RF 44 For Sale After a lot of soul searching over the last few months, I have come to the conclusion that there are just not enough hours in the day to dedicate to building a GT 40. The car was bought as a complete kit from RF by Ron Earp and I bought it from him about a year and a half...

Has anyone here found a way to check alignment of the 016 transaxle to the motor? In a regular manual transmission application you simply use a dial indicator to check the bell housing so the input shaft of the transmission is square to the crank. I do not see a way to do that with a transaxle...

I have set my block and transaxle into the frame and I have a couple of questions about the location. My driveshafts will be offset about 2 1/8" between the transaxle and wheel as it now sets. The transaxle is rearward to the wheel. Is this typical on other RF? Also, what are you guys using...

I found this while looking at the Barrett Jackson site and wondered if anyone is familiar with this car. I did not find it mentioned in Ronnie Spain's book. The numbers only go to 1086 and then jump to M3/1101. Any thoughts what it will sell for...

Well, I just unwrapped my speedo cable to test fit it on the speedometer. It slipped on nice and easy, but now I can't get it off! I tried pushing and pulling and squeesing the nylon part and nothing works. I do not want to force it. There must be some secret to removing it.

I found this on the Camaro site and thought you guys might get a kick out of it! http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=63551

Has anyone heard of this organization? I found an add in Vintage Motorsports a while back and e-mailed them for some additional info. They finally responded after 5 weeks. Looks like they might put on a fun event. http://www.chra.cc/index2.htm

I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly, but I want to make the dzus fasteners on my RF look like the originals. Does anyone have one of the original fasteners with the tab on it that could post the profile? This is the best picture I could find and it is not enough for me to get the correct...

Does anyone know if there is a light that goes in the small 16mm hole that is under the large hole in the center of the lamp where the halogen bulb goes? I did not see anything in the RF manual on this.

After searching for many weeks around the internet, I found a source for the 016. I must have called at least 20 places before I found this company. Either they did not have the 016 or if they did they wanted $1600.00 plus for them, not rebuilt! http://www.talleytransinc.com/ I spoke with...

I was ready to install my head lights and I found I was missing the bracket that holds the headlight in place. I e-mailed Robert on May 25th and it was on my doorstep when I arrived home from work today...at no charge. That is what I call customer service. Thanks Robert!

I'm getting ready to install weather stripping on the spider where it meets the rear clip. Is this the same weather stripping that is used on the doors? If so which method did you use to install it. I would like to here why each of these approches were used, but most importantly, which...

As I read the everyones posts on this forum I wondered how many RF's are complete and how many are still under construction. I also wondered when you thought you would be finished with your cars.

I found this thread on a Camaro site I visit. I thought I would post it here as a reminder to everyone that you CAN NOT be to careful. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=56048

In our never ending search to find a source for gears for the 016 transaxle, I found a company in Memphis Tenn called Gear& Mechine Specialty C0. www.specialtygear.com I spoke with Glen Sipe. He seemed very knowlegable with Ford GT 40's. He has made gears for Holman Moody in the past for...

While laying out the radiator hoses at the front of the car today I found that the hoses run very close to the master cylinders for the brakes and clutch. In fact there is only 1/2" clearance between the aluminium pipe that the hoses connects to and the bottom of the master cylinder for the...

I might be getting a little ahead of myself but while looking at my car I notice that the rear wheels are set beyond the center or the wheel opening in the body towords the back of the car. The suspension is only roughed in and not adjusted at all. I measured the distance of the back of the rear...
