Hoping someone has guidance for a shifter and linkage that works with the Quaife Transaxle in an RCR40. I tried Olthoff’s with the ZF shifter provided by RCR. I managed to get the push pull to work but had to cut the shifter shaft on the Quaife, so might need to replace it. There is no way that...

Hoping someone has had a chance to figure out how RCR’s new in-house steering rack is installed in an LHD RCR40. My assumption is that the center of the holes in the tub should align with the center axis of the steering rack. If that is the case then the rack needs to stand-off about 3” from...

Hoping someone recognizes the mirrors on the car. They look like they might actually provide some review vision. The picture is screen shot from this YouTube video.

I am looking for MK1 rear taillights. I did a quick search for 5-1/2” taillights and didn’t find anything acceptable. I see that originals can be had for starting at $800 on eBay, but that seems risky. I think the ones that come from RCR are trailer lights. Using them will require some...

I am trying to figure out how to fit the dash. There is a lip around the front of the dash which is about 1/2” shy of the bottom of the demister recess. I have seen some builders cut a hole in the dash support panel, others have cut off the bottom of the demister (I went this route). However, I...

The windshield on my RCR40 is very tight along the A-pillars about midway down because the pillar’s ridge bows inward 178.5^ while the windshield edge bows outward 178.8^. The result is there is plenty of gap at the top and bottom. I have the spider propped up so the top of the windshield is...

Hoping for some guidance for harness installation in an RCR40. I have seen eye bolts welded to roll bar cross bars and loops around the cross bar. I am moving the rear hoop behind the FW, but thinking to keep the crossbar in front of the FW so I can use the loop method.

My RCR40 spider arrived without trimming. Looking at pictures here, it looks like most edges are trimmed to about 3/4”. Is that correct?

I need some help identifying a source for the upper control arm ball joints for an RCR40. It is actually a Tie Rod End. My kit came with two different joints both of which have issues. According to RCR, the PN is AFCO 30212 and is stamped with 4098...

I am in the process of bolting together SBF engine mounts to RCR40 adapters. The bolt hole size is 7/16. My question is what type of nut locking system should be used. Choices I am aware of are serrated flange, Nyloc, or spring washer. If Nyloc, is there a specific type? Thx in advance.

I have an extra set of Proform SBF valve covers. I accidentally selected a quantity of 2. Unfortunately, the seller doesn’t accept returns. This is the link to the eBay store where I bought them...

Hoping someone has a source for the pictured bushings. I searched McMasters Carr, but not sure what they are called. Thx in advance.

I am looking for best practices for patching unused bolt holes in the RCR40 Aluminum chassis. These holes are in 3/16” thick plate. I will be drilling new holes in the same area. I am thinking to run a few beads around the edges until the beads fill the hole and are proud of the surface, and...

Looking for bed liner guidance for the bottom of an RCR40. Project Farms has a good review of Durabak 18. My understanding is that these products once opened, must be used with a few days. The spec sheet says 75 square feet per gallon so a quart would not be enough and a gallon is probably too...

I opted for a polished stainless steel bundle of snakes from RCR. Since they are polished, I would like coat just the inside of the tubes to manage heat. Considering using Eastwood’s internal exhaust coating...

Hoping for some guidance regarding fuel cell foam in RCR40 fuel tanks. Is it needed for street and occasional track day events? If so, is there a preferred brand or type? Thx in advance.

Two questions: 1) What is the typical location as measured from either the front or the back of the spine? 2) Has anyone come up with a slider for the shifter so the position can be adjusted for taller/shorter drivers similar to the pedal slider? Not sure if the cables are capable of...

I am curious as to what the best known method is to insulate the tubes that run through the spine. Seems to be a wide variety of solutions. Hoping one or two stand out above the others. Also, are the tubes provided by RCR stainless or otherwise protected from corrosion?

While I am waiting for my RCR40 to arrive (this week, fingers crossed), I thinking about engine fitment. I have a 302/363 with a four barrel NA carb from Prestige. I ordered it with an MSD system. I am concerned about firewall clearance. So thinking to switch it out with MSD’s small diameter...

I have been watching KurbmeisterKlotz’s RCR GT40 Build YouTube videos. He shows how he moved the windshield wiper mount on the spider from the passenger side to the driver’s side. I am wondering if RCR has different spiders depending on the driver side and he just received the wrong one or if...
