Thank you for that but I think the nut I require does not use the olive. I have a nut with the olive from the jag mount and that is alot larger in size. Thanks Dave

Hello everyone I have hijacked dads account while he is at work. (dont worry admin, he knows im using it) I have a lucas 608 mirror and mount for my mk1 mini. The 608 mirror is popular with you gt40 people and I realise you normally cut down the stem and throw away the mount. If anyone...

Hi All I am using a Ford Transit Van drag link (Quinton Hazell QDL1117RHT) as the top ball joint on the front suspension of the 40. Can any one please tell me what the reamer angle should be? Some other sites say 7.15deg but that is not what I am measuring on the ball joint but I may not...

Hi All Bev and I will be there. Paul I am tolled that it can take a long time to get food there.

Hi Tim LJ57PFG was not in keeping with the car so I decided to change it to a '67 plate (BHJ388F) in the hopes that people will think it's an original one. I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Chris Bev and I are thinking of going on Sunday as long as it is not forecast to rain, will you be there? and is Neil going? Geoff

Hi Tim, 19th October sounds a better option than the 12th and Bev and I can make that date. Speak to you on Wednesday. Regards, Geoff

Hi Graham, I didn't turn my back on you intentionally - I hadn't spotted anyone taking photos. No embarrassment was caused to me but my wife thought it was highly amusing that I had been busted by being captured on camera! You should have come over for a chat. It's nearly fixed so hopefully I'll...

Re: GT40s at Dunsfold, Wings & Wheels, UK 24/08/08 Hi All Yes, it was my car on the fourth run when the gasket between the water pump and the metal plate blew out between the two bolts at the bottom which attach the plate to the pump, hence making the engine very incontinent. Photo 7 - even...

Hi Doc The big bit of metel across the back of the meter is the shunt (not the fixing bracket) hope it helps Geoff

Dave I have just got my car through SVA and the engine, a Ford 302, was identified by the casting numbers by the starter motor, photos of the numbers which I took when I rebuilt the engine and the explanation in a book I have "how to rebuild small block Ford engines" page 25 and 26. The...

Hi All Looking at photos of original GT40s (interior mirrors Lucas type) one can see the aluminium bit that is fixed to the windscreen from the outside, in other words not fitted with a black sticky pad like new mirrors. So whatever is used, it is clear in colour. Does anyone know what is...

Hi I used one from a Mk3 Mini hope it helps (got it of ebay) Geoff

Hi Thank you for the information I now understand the codes it is of help. Thanks again Geoff

Hi again Maybe this photo will help to identify the correct year as I'm confused as to whether it's an 1986 or an 1985 engine. Thanks again Geoff

Hi Thank you for the reply The numbers I have are (by the starter motor) E6SE S13A 10 (10 in big letters) and by the bell housing flange 5M7 as in my first post I think the E6SE is 1986. Is the 5M7 the number you refer to, if it is would this be 1985 DECEMBER 7th? or do I have the wrong...

Hi I know the block that I have is 1986 as the code by the starter motor has E6 but in the UK we have a cut off point for the emissions, up to July '86 it's 4.5 and from August it is 3.5. Is there a way to trace which month in that year the block was produced? Any help is appreciated...

Had such a good time last year I will there in 2008 (I hope with the GT40)
