Hi I'm biting the bullet and removing the servos from my car, but I'm having trouble deciding on master cylinder sizes (I've read loads of threads on here, but thats left me with more questions than answers, hence this post). My setup is pretty common (i think), so would be great to hear from...

Hi I'm desperately trying to get my car ready for Classic Le Mans (we leave in a week's time!!) and one of my top ball joints is past its best. It is a Tornado, but SGT replaced the front wishbones about 10 years ago Does anybody have any ideas as to what car the ball joints will be off...

Hi all We will be attending the show again this year, so we're after volunteers to provide their cars, and volunteers to man (or woman!) the stand. As you would expect, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the organisers have come up with a whole heap of safety provisions in order to make the...

Hi One of my rear wheel bearings is groaning. Does anybody know what type it will be - it's an early Tornado? I'm guessing its a Granada mk 2? Thanks! Darren

Dear fellow enthusiasts It's that time of year again... Dick Townsend and I are organising the event for the club. We're looking for volunteers to man the stand at this years Classic Motor Show at the NEC. Volunteers get complementary entry tickets. We also need 6 cars to go on the...

Hi all We have secured a stand in the Premium Hall again, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche. The show theme is 'Family Values', so we're hoping to have at least one non-GT40 period Ford sports car on the stand too. Andrew Komosa has kindly...

Hi Having completed all of the mechanical and cosmetic bits on my car, I thought I'd treat her to a professional suspension setup as the handling has significantly deteriorated since she was lowered (she handled OK, but not brilliantly before) The chap I took it to prepares race cars for the...

Hi I have the privilege of organising one of the gates at the Asda "On Your Marks" charity track day on 6th August. This is an amazing event, which has been supported by various GT40 owners over the years. The event is at Bruntingthorpe, near Leicester. It's an extravaganza - up to 350...

Hi I have 1 year old starter for my 302 - it's the type without an integral solenoid. It has worked ok since being installed, but now (more often than not) it fails to engage and just spins (i.e. the bendix is not thrown). I've checked it and all seems to be OK. I've checked the wiring and...

Hi I desperately need a photo of a Mk 2 - if possible a photo very similar to the one at the top of this page (P1040?). Ideally, it should be a similar angle to the attached photo (please ignore the reflection - this has been artificially added, and needs to be adjusted...!) This photo...
