lack of capacity at many of the big ports. https://www.ft.com/content/eb21056b-5773-422a-ab78-92e59cddc1b5...

I think you need a decent current flow, which allows the windings to build up a magnetic field, then the alternator can start charging. Trouble is...surely adding a resistor will reduce the current, not increase it? I'm tempted to suggest just switching to a filament bulb...but that might not...

Shaun In addition to the 10 second priming, and running the fuel pump when the engine is running, does your ECU also run the pump while cranking? That should build pressure for starting...and then you're running. Eddy

Hi Rob There's a Search function on the forum; it threw up these results:- https://www.gt40s.com/threads/rear-uprights-fabrication-plans.34994/ https://www.gt40s.com/threads/rear-uprights.21858/ There are probably many more, if you take a look! :)

Mike knows what he's talking about...here's an Imp head, machined to take Wills rings:- And Trelleborg, who make a range of seals for high-pressure environments, say this:- Funny thing is, I've seen them referred to as Cooper rings, too. Maybe an earlier name? Atlas makes them:-...

Brilliant! Now...what are your plans for it?

Couple on eBay UK at the moment:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254841598474 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254841624339

Uploaded some pics of the gearbox end of the linkage:- Excuse the scabby paint on this last pic...I was still modifying the mounting points:-

When did you get the initial and second second shot? First jab today; 2nd due towards end of March Which vaccine was it? Pfizer BionTech Any side effects? Nope (other than a sudden urge to buy Microsoft shares)* Have you contracted Covid 19 after being vaccinated? Too early to say! :)...

Easily debunked:- Myth #2: The vaccine will alter your DNA A video that misrepresents remarks Gates made about COVID-19 vaccines has convinced some they can change DNA, the molecule that contains a person’s genetic code. The video appears to confuse DNA with messenger RNA, which is used by the...

Hi Spike Bought a '69 motor recently from Mark at Obsolete Fleet https://www.obsoletefleet.co.uk/ He'd had a container recently arrive from the US full of old motorcycles, Chev and Ford V8s and so on. Worth letting him know what you're looking for? Cheers, Eddy

The cable is (I think) the reverse lockout system. You can see the stepped sleeve on the shaft coming out of the gearbox, plus the pin which is retracted by the cable to allow extra motion to the Reverse plane.

Hi Mark This is what I used when constructing mine recently:- 16mm stainless tube, 3.5mm wall thickness RS Pro Universal joints:- https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/universal-joints/7906719 My own shifter, lockout lever and top plate I had to re-do the whole thing, after starting with...

Hi Chris Lots of people on here with more experience than me, but I'll tell you what my machine / balance shop told me a couple of weeks ago when I took them my 28-oz crank / '69 block / new steel flywheel (from Southern GT) / AP clutch cover. On the reverse of the flywheel there's a circular...

Quick update:- I have found a nearby machine shop (just an hour away and still within Lancashire) stuffed full of Sunnen, Serdi and other top-notch equipment, plus an engine guy who knows what he's doing. In addition to the Jag E-type race engines (which are their mainstay) Daimler 250 V8...

Not done much these last three weeks, but I did check that I have 10v out on two separate pins, so I can provide power to four gauges which need 10 volts - two fuel gauges, one oil temp and one coolant temp.

@GTGeorge @Joules5 @bill kearley Don't worry - Jack has another thread on here detailing his rebuild of this car:- https://www.gt40s.com/threads/mda-gt40-rebuild.53895/

Hi Neil, and thanks for your *input which is **warmly welcomed. Unless I badly mis-read the datasheet of TO220-packaged L7810CV regulators, the tab is ground (along with centre pin). In fact, just hang on a tick....<sound fx - footsteps disappear into distance, clicking and scuffling sounds...
