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...

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...

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...

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...

Can anyone recommend a program for drawing/ designing car wiring diagrams please. Ease of use, ability to automatically link across multiple pages, all that sort of stuff. I would be interested to hear of your success with using one of these programs if they exist. Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get one of these adjusters from in the UK? The type which is basically a tube threaded with a right hand thread in one end, and a left hand thread in the other. A r/h and a l/h rose joint can then be attached to either end. Someone must have them ready made in the...

A question to UK builders - I am looking for an alternator to use which is smaller than the usual US ones. I have a Summit V8 Ford alternator, but it is too long. It is too long by about 5mm, but 5mm offset on the belt is too much. This is with the back of the alternator body hard up against the...

After searching the forum and the web, I'm still not sure how to wire my alternator. I have 2 spade terminals marked 1R and 2F and a stud terminal marked R and BAT. The alternator is a Summit Ford item. The best thread I could find on this subject was here...

I have just torqued up my new ARP studs - part 254-4110 - on my C3 heads. Then I went to check the fit of the rocker arm mounts, and discovered that those very same studs are in the way! Have I got the wrong studs, or is it a recognised necessary modification to shorten the studs to allow...

My cylinder heads are currently being assembled which is one of the few jobs I have farmed out to other people. I don't know what happened, but I got a call today to say a couple of the valves are bent. There were no signs of this previously, so maybe someone dropped them, or stood on them...

After the thread about Vista I wondered if I could pick your brains on a variation. We need new PCs at work for running some rather hefty Microsoft Access databases, and I am trying to find out what makes Access work quickly. We are connected to a network, and obviously running with any...

I am currently building up my engine, and would like to get the big end bolts tightened properly. Does anyone in UK have a stretch gauge I could borrow. I am happy to pay for any postage which would be incurred, and would return within a week. Any help appreciated.

Must be one of the most basic questions ever asked on here, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Does it matter which way round a Holley Double Pumper is installed? Should the fuel inlets be on the left or right? Thanks

Not sure what I've done, but when I click on the show new posts icon at the start of a thread, I get directed to random places within the thread. I also notice at the right hand side is the word permalink in brackets. Any idea what that is all about?

I am using a Danny Bee drive belt with remote electric water pump, and want to maximise the water flow into the engine. The water pipes from the pump attach to the drive belt cover as shown in picture below. The previous owner had 3/4 NPT threaded fasteners in the water inlet holes, but I don't...

I don't recall seeing any measurements anywhere for how far apart to space the instruments. Anyone got any clues on what the spacings should be? I suppose centre to centre for Tacho to the two either side, centre to centre for the other batch of 3 instruments, and some sort of reference...

When putting together my front bearing to steering knuckles (Corvette 86ish) I notice that the holes in the bearing and in the knuckle are different sizes. The holes in the bearing are about 12mm, while the holes in the knuckle are about 10mm. Do they use a special bolt for this job, or do you...

This might be a bit long winded, but please hold on. On the old board it would indicate which Forums had new posts since last logging on. That continues in the new board. However, If I chose not to look into a particular forum on a particular visit, the board would remember the Forums I had...

I hope it's OK to post this here. As part of my son's school's fund raising effort, they turn their playground into a Car Park each year for the Grand Prix. It is in the village, on the High Street, a short walk from the circuit. As a result there is a good atmosphere. Also the playgrounds...
