.....and do your self a favor, put a dial on your crankshaft and measure the run out to the step in your bell housing that centers your ZF/Input shaft. Mine was horrible. I installed a couple adjustable offset dowel pins and with a little tuning centered the ZF and it did wonders for ease of...

Where is the car located? Best, Kelly

Your house your rules Ron, but believe it not, your site is colored by its content and that includes the content of that section and the topics and language contained therein. Most vendors screen sites for such and that type of content is often an automatic no for sponsorship. IMO and of course...

I don’t post much anymore but do and always have enjoyed GT40s.com and that’s why I previously opted to financially support the site. An observation I’ve made in life and business is that entities tend to evolve into the niche they serve. That can either be the key to their survival or demise...

The bronze versus needle pilot bearing is an old chestnut.Really depends on time exposure and where you think you're operating on the bearingPV curve but will say the journal on the ZF pilot shaft is not suitablehardness to host the needle bearing and would you rather replace a bronze bushingor...

Agreed......and because it doesn't conduct heat very well it's easier to control the puddle and typically less heat induced stress and distortion. Copper and aluminum alloys are at the opposite end of the scale. Best, Kelly

We do it every day at work. With MIG you should use 98/2 Argon-CO2 for shield gas and purge the internals with same. What alloy is your tube? 304L? Best, Kelly

Thank you. That did it. Best, Kelly

Anyone have the link to the SLC Wiki handy and could post it by reply? All my old links are dead and when I search the subject line of this thread, I get a mind numbing number of hits but no joy. Best, Kelly

IMO the forums that cater to the 40 and component cars in general a far better place to sell the car. Though you may get exposure to buyers with pockets most of the so-called exotic dealers don’t understand the car no could they understand or convey what would make a well sorted build better...

Doc, I don't own this one nor recall where I collected the pictures from but probably eBay. I have a number of detailed pictures with casting numbers. If you email me I can send what I have if interested. Best, Kelly

Indeed, result so far looks great and hopefully will perform equally well, not to mention the perseverance considering Post number one's date. Well done Leon. Best, Kelly

Not mine and hard to imagine the need for TT but looks very nicely done. Boat load invested there I'm sure. Hard to believe there's a Ricardo stuffed in there too. Anyone know the car? Replica Kit Makes | eBay Best, Kelly

They look nicely executed. Apologies if I missed it earlier but what is the material used and weight each? Best, Kelly

ZF is also inverted in Pantera configuration. Best, K

Very nice work Ken and a great build in progress. I cant see all of the mounting details but one word of caution from the voice of experience on rigid condenser and radiator mounting. It may be counterintuitive but it’s almost always better to go the other direction and mount them in rubber...

One thing to add to this discussion is the difference between builders and owners. When you build a car, you not only apply what you know but you learn more and add to your experience by doing the deed. There’s a real value to that. You also have the pride and satisfaction of knowing you built...

Buy Kent's RCR P4 in the for sale section and before you bring the P4 across the pond pull/sell LS and Porsche box to someone here on the board that is looking for a drop in for their SL-C (or ?) build....all is right with the world......not crazy but definitely proper. Best, K

Without QC that’s comparable to a ZF. I think that’s a very good result. I was just curious because the face of the TA housing had the exposed input shaft support bearing and didn’t have any mounting features. Best, K

Leon, First and foremost, congratulations on the journey and result to this point. It’s a thing of beauty and great accomplishment thus far. All the best to you as you put power to the test mule. Apologies if it was posted previously, but given the recent posts: Will it need a custom...
