Hello to Australian Constructors, I’m having trouble finding suitable Australian compliant seatbelts for my DRB, although I assume the problem applies to all GT40s here. The ones I have require mounting vertically, which makes them stick out from the bulkhead way too far and look ridiculous...

Hello There, Are there any gurus out there that know about engine crankcase and fuel tank ventilation and recycling systems? Apparently, with my blown motor, the engine bay can become coated with oil from the engine breathers, due to blow-by, so an oil catch can is necessary. The catch can...

Hello there, I’m looking for some advice please. I’m trying to source a reversing light switch for my GT40, but can’t find any mention of one in the ZF gearbox manual (5DS-25/2). Does such a thing exist? If not, what have other ZF (or other gearbox) owners done? Clever ideas welcome...

Hello there, I know it’s not the “standard”, but does anyone have images of a GT40 which has had the flat area of the engine cover under the rear window opened right up to showcase the engine? I’m thinking of doing this to mine. A bit more like the MkIV(?) I believe. Bit of a shame to...

Hello there, Can anybody help me with this, please? I'm after an email address or phone number of someone that I can contact to get some information on Cole Hersee rotary switches, so that I can buy a couple for my car. There's no help from the distributors in Oz and no reply from the states...

Hello All, I’m just back in Australia from holidays and trying to get used to reality again. We spent four weeks in Europe and had a great time. My wife’s nursing graduation group gets together every few years for a re-union and the last time it was agreed that the next get together would be...

Hello There, A few months ago someone posted a link to a very small video camera, which was shown mounted on a model plane. I'm looking to buy one, but can't find the thread again. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Lance

I’m know I’m going over old ground again, but just in order to confirm, I'd appreciate some input from those more expereienced. I’ve had my ZF inverted, but I’m checking the work that’s "been done". The place that did it was a bit casual about the whole thing and I want to be sure that it’s been...

Would this brand new, just fabricated, custom GT40 muffler be of interest to anyone? If so, please make an offer. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p> It’s a stainless steel muffler with 2 x inbuilt cat converters. 2 x 3” in, 2 x 2 1/2” out...

A few queries for you knowledgeable chaps out there. I note that, usually, in the GT40 exhaust systems I’ve seen the O2 sensor is connected into one branch of the exhaust, which means it’s reading only half of the motor. My thought is that it would be best for it to be reading all cylinders...

I note that KW or KWautomotive, UK offer a lift kit for coilovers. Before I cover old ground, has anyone used KW's product on a GT40? I have AVOs and will need to check sizes, etc, but I've been looking for something for a while now. Regards, Lance

I've been looking for a Fiat XI9 bonnet (hood) latch lever set to open the front and rear clips on my car. I'm using internal and external latches on both. The XI9 unit is neat and has two levers in one unit, but are a bit scarce on the ground here in Perth. It's just visible in the bottom of...

I’m starting to design and build a turkey pan for my MK I. Mine will be T shaped, and the body opening shaped similarly, to suit the blower and the throttle body / air filter configuration. I’m wanting to pretty much seal off the area between the bodywork and the window, but it occurs to me...

I'll be installing three clip latches on my car. Two for the rear clip, as in the attached image and incorporating work lights, and one for the front clip. I'm hunting around for suitable latches now but, to save some time, could other forum members advise me on what latches / source cars they...

I'm having trouble locating a couple of switches for my GT40 and I'm hoping someone happens to know of a couple that would suit my use. Both switches are rotary switches to suit 12V electrics, so nothing exceptional required. The functionality is the problem. One switch is to select the...

We've just had a long weekend here in Western Australia. Each year, on this weekend, the Vintage Sports Car Club of Western Australia holds an around-the-houses event and hillclimbs at the very pleasant south coast town of Albany here in Western Australia. I can thoroughly recommend it. A very...

Chaps, I'm hoping someone may be able to help out with an issue that has raised it's ugly head here in Australia, apparently. The back ground, as it has been explained to me, is that petrol here is now sold with a 10% alcohol component. Stretching fossil fuels and all that. It was...

Chaps, A bit of an unusual query. I'm using the electric mirror control from a GU II Nissan Patrol in my car. They have quite a neat arrangement. I'm trying to locate a copy / scan of the wiring diagram page for the switch and mirrors from a workshop manual. Haynes do one, but I can't find...

Chaps, I'm looking at purchasing a fuse / relay block for my car. This very nice modular example by Vehicle Wiring Products out of the UK has been suggested. It looks the business and I'm happy to go with it, but thought I'd check the forum. Before I order out of the UK, does anyone know of...

GENERAL Several people have asked me to supply a few more details about my car. These posts are in response to that. I’ve broken them down into topics so that the posts aren’t too large and so that, if there are any queries or requests for more details, it all doesn’t get too out of hand. I...
