I think you are right to be even more worried about fuel-injected systems.This is a quote from the Think Automotive brochure:- " Until recently all hoses offerred for oil were suitable for pump fuel, however two things have happened that have altered the situation.Firstly,fuel injection has...

Good point,Peter.I came to the same conclusion that a good quality reinforced rubber hose was a better bet and until I find something better, I have repiped my car the boring stuff!I would advise against overbraiding it though, as this prevents visual checking for deterioration.

Anybody else having this trouble ? After running my Holley equipped GTD on the road for about 4years, I started to get some fuel leaks from the steel braided 5/16th hose supplied by Think Automotive in the UK. The leaks were adjacent to the fittings to the pumps/filters and on inspection I...

Re: 15\" tires pics of Michelin TB 15 The 265/50s or 270/45s are rears - and damned hard to find ! I have fitted 215/60s (as standard) on the front 8" wheels of my GTD and there is a wide choice of this size from many manufacturers - including Yokohama.

Al Murray(the pub landlord) got it right when he said "some people have opinions - I talk facts!".All this bo***cks about beauty being in the eye of the beholder, no no no!Fact-only candidate for best is MK1 Gulf+flares(note spelling), so no point in debating.Candidates for worst are almost too...

I think this is a car that I looked at back in 1994 when I was looking around at GT40s. After a brief drive, I decided that building my own Mk1 GTD with a 302, would be a good idea !

Re: 15\" tires pics of Michelin TB 15 It did have a "buy-it-now" priced at £200, because I spent most of Friday evening nearly pressing the button - but it disappeared once someone bid higher ! However, now I have eventually received a pair of 265/50-13 Yokohamas,I don't need them. These Yoko...

Re: 15\" tires pics of Michelin TB 15 Thanks for the comment Bill - but I still drawn to the conclusion that the £201 bidder doesn't know what he is doing!By normal eBay protocols, the minimum price acceptable is the "Reserve price" ( or for cheapskates like me, the "Starting Price"!). The...

Re: 15\" tires pics of Michelin TB 15 A new pair of these, size 270/45-15 are currently on UK eBay right now - priced at £200 pair on "buy-it-now", but someone has just bid £201+ ! I thought I understood eBay, but I obviously don't !

Re: 15\" Michelins on Ebay Something I don't understand here.Someone has just bid £201+, whilst there was a "buy-it-now" price at £200! Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

15\" Michelins on Ebay If I hadn't just bought a set of cheapo 15" Yoko's(a very long story),I'd have gone for these.Seems Michelin started making TB15s again last year - always a good tyre, and no reason to believe these wouldn't be good for track days/sprints etc.I checked out the new price...

Re: Part-worn B.F.Goodrich Comp T/A 15\" tyres- cheap ! Hi Ian,Yes I've still got the tyres - though the fronts are still on rims! If you want them give me a call on 07974 255615.Cheers Richard

\"Riding a bicycle in your sitting room\" I thought some of you may be interested in a recent little escapade, which brought to mind the Nelson Piquet quote(above)which referred to racing an F1 car at Monaco. I recently sold my (rather bent)Alfa racecar to a guy who runs the Dreamracers website...

John, Thanks for the input. I've just been on a US Ford Motorsport site :http://www.americanspeedcenter.net/fordMS.asp.(a good site with a tempting new GT40 h.p.engine for minimal money).In place of the open breather cap,I think I'll have a go, at fitting one of their sealed caps that has a stub...

Thanks John for your response. You're right in your assumption that the car had been used for a lot of short trips(particularly in the winter here).I've taken the car for a spin most weekends to get the papers and milk- Sunday papers just fit behind the seats!Your diagnosis appears spot-on, as...

I'm having trouble breathing! When I first put my car on the road in 1999,I fitted a PCV(the right way round!)between the Holly 600 and the RH rocker cover, with an open filtered breather cap on the LH side. I always felt this was unsatisfactory - lumpy tickover/slight oil leakage from the cap.A...

How the hell can I be expected to take in the contents of the advert with that going on at the side !

Hi David, This subject must have been debated in the past! Like you, I obtained these ICI codes for painting my car in 1998(see display pic).The colours were made up by Autopaint and are very nice -but do NOT replicate 1075 or any other genuine Gulf for that matter. Undoubtably the blue...

Graham Turner's 917 replica was exhibited at the Autosports International Show at the NEC last weekend - on the 750 Motor Club stand!It is a truly stunning car(normally an overused word-particularly on eBay)but in this case appropriate.I understand that he had access to David Pipers original...
