Congratultions Chris and Kip. The legacy carries on and the cars... Lola T70 - McLaren M6GT, ashtonishing to say the least! Cheers Ian

Hi Randy, The Hi\Low temperature setting is a function of the Tiny Waterpump Controller and responds to the temperature input from your sensor(s) on the engine, radiator. Additionally the A/C pump relay can to trigger your rad fan relay. It does help the cooling system to stay ahead of...

Hi Randy, Have you checked in the instructions for hi/low temperatures settings for the fans? If so (most likely it does) then you have no need for a fan off over ride switch. Cheers Ian

Hi Mark, Can you check your PCD dimension please? I believe the correct pattern is 6 holes on 4.25 pcd. Also may have something for you on the uprights. Cheers Ian

Hi Louis, It's advisable to keep driveshaft angularity to a minimum at ride height (fully loaded and aligned). However there are many variables. Rather than hijack the thread I will send you a pm. Perhaps there is already a thread on the forum about this very topic? Cheers Ian

Hi Pat, Devin, Yes there is no need for the bulge in the firewall with the Davies Craig Waterpump Adaptor kit. I know this for a fact (can't show any pictures - yet!). Makes a very clean front of engine area. Pat, It's easier in the long run to install the engine and transaxle as an assembly...

Hi Pat, The Davies Craig Adaptor is the tidiest, low profile method of connecting an electric waterpump to a small block Ford. It makes more room everywhere for ancillaries such as alternator, a/c compressor and power steering pump. With GT40 applications the "over the counter" mounting...

Hi Pat, Check out the Davies Craig Waterpump Adaptor kit, PDF attached. It may be just what you're looking for. Quality parts too. Cheers Ian

Hi Thomas, The solution involves strengthening the motor and transaxle mounts, not the fault of the transaxle (Quaife or ZF/RBT). Your chassis production number and whatever work was done during the fitting of the drivetrain will dictate what modifications are possible to the parts on the car...

Mid engine cars are just more complicated compared to front engine/rear drive or rear engine rear/drive. Even the OEMs have challenges with engine compartment heat, reduced lifespan of soft parts in the engine compartment, plumbing, cooling, wiring, a/c and tool access for routine maintenance...

Bravo Andy! Make more in the next batch:) Cheers Ian

Hi Jay, It's a good idea to specify PTFE lined bearings for all applications (except throttle linkage). They require no lubrication however should not be left dirty or wet. Normally the premium paid for PTFE lined bearing also reduces the chance of buying a low grade part. Nylon lined bearings...

Hi Randy, The EWP (electric water pump) has to be near the engine and as close the floor as possible. There is room in rear portion of the RCR sill boxes for a remote pump, typically one side is used for the battery. Packaging can be a challenge as you've probably found out:) The...

Simply amazing, bravo!

Hi Randy, Here's a pic of the RCR GT40 in our shop. It also does not use the front half of the roll hoop. It's not a track car. The lower portion of the dash was trimmed up (like the race cars) so carpeting could be fitted to the exposed part of the cowl bridge. The dashes in these cars (like...

Hi Randy, You are going to have an awesome car, that's for sure:) You will find the body panels and dash have plenty of extra flange area to trim for fit. The extra area is left over from the molds. The excess flange also protects the parts in shipping, and during the assembly process. It...

Hi Nick, Been down that road, fortunately it's not a difficult job. Having the float gauge is a real bonus. A) Doesn't the need carburetor removed unless you want to check the gaskets between the carb base and the manifold. However the gasket between the carb top plate and body should be...

Hi Joel, There are threads on the forum detailing how to set up the throttle linkage for 4) Weber 48IDA intake systems. There's also information about choosing emulsion tubes and jets that do not apply to EFI systems. Those threads are worth reading regardless if you have an individual runner...

Hi Brian, Good point about "everything right and fuel is equally distributed" No position of the EGO sensor will compensate for intake related synchronization problems between throttle bores and or intake ports in the head. Everything must be right. Cheers Ian

Hi Vinny That is true unless you have leaks going into the collectors. We're dealing with slip collectors here. The same goes with a four into one header (four cylinder) or either side of a V8 side pipe (Cobra etc). If your header collector leaks you must go up the pipe to get a proper...
