Brett, Does your GT have Granada brakes? If so how well do or did they work? Are they easy to upgrade if you have a car with Granada spindles and brakes? Is that what you are upgrading with the Wilwoods? How big are the Granada disks and how big are the Wilwood? Last what does it cost...

Will the rear uprights usually interchange from manufacturer to manufacture? Like a set of aluminum uprights bolt in place of steel ones? The reason I am asking is to convert a car built with parts from overseas cars to uprights to use US available parts like DRB's that uses Corvette stubs and...

I set up an oil cooler on my off-road buggy. I had a Medeola garbox and the fluid smelled burnt after a race. Tapped the bottom of the case drew thru a filter and used a small pump. I drew thru a filter to protect the pump. Went thru a small cooler and then into the bearing in the nose cone...

Can the gulf flairs be put on any GT40? Is the suspension the same in the rear and just accepts wider wheels or does it use different uprights? Thank you Jim

Oh I didnt notice the date on the prior posts. Is thia really from 04? Doh Jim

I was looking at your disks and it was only 1 day between the accident and when you took the front off. Your disks are very rusty. I dont think they would rust like that in 1 day would they? Maybe your front disks are not working at all. That would certianly cause the rear to lock very easy...

Quote: Exactly, had nothing to do with Indy. It is simply just that largest group of self-proclaimed motor heads are NASCAR fans and I submit they wouldn't know Lola from Lotus, and would identify with neither. That ain't fair Ron, I love NASCAR and Lola is is the cute girl that works...

If you have a cam with a rough idle you will have reduced vacuum. This can result in a lean condition. Many times people adjust the fuel mixture screws out to get idle mixtrue correct but when the vacuum is low often the screws are adjusted out to far. The screws are meant to achieve correct...

He sold it for 29,900 with the trailer? Wow someone got a deal. Jim

I have used for retainers and connecting rods. Had a 1452cc Suzuki GSXR motor. With the Cosworth superlight pistons and ti rods the reciprocating mass was like that of a 600cc bike. Tremendous throttle response. Had to be careful closing the throttle also as it would lock the rear wheel...

It is very sad. I had the privelage of racing with Mr Brock and he was quite the gentleman. To win you have to push the limit. You never realize how fast you are going untill something goes wrong. I pray for his family in this difficult time. Sincerely Jim Nielsen

Ron, Use the old eccentric and you can use your pin by putting a small bearing in the cam pin hole to space the pin out. Jim

This is a great thread and has answered many questions I had also. Is there somewhere that has a list of the different tranaxles, the cost, weakness and fixes for each? Thank you Jim

Snob - or wot Andy/Charley Farley, I cant tell if you are trying to be smart or just maybe I am reading it wrong. I said I had never seen a real GT40 in person so I doubt I would know all the differences. I guess you do so that makes you a much better person. I meant that being a race car...

Ron Rowse email Ron, I have been trying to get an email thru to you for some time. Can you drop me a line when you have time? Jim

Snob or What Personally I have never seen a real GT40 in person so I couldnt tell you where each piece would go. I know most of the originals were all different. As for the people I have only met 2 kit owners and they wer very helpful and nice people. Peter Delaney went out of his way in...

Re: Oil pressure surging Had this same problem happen. The oil pump pickup was not tightened securly to the pump. Good luck Jim

Espen and Dave, Thank you for the information and the pictures. Having the steel roof and b pillars does what? Just added strength and stifness? Is it a problem with fiberglass? Also on the standard kit using Granada spindles and brakes. Are these more than adequate for a street driver...

I would be interrested in the kit information also. Could you email the information to me? Thank you Jim

WEll thanks for all the information but the car has been sold. I will look into some of this anyway so I can be ready when the right one comes along again. Thank you everyone. Jim Nielsen
