Reassembly of car following Quaife gearbox swap. The car has fuel injection. There's a bracket holding a sensor that looks like it was fitted to the gearbox (r/h side) offside receiving info from the driveshaft. But, it doesn't seem clear as to how it was previously fitted. It's a long shot...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what the roller bearings fitment is for the clutch release shaft? I've got a new gearbox being fitted and need to source them. Any help, gratefully received. It's factory built chassis 20. Thanks

I've found a local Radical race team to do some work on my SGT40 - 4 miles away, so I'm very happy about that. The Quaife gearbox is a lot heavier than I anticipated, to do it myself! It's going to be a straight swap for Quaife's latest version and they are asking me to source a replacement...

A question for anyone with a Southern GT40 with the "standard" out of the factory "silencers". I'm planning some track sessions for this year and want to try and find out if anyone has had their SGT40 tested and if so what was the decibel reading. My engine/motor is a 347 and I have - 1) a...

Happy Christmas everyone. Thanks so much for your help and assistance from a "Green Newbie." It's a great forum - meaning the people - who make it work so well.

I'm looking to order one and would like to ask the following from those using one at present. It'll be for road and track use. The final drive choice - 3.50 or 3.75 Which did you choose and was it the best choice from your point of view and actual use?

I'm looking to refresh the suspension on my Southern GT40. Rod end bearings. Is there a "go to" brand / brands that are popular? The load spec - is sometimes in newtons, sometimes lbs. Again, is there a minimum / ideal spec that you look for given the wide variation in products available...

Just thought I would post my highlight event of the year so far.

I want to replace the steering rack gaiters. Does anyone know what rack is used as standard factory. So I can source the best gaitors. I'm in the UK. Thanks

The car's a Southern GT40 - 347 - With the "OEM" Southern Header Tank - i/c Bleed Pipe from Radiator to Header. I'm interested to hear peoples bleeding technique. How consistent it is. I'm thinking of getting a vacuum fill system but wanted to know first if this might be a panacea for all...

As per the title I'm looking for as many ideas and recommendations as possible. I'm wanting the best possible wet track tyre for full wet conditions only - no dry track use. The tyre can be specced as full race, track day, or a road legal tyre. I don't mind; just a tyre that does the best job...

I've found a few period photos of MKI's showing this "skimpy frame set up" on top of the exhaust system. That is MKI's of the 68/69 era. Everyone knows about the MKII's dual luggage bins visible from a rear angle that were required to meet regulations. Is this a "luggage frame" fitted to meet...

Hi, UK based and as per the heading. Is it possible to recondition these? A pump working within normal limits. How much variance in noise level is acceptable? Does a certain noise level indicate imminent failure and if so what might that level be? Asking as I have an opportunity to purchase...

Hi everyone, UK based Rutland Area. A guy has been in touch and sat in my car, Southern GT40, non lowered floor, no Gurney Bubble. He's in, the door shuts but it's clear it's never going to work. He's very keen to make it work and is a "can do" sort of person. He's 6foot 4inches with a...

Hello everyone. My first post asking for some help and advice. The car's a Southern GT40, 347, Eight Stack, Accel DFI. 2x Mitsuba's and 1x high pressure fuel pump. The car was running great. It took me to the Le Mans Classic, did 3 track sessions and brought me home. A circa 400 mile round...
