    Work Dolly

    Bill, Since I have one, I will give you my impressions. 1. Consider making it only 24" tall. The sil height will be at waist high and you can bend over and into it easier. I'm 5'9", and the extra 6 inches hits me in the ribcage. Also, at 24" the sil is the next step up from a foldup kitchen...

    Which one and why

    Thanks for the info guys. Patience eh. Well I built a Car way back in 84 and have been wanting a GTD since around 89, so I guess I am very virtuous I have come very close to signing the cheque several times in the past, but other things have cropped up to change my plans. Now though I have...

    Pin-drive adapter nuts and sockets

    I'll throw a spanner into the spokes (so to speak) ! The standard setup with a DRB (GT40 Australia) is to use '87 Vette hubs/susp/brakes at the front & '88 Vette hubs/spindles/brakes at the rear. All hubs are set up for 5 x lug-nuts & nobody seems to ever have trouble with them coming...

    Warts and all GT40 Australia #48

    Re: GT40 Australia #48 This may go along with your info about the roll bar, I am "attempting" to put a cage in my car (DRB#5). As most will figure out, with the spider in place it is going to be a difficult proposition. Looking at your frame pictures just gave me an idea. Rather than put the...

    Rotors, calipers and wheels

    I am having a difficult time with the selection of these for my DRB. It came with the standard 11.5 corvette rotors. the wheels that came with it would not work with any brand of calipers as the wheels were what I call two stage wheels. That is the inside diameter of the wheel has a step down...

    351W vs 302W

    ...run straight thru the roll-bar braces (& considering the hassles in post-fitting these, mods are pretty-much out of the question). Bill (DRB#5) - your setup should be fine as you have the roll-bar inside the cabin & the braces therefore everything is moved forward & your braces...

    New to the forum. Steer me in the right direction

    Robert, Welcome to the forum. I own a DRB and am in the middle of the build phase. I selected the DRB for several reasons. First was the price. The original owner had it for 4 years and never completed it and pressure from his girlfriend for a house led to a quick sale at a price that was very...

    Roaring Forties #18

    Welcome Richard, The decision between an RF & a DRB is really tough one - each has its pluses & minuses, but both are great cars. However, the dominant factor coming into play here in Oz is rego - each State has its own rules & they are getting worse all the time. In NSW, we are...

    Engine / Trans Split

    From what I can gather, there used to be problems with the very early adaptor plates - I think that they were just cut from a flat sheet of aly. Mine is one of the later ones (probably like Bill's), made from 5/8 " billet aly & has about 1/8" machined out where the bellhousing goes. This...
