Lucas, I grew up in Mariettta, and my son lives there now in the Brumby apts. Speaking of Brumby, My parents bought his house that he was building back about 1950. It was called Fort Brumby. Built out of concrete and steel. Asberstos roof with steel trusses, built into the side of a hill. He was...

What you guys are describing is exaactly what I am telling you is the problem. With out the roll over valves it will continue. The rollover valves will close in the upright position when fluid rises in the tube, preventing it from going into the air filter or out the vent line and into the...

This is great news. We recently had to inspect the underside of one of my heads(full writeup in my build thread DRB#5). When the exhaust were pulled I had more than one exhaust cylinder with a leak. One was worse than any other. So I will plan on going the ultra copper route when we reassemble...

Well guys it has been a long time but the good news is that I finally have DRB#5 on the ground, engine running and driven for the first time outside of the neiborhood. Since the last time I have had to overcome some hugh hurdles. I have gone through 4 ring gears on the starter. You heard that...

...a warehouse). Popped a few holes in it with the plasma cutter(indispensible) and mounted it to the edge of the table. In my build thread on DRB#5 http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/13742-drb-5-a.html at post 18.19 and 20 I describe it and how to lay it out. You can make round corners...

Well, Finally managed to get to an event this year and in-car footage is on youtube on below link. Went well considering I haven't driven there in over 5 years and still a bit of setup work to do to get front end to bite (6th overall, see www.classicrally.com.au Aug 8 superkhana for the...

Hi Russ, That looks just like our other breathers - an empty can of your favorite beer, some hose, zip line, and you are good to go. Here is the G50 transaxle fill picture I was after. Looks like 4-5 quarts would be a good fill level for a system with no trans a cooler. Credit goes to Dimi...

Just posted on youtube a couple of videos of DRB #67 at the WA Sprint Championship that was held on Sunday just gone. Was the first time I've been able to start to push the car reasonably hard. Went well enough, but a long way to go. Had a top end misfire at around 6500 RPM and needs a fair...

...fight I am afraid, as the starter was ordered several years ago but only used less that 20-30 times during the last year only(see build log for DRB#5), which finally resulted in the above. I am hoping they will own up to their mistake and make it good, but I don't think they will. So I may...

Ron, You have the saame unit as mine. You should have two screw adjusters. One is for the adjustment of where full is the other is for the low level lite. There should be three wires to atach also. The positive, negative, and the sender wire. I'm at work right now, but when I get home I will...

I just got back from the "Tag Office" in my county in Ga. Got my car registered without a hitch. In Ga. all you need is a bill of sale basicly for your registration. Since my car was imported to the U S, they required that a police agency officer/offical or tag office offical inspect the car...

Mark, You will enjoy working with Fran as he is a stellar guy. don't put your build off too long for Life will come along and get in the way. I know from first hand experience. My build is goin on 7+ years thanks to teenagers who destroyed my budget more than once. Had enough to actually build...

Terry, My slave is a 996 unit. So far I haven't gotten it to budge with a 1" or a 3/4". I have a 5/8" that I am going to try out. I haven't gotten any help from my Porsche buddies on its size, so I am into the trial and error approach. I handed my trans over to the shop foreman some time ago to...

I have a video or two of the first fireups I attempted with my car. Actually the third, forth and fifth as the engine builder did it twice to get it running and tune it. My problem is that it is on a mini DVD in the camera. Well the disc won't load on my computer and there is no interface cord...

110 x 68 mm 5 rad. turn down, Panel is 450 W x 300 from .8 Al. Available from DRB sports cars:thumbsup:

Bill, Best to get rid of those annoying and expensive teenagers. They really do hamper one's lifestyle. I believe some recycling centers are now accepting teenagers. While you're there you might be able to fish some scrap copper out of the recycling bin, and then later sell it back to the...

Dvid, Welcome to the forum. I have DRB#5 so I know what you will be going through. Hope you are able to complete it sooner than it has taken me. You will really enjoy this car. It is one of the strongest built GT-40 there is. Welded panels give it the strenght it needs. Spend some time on the...

Once you get your regulators and all set you will not have to add a the pollack valve and all the other stuff unless you feel a need for them. The economy method works just as well without them at all. What I am doing is the same as Dimi did with his fuel lines. The return line is T'd and one...

Guy, Here is that car and its history: http://http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/13742-drb-5-a.html Bill

Alan, Yes that is what I meant. The rollover valves are a part of the VENT system. They will allow air to move in and out as the fuel level changes as long as it isn't done rapidly. This keeps the tanks from pressurizing. The little ball in the valves will be pushed up as fluid rises in the tube...
