Been looking at upgrading the brakes on my DRB GT40 which runs standard 85-87 Corvette hubs. It's running stock Corvette brakes at the moment. Looking for reasonably economical ways to do this. Lots of kits only seem to fit C4 models from 88 onwards. Would like to do front and rear...

Re: Ford small blocks 101 Travis, Don't know where in Ga. you are, but there are about 5 or 6 GT40's in the Atlanta area. Chip: lives off Scott Blvd.(Decatur) having someone build a Tornado that should be ready this summer. Joseph: lives in Lawrenceville, 10 miles from me, has a CAV that he...

Hi August I noted your enquiry and some of the comments regarding GT40 replica's and in particular the ability to fit larger, tall people comfortably in the cabin. GT40 Australia manufacture the DRB GT40. To provide a bit of history, DRB GT40 No1 is now 7 years old and has traveled over...

Just back from The Targa Tasmania, what an occasion!!Its like entering a mouse trap--- one foot wrong and its game over--a very demanding event The TR7 protested from day 1 till day 4 when I finished it off upside down .A couple of stages were done on 7 cyls due to broken rocker shafts However...

Hi All, I thought that it was about time that I posted some info & pics of progress to date. Some history : I bought the car from a DRB dealer about 30 months ago - a previous owner had started (engine, trans, suspension roughed in) but ran out of time. He ended up buying the dealer's...

Collin My DRB will be here on or abouot the 5th of January ( I hope ). As its one of the early units ( car #5 )and not complete, I will probably have some of the interesting problems mentioned. I plan to disassemble the car, rebuild it, and straighten out some of the problems along the way. If...

This sort of thread has got be made into an FAQ? Anyway, to add my thoughts. As Norman suggested in a different thread just now, the price of an airline ticket is not enormous compared to the whole cost of a 40. Robert, you said you wanted to see head to head, RF, DRB and GT40NZ. That is...

The Annual "Muscle Car Shoot 0ut" held at Queensland Raceway on Sunday 19 May 2002, included over 200 "1960's V8 Muscle Cars" 5 DRB GT40's competed in the "Shoot Out", Fastest Lap of the day competition and DRB GT40's finished with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fastest times ahead of some super...

Re: My Car\'s here ! ! - well - almost Dave, Welcome to the many layers of the shipping industry. There are charges for every thing. They even charge the trucking fee when the container is removed from the stack and delivered to the warehouse for uncrating. Then the charge to uncrate it. And oh...

Robert A while back you offered a left hand drive dash. My 40 is a DRB. Will there be any "hidden" problems using your dash in the DRB( mounting points etc. )? I know that the replicas are based on the same dimensions, but I would like there to be no problems using another brand in the car. I...

Re: WHATS WRONG WITH THIS FORM I am in agreement to a degree with SHO40s position, I also think some very good points have been made through the responses to his original post. In my personal expierience with this board over the past couple of years there seems to be a few levels of GT40dom...

Peter GT40 Australia built Duane Hart's DRB GT40 a couple of years ago. We fitted Simmons FR16 x 8" wide and x 10" Front and Rear respectively. Offsets are as per the Build Manual. The tyres are also as per the Build Manual (Front 225-50VR16 and Rear 255-50VR16) The standard DRB GT40 rear...

IT\'S HEEEERRRRE After 8+ months I now have in my possesion a GT-40. This is an unfinished DRB kit ( car no. 5 )that was worked on for 4 years, before putting it up for sale. Here ( I hope ) is the pretty picture: And here is the composit ( I hope )after it arrived home: Trying to get...

I think we are basicly in agreement. There are more guys becoming subagents for the various companys, and that is making it easier to see the cars. If you read my article on buying a used or incomplete car and use the info for the new ones, you probably won't go wrong. What you need to do is...

Hi Bill Thankyou from everyone at GT40 Australia for your very kind words regarding the high quality workmanship and finish of your DRB GT40. We all enjoyed building your car and the good relationship we developed with you during that period. As with your car, we take a lot of pride in all the...

Julian, Go to the post by Duane Hart on Jan 5. there is a link to his site(Sporting Images). It has photos of a yellow and red DRB with what looks like brake ducts that align with the NACA ducts on the front clip. They look like factory built parts. Perhaps they might fit, or perhaps be...

Luis, That site worked fine for me 5 mins ago. If you can't get to it on a second attempt, try http:// www.findit.co.uk/uk/cars/ford/pictures/gt90. htm Bill DRB Gt40/0035

Hi Jon Regarding the rear flaring - all the cars in the photos have standard rear ends. Some of the latest DRB's have wider rear ends to fit the wider tyres, but the 5 in the photos above are standard Mk1 shapes. Denis Bedford (who designed the original DRB cars - worked on getting the shape...

Recently I have been thinking about replacing my current 40 with a new one. I use my 40 mainly for track days, not competetively - just for fun, so I am looking for a car which will stand up to everything a track can throw at it, but with the ability to be used on the road. I am also looking to...
