    Sourcing Fuel tanks

    This may be a stretch but does anyone know of fuel tanks for sale for GT40Australia cars formerly known as DRB? Or who built them for These companies when they were in operation? I'm getting ready to either build them or if possible purchase them and save some hassle. Thanks for any help. Pete

    My son at 32 years of age just passed last Monday in a drowning accident. He was a kind hearted soul willing to help anyone. I never saw him raise his voice in anger. He was thoughtful and articulate. He was interested in many things including my crazy GT40 endeavor. Now that seems...

    Credit where credit is due.

    I just want to thank Fran and Casey for their support of my project. I ordered a piece from Fran and they delivered. It may seem to be a small thing. Something we all expect. Lately it seems we don't get even the most basic of expectations when we put our money down. Also thanks to all the...

    Ricardo transaxle

    Check out this place: RPM Transmissions T56 T-56 4L60E 4L65E for Ricardo trannys. I bought mine for $8600.00. It's been rebuilt and upgraded. I told them I would put a plug in for them here. I understand they have a steady supply. Just a FYI, nothing to do with me. Pete:stooge_moe:

    Rear upright clevis

    After looking at these two pictures and noticing that they have been made 90 degrees from each other where the heim joint connects, I'm wondering if there is a preferred position. Can somebody comment? I'm getting ready to machine a set and happen to run across these two styles. Pete
