Hi. I'm looking for a rear spoiler for Mk1 in UK. Like this one (CAV Canada). Or with slots for adjusting. http://cavgt.ca/gallery-collection/2015/11/30/pxc0fad4pwu7ry7hvalhkx7xrez2nj Anyone got any suggestions where to get one in the UK please? I already have a request in to Andy at Tornado...

And here is a source for the white lamp. https://www.s-v-c.co.uk/products/spb392wc-lucas_wl15_type_warning_light_-white_lens_chrome_rim-spb392wc

Very old topic, but I can't find any further confirmation. I would also like to know what is the white light for? Is it indeed for radiator fan? Thanks.

Hi all Long time ago I bought one of the 'OEM' GT40 Moto-Lita steering wheels. (I know, I know, it's not original because of the name etched into it....) Now it's time to try and fit it. Oh joy! Unique PCD - 78mm. The boss on my steering column is 70mm PCD and I have a horn push badge kit which...

At last good news. GT40 Australia/ DRB #52 is finally registered. It has been a long time coming and hopefully will be out on track on a regular basis soon. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make it to Philip Island. I did have a shake down 4 years ago at Mallory Park - Unfortunately the old...

Hi Steve. Thank you. Actually my second 40. First was sold before ordering this one. It's still around, now in Finland. With regards the MOT, I screen printed above the details of a more normal new car. It shows 'No results returned' and First MOT due = 2 March 2025. But my car shows 'No...

Hi all. AT LAST my DRB has IVA and Registration, with new 22 plate. Only 19 years in the making....... I believe it is the only DRB in Europe. Let me know if you know otherwise. I have a query about the date of next MOT. When I look up my registration on the gov.uk website, I see this - and...

Congratulation Brett, and Mrs Brett. Great name! I thought I would get more time as the kids got a little older, but it hasn't happened. Now the 12 year old needs ferrying round everywhere! So get back in that garage NOW!

Hi Jon. Sorry, didn't see your response before I posted mine.

Thanks Big-Foot Vacuum is around 8 at idle and currently power valve is 6.5 which we know is too high, hence going to put blanking plug in for testing. Long term we will try 3.5 power valve but want to get idle/ part throttle sorted first. Replacing with smaller (say 750 or even 600) is...

Hi all. Getting very frustrated with the carb now having spent many hours working on it and also reading up on how to set up, how to rebuild, how to diagnose etc etc so hoping you guys can help out. I'm having troubles getting current carb which was supplied with engine about 8 years ago...

Adrian and Thomas Edward has it right. Check again with the firing order specified by edward. Every other number in the sequence gives 1467 and 8352. Adrian - you have 8325 which is wrong. But don't be too worried. The original order for real 40s (also copied by many replicas) is also...

What material to use? Hey Clayton. Don't worry. As far as I can tell 99% of all GT40s and replicas have got it "wrong", so wrong is actually right, as Jac Mac says, if you got it "right" it would probably upset the FIA. I am starting to work out what to do for another attempt at sorting out my...

I also see in the thread http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-engines-induction-exhaust/35127-2-headers.html another very nice set of pipes which have not followed the old drawing. Again it appears that the order on the right hand bank has been 'corrected' so that they rotate, and the left hand...

Hi Clayton. Very nice set of pipes, but I am still a little unclear. It appears you swapped both sets of internal crossover pipes to keep symmetry. 6 and 7 have been swapped to fix the right hand bank. So your right hand bank appears to use 1467 which rotates. Fixed from the standard 1476...

I know it's an old thread but I am really struggling to find a decent set of pictures of a crossover exhaust system which DOES rotate round on BOTH sets of 4 headers. Looking from the back of the car towards the front, most sets I have seen follow the below pattern which as far as I can see...

Hi all. Another small update on the exhaust. I got the car out onto the driveway and did some noise measurements. Frank still has some work to do, but he is already on the case. 0.5m from exit at 45 degrees at 3500rpm we measured 108dB. Needs to be down to around 95dB for most track days...

Video is now on YouTube. Here it is. YouTube - Frank Catt exhaust on DRB GT40

OK. The starter motor is fixed and works and the car now runs. I have recorded a video but I cannot upload it. It is a MOV file and is less than the 19MB limit. I have converted it to AVI and still cannot upload it. I can upload pictures no problem. Any ideas why I cannot upload movies? Thanks.

Just wanted to post to let you know how pleased I am with the services of Frank Catt. I have a 'slightly' modified 396 engine and am concerned about how to get under the 99dBA noise limit for IVA. I decided Frank's experience of building repackable silencers for GT40 race car's was what I...
