I have completed the first step of the fuel system. It is enough to get the car running and on the road. I have made all the test and all works well. Crank up will come on Tuesday. Here is the ideal setup and it will be completed in the future if the way it is lined up runs into a problem from...

...is too far ahead of the arc and I will have to alter the rod ends to get it closer to the top of the arc. My setup uses a push pull setup(see DRB#5). Also, I measured the lenght of the cable as it unwinds from the round device on the intake manifold. It measures nearly 3 inches. If you...

...The subtitle with the two photos are "John Evans". If it is who I think it is it is a fellow I contacted about building a shifter for my car DRB#5 here in the Atlanta area. His rates were a little high for me, but he has lots of experience with rear engined/mid engined trans adaptaions...

i did contact thor motorsports abt this issue. (the guy who sold me the TWM.) i asked him abt this and asked where the mechanism springs were and if he has seen this prob b4. he said he hadnt heard of this issue and was going to check to see if he could get a schematics on where the springs...

Well some good news I have got a few emails back from the Large transmission companies. At the moment I am talking to Getrag in Japan .. They seem interested in what I have said about supplying transaxles for Kit Car builders and Small Car Companies. If this comes off then people could be able...

Thanks Hoppy - the "Codpieces" are 3mm aluminium, so I assume that these could be successfully chromed. Yep, the DRB seems to have hit that "sweet spot" in terms of wheel arch radius vs tyre radius with the 17" jobs - they just look "right". My only issue was with pushing the wheels outboard...

Hi Maily, I have a DRB and have had a long association with Peter Ransom the CEO of DRB and know that he is as keen to get business as any manufacturer. I suggest that your emails may be judged as Spam by his Firewall. Otherwise I am sure they would have replied to them. If you would like to PM...

...from the sloping panel beside the engine to a shelf arrangement. I won't post a pic so as not to take away from your thread. It can be seen on DRB#5 build thread. How do you like the Racetech seats? I have them for my car and should be mounted this week. I really like the way you mounted your...

Hi Guy's Thanks for the further responses. Pete & Tim, I've had a brief chat to DRB about a turnkey. They recommend an engineer for compliance in Coffs Harbour. As Pete mentioned they can make it seamless. I'm up on the Gold Coast on 11/5 so I may pop in and have a look. Hi Dave...

Tom, If you go back to my build site(DRB#5) you will see I had them originally mounted with the entry/exit in the down position. After some discussion on the forum, I decided to make them top fill/exit. After talking to the engine builder, I found out that it doesn't matter which way you mount...

...Atlanta has one or two historic races. Roebling Road(sp?) is right there in Savannah. I was introduced to one guy who races his replica at Road Atlanta. Can't remember his name. If you are up here give me a call or email me. Do a search for DRB#5 for my build. H-770-978-6468 C-678-687-4611 Bill

I am in search of door latches for DRB#5. Several members have given good sources for Bear Claws. Some have used them inside and outside of the door. My door panel has a slight recessed area for the mechanism. Was looking for a more polished mechanism such as the one in the pic below. I remember...

Bill, Try Eric, I've found him a very helpful guy (with gearbox info). See his S2000 post http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-chassis-fuel-brakes-wheels-tires-electrics/13590-s2000-start-button-connector.html?highlight=S2000 Good luck. DRB #5 must be getting close now. Cheers

For what its worth, I have had some experience with Albins. About 3 years ago, I sent my G50 down to Albins for a new higher ratio 5th gear set to be fitted. Whilst they had the box apart, they were to check everything & replace the synchros. I got the box back about 3 weeks later...

Hi T. Thanks for your posting. I like the DRB, however I have emailed them 5 times in the last 2 months and received no replies at all. With RCR, it is a totally different story. You will receive a reply from Fran even if you do not ask for it. To me, and it is only my opinion, because I would...

...a measurement for the Corvette suspension of 3 1/2" above the frame to eliminate it. I am sure a plate could be fabed to mount off the tube for the rack. P M me and I can give you a better description of the setup and alignment if you are interested. I believe it is on my build thread DRB#5...

Dave, Both front and rear? The reason I ask is I'm designing my own chassis which will use C4 Corvette front supension (I have a "fine specimen" of an 86 Vette sitting in my driveway waiting to be dismantled). It looks like (on the CAD display anyway) I won't have enough room for a pedal...

Snipper, Don't know about your search, but you have two options. One is to mount it to the vent above the exhaust ala Lotus Turbo Eaprit, or to mount them to the two exits in the rear as I am doing with mine, DRB#5 Have just changed them around from flat brackets to tubular. Bill

Rear coolers and body section fitting. Finally comming together.

I have read with interest all the replies. Most of the proposed solutions create too many bits and pieces that can and will go wrong. I have in DRB#68 twin tanks with a cross feed tube of 5/16 diameter to link the 2 tanks and allow them to equal out without allowing surge from one side to...
