Many thanks to Hershal and Bernie for visiting Oxford, Ohio. They stayed the night before the London,Ohio car show and the night after. Despite 95F temps and 90% humidity, they slaved away in my garage. Multiple minor problems were resolved. The car drives great. Thanks again guys!

Does anybody know how much 134a refrigerant to put in the system. How about the amount of oil? Any speical procedures? Do we need to vacuum test the system prior to charging it?

how does one attach the insulation material to the underside of the rear clip? Will the sikaflex hold up with the heat?

Well I'm finally getting to that point where its time to hook all the wires up to something!. While the engine was going together we talked to Jay at Motec USA. We were debating whether to actually install crank and cam sensors or to use a EFI distributor that would send the info to the Motec...

Two quick dumb questions. What to do with the heater ports coming off of the water pump? What are the fittings on the back of the intake manifold for?

Hello Ron I can't do a search going further back than One year. Hershal has a lot of good posts which are older. Could you please extend the search time frame parameter? Thanks

Hello Robert and Hershal. I'm really stuck as to how to connect the hoses to the flared fittings on the evaporator. I don't see an adaptor listed in the parts list nor have I found one. Please advise. Thanks.

We met up with Hershal last Sunday at the DVSF last weekend. Only one GT40 was there! Lots of neet Cobras. Hershal stopped at our place on his way home ( Columbus, Ohio to Phoenix,Arizona > 2000 miles!) where I was able to pick his brain and photograph the inside of his car. This should...

Has anyone have experience using an engine dyno with the Motec unit. Does Motec make a wiring harness for doing engine dyno?

Hey, just curious about this lock washer for the rear turnion nut. The manual says it goes on after the nut. Do you peen it in place? I'm 90% sure that's the way it goes.

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I would show the reverse progress. We have been dissambling to get the body ready for painting. Fuel system is pretty much in. Can't hook up the swan necks until after the body is painted.

Ok, I'm been somewhat of a diletante at posting pictures of my car. I took delivery the middle of September and have been working diligently ever since. Unfortunately, most of the work was not detectable by mere photography, thus my reluctance to post. This all changed after a visit by Hershal...

Many thanks to Hershal Byrd for spending the last 4 days helping me with my RFGT40. Hershal has saved me weeks of head scratching an aggravation. Thanks also to Jerry Jansing for joining us last thursday and friday. My youngest son, Christian, can hardly wait for Hershal to come back so he...

Started working on the fuel system and was wondering what folks are doing stateside with the line for the carbon canisters?

Has anyone had any trouble inserting the rear wheel bearing in the trunion of a RF. I've tried heating the trunion with a propane torch and placing the bearing in the freezer, still can't get it to fit.

Just thought I would share a picture of our building experience. I can't think of anyother activity where I can get all three of my sons to work together, peacefully, for extended periods of time.

Just got back from the Run and Gun. What a great car event. Unfortunately, I did'nt get there until Saturday so I missed the road race and autocross event. I understand one gt40 won the road race in its class. I met Robert Logan there. His knowledge of GT40s is truley impressive and he is a...
