Jim, Though mine is not an original, I have some ideas for you. There was not much room anywhere to run the wiring fore and aft. So I utilized the cabin space. DRBs use the washboard floors so this added to the challenge. One area I found was on the interior edge of the cover of the fuel tanks...

Snellville, Georgia, DRB #5 a MkI with Gulf flares. I would like to know where everybody is for when I am touring to a track. That would give me some stops along the way to visit, and break the monotony of the trip. Bill

It seems the older I get the sillier I get, well according to my wife anyway, as I have had a dream for 40 odd years, ever since I had the unique opportunity way back in 1973 to do a few laps of Pukekohe in a F5000 that one day I would have my own, well the old girls are now worth far more than...

I am starting to do some fiberglass work on my car(DRB#5) and after doing some research, have come up with some questions. When these cars were manufactured, what type of resins did they use in their builds. Was it polyester or epoxy? In my readings I came across some information that make it...

Thanks for replying guys. Your info is very helpful. I went back over my build log(what there is of it) and I was discussing the various problems I was having with the master. In that thread I noticed I had left off the balance spring for the pivot arm. This will save the throw out bearing. So...

DRB#5 IS ALIVE!!!! The electronic bugs have been found and sent on their way. after tracing EVERY wire from its origin to it termination and found o be O K, I decided to check on the DIP switches in the XIM box. You guessed it two of the switches were on that should have been off. When the...

Terry, I would suggest you look at Chucks post for how he handled his problem with the exhaust near the paint. It works. I am doing something similar. Also see what high HP and fiberglass will do to your paint below. Mine was less than 4 inches, no insulation and the guys running the engine...

Lopy, You will find several DRBs around the country. I believe mine is the oldest(http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/13742-drb-5-a.html) and I'm still trying to get it on the road. I have to update my build log as I have made a lot of movement recently and I think it will be on the...

I have a set of rotors that Fran furnished to me way back when I was searching for high performance brakes for the C-4 front suspension. I have just had a few problems with that setup. On the second drive of the car, I noticed the brakes grabbing and releasing. It seemed to get worse with more...

Well after 14 months at DRB the interior,paint and engine are done. Still awaiting some parts from the chrome plater (5 months) so I am picking it up Monday and bringing it home unfinished. Basically I am out of patience and not prepared to spend any more money on this. Here are some...

I thought this out for a long time before going with the Aerop Catch system. I finally acquired them back in '09. I have been pleased with them in that you can't accidentally leave then undone as some who have the locking pins that stick through have had happen. The cover sticks up too high to...

Andy, Those fuel sensors are hands down the way to go. My only siggestion is to add a trap door setup at the ful pickup to insure fuel pickup when braking. Include the fuel return to that area to help out as well. Having hot fuel returniong to the pumps is not a problem. Heating the fuel up is...
