Thanks Jimbo, but I don't have a house in Vt. or Pa. You do mean I should register the car there, right? Ray

Hi, My CAV GT40 was registered in Arizona as a '66 Ford Coupe. When I bought it quite a few years ago, I registered it in New York, also as a '66 Ford. In New York, Titles are not issued to cars older than '73. Instead, we get a "transferrable" certificate of registration, which is the document...

Fran, my neurologist finally gave me the OK to drive too, so double the celebration points after fixing the clutch leak prob. Thanks to all the responses to this thread, I've gotten the fix I needed this weekend! Car's running great! Now, I'm wondering if I should change the tranny oil, at...

Finally got the roll pin out and carefully tapped the old slave cylinder out. It was in bad shape, really old-looking, kinda rusty, and leaking. Put the new $22 slave cyl. in, filled the reservoir to the top with synthetic brake fluid, bled it, and test drove the car. Perfectly good now; bled...

I tried to hammer the pin that holds the slave in the hole with no luck! Then again, it's been years since the build of this tranny, I guess. I've sprayed it with a catalyst soak lube; we'll see what happens after another week. Otherwise, I may have to drill the pin out! Any other suggestions...

As Mark Clapp suggested, I have ordered the part from rockauto.com, got it in 2 days and checked the part against what's in the transaxle. That's what it is! so I plan on changing the slave cylinder this week...I'll report, hopefully with pics.:drunk:

thanks all, I think I'll look much closer and see if I can do what Mark is suggesting. I'll see if I can loosen up and remove the slave from the top and replace it... Again, thanks for all your help. I'll post what happens...Cheers!

My friend drove my CAV GT40 70 miles east to my summer home for the winter today with me in the passenger seat. I'm not allowed to drive because of of a cycling accident (a car hit me) until another month but that's another story. Anyway, I kept asking what's the matter as he was having a...

Not yet, Jesse. I got new shoes for the Cobra instead...Nittos. Got a lot of flak for that but hey, they handle superbly! I'm saving up for Avons...it's only right.:drunk:

Unfortunately. the Toyo 15s are available only up to 235s...:sad: I think I need 245 fronts and 295 rears.

Yes, you're right, Pat. I actually had a set of Nitto drag radials on my old Cobra and they were pretty good. Picked up a lot of stones, though.

Hello CAV GT40 friends! I've been away a while but back in action... Took a spirited drive yesterday and seems like the old Good Year rubber is just not good enough anymore. Perhaps it's time for a new set of tyres. What's the latest and the greatest for our 15" BRMs? Don't say Avon...I just...

I got 2 in the UK a couple of years ago and used one. I think they are correct...I'm sure my friend JacMac can tell but anyway, it looks good enough for me. The other 2 pair I got are the little ovals that go on the side quarter panel next to the clip lock...I see it on eBay for over $300! Holy cow!

I have a vintage set if you need it, PM or email me. It has the posts but you can grind them flat and use gorilla glue.

I, for one, would greatly appreciate a PDF copy of the shop manual. I have the owner's manual but the shop manual would come in handy.

A good weekend project... I thought I'd share this with my CAV friends. I took all the plexiglass from the car and masked all but 5/8" to the edges. (inside surfaces). A bit tricky but patience and good blue masking tape resulted in a satisfactory tape job:drunk: Cleaned thoroughly with...

Congrats! So where's the link to your video and what's it about? driving? wrenching?

Hey Jac, I sold 6 Mini Coopers so I could go for the Coupe but time and the economy caught up with me. The $ have now gone to bills. And my dear bride refuses to get a new car (lease is up) unless it's a hybrid. When I changed the venturis to 40s, it really pepped up the response but as soon as...

Thanks for the pics, Jean. Those motor and tranny mounts certainly look the bit. Just to make sure before I place my order, do the motor mounts bolt on directly to existing holes in the chassis (pre-100 car)? Race day pic looks awesome!
