I was working on the car and found this on the passenger footwell under the area of the speedo and fuse box...a clip of sorts measuring about 3/4" long by 1/2" wide. Any idea what it belongs to?

I have a desire to finally change out the rear plastic bulhead window for the glass one I bought some 15 years ago. Finally. I am trying to figure out what the roof vent tube is attached to inside the inner plastic vent housing. It seems to me that the inner plastick housing is glued in place...

I was in my garage and found a GT40! It is one I have owned for some 17 years, but rarely drive. I made my mind up to change that this coming year and decided to move it to another outbuilding where I will see it more often and give it the attention it deserves. Basically a "barn find" in...

It has been 2+ years since I started and drove my Superformance GT40 MKII (standard Roush 427 single carb/RBT setup). Life had me focused in other areas. I have been storing it in a heated garage up on a lift. I think I put Stabil in the fuel system back then...not sure. I have had the...

I have a SPF with 351 based 427. I had some coolant leaks behind the bulkhead that lost about a quart to half gallon of coolant. Now a few months later, I need to move the car from the hangar to my new workspace. I started up the car to run it (without topping off teh coolant), and the water...

Dave Friedman's collection was acquired by Ford a few years ago. I had communicated with Dave in an attempt to buy some photos of the GT40s. I just happened to follow up to find that some of the collection is now on flicker. Here is a link to galleries of his photos...some good stuff here...

I keep my car in a hangar that has no electricity. The temps recently got down in the high 20s F. I went to check the car today and the area under the seats was pooled with coolant. No puddles under the car. I had no tools nor flashlight and the light was getting poor. All I could do was to...

Not wench... Well, I got my trailer and now I need to install a winch on it to pull the car up backwards. Looking for tips, recommendations, etc. I read that Warn makes good products. Any help is appreciated... Mike

I grabbed my favorite morning snack - a fresh slightly green banana and started to peel the skin only to find that the normal Chiquita sticker had been replaced by an advert for a movie "Rio, from the makers of Ice Age, only in theaters". Is nothing sacred? Where does this shit end?

I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee (straight 6 - no trans cooler - no tow package). I was hoping to find a lightweight trailer so that it could pull the GT40 a few times a year . Oh, and by the way, I live in southern California and southern Oregon. I have the Siskiyou mountains and the Grapevine to...

My gauge was tracking fine - full range. During one fuel stop on my last trip it wouldn't go above 2/3 full and now this condition persists. It tracks fine below 2/3 full. Anyone know where the sender is located? Mike

Well, we drove the car back from LA to Oregon using the 101 and stopping overnight for a wine binge at Morgan Hill. We experienced some 100 degree heat and the A/C kept up. We learned to pack better and it was a bit more comfortable. We made 3.5-4.0 hours at a time and stopped only three...

I have a couple hundred shots - mostly Porsche stuff. I was great to see the 550s, Rss, 904s, 906s, 908s...9117s in action...what a thrill.

Last thing I did on the car this weekend was fix my missing turn indication. As suggest (by Jack I think) the bulb had not been placed in the receptacle and worked its way out. Now, it was very difficult to see let alone fix. There is absolutely no space from underneath from which to...

While installing the wireless backup camera on my car, I noticed how much deris was stuck between the spoiler and the body of the car. There are six fasterners that hold this on and they act to press the painted spoiler agains the painted clamshell. Any small debris works it's way into the...

Another thing I did today was install a rear view wireless video camera so that I could get a hint of what was behind me. This was a cheapo setup from Costco - less than $80. Included in the package was the small camera with mounting bracket, a 3.5" color LCD with two powering options (hardwire...

This turned out to be an easy fix - especially if you are one of those contortionists that can fit your entire body into a shoe box. This took 30 minutes at most. It takes a 1/2" socket only. I am 5' 8" on a good day. My pedals were set up to the farthest forward location and I had to...

I have a mechanical pump on my car, and I want to use the switched fuel pump wiring in the loom to power something else located at teh abck of the car. I am looking at the SPF supplied info and looking for a loom breakout with some unused wire - no joy. I have an early LH Drive MKII. Can...

I live most of the time in a spot just about the mid-point between these two racetracks. I want to start participating in track events to get some miles in my car and some experience driving it at speed. Can anyone who does this at PIR or Thunderhill tell me what car club(s) are the ones...
