Afternoon gentleman, I've recently rebuilt the 427 in my SPF GT40. It's now making 546lbs TQ. When disassembling the transaxle from the engine I noticed the clutch was pretty worn especially for only 10K miles of use. What I'm looking for are the best combination of adequate clamping force...

I'm looking for opinions on Dennis's serpentine belt drive system. My car likes to eat A/C belts. I've gone through 8-10 of them since I've had the car. It's something that I kind've got used to. Well yesterday as the most recent A/C belt started to shred it took the water pump belt with it...

My window screws are starting to rust a bit. I'd like to replace them with stainless. As far as I can tell they are #6 3/8 long sheet metal screws with a flange and phillips head. Mcmaster Carr or the Ace Hardware down the street don't have them. Anybody know where I can get a box.

Looking for a clear MK II center air scoop for a SPF. The one that goes directly over the exhaust. Anyone know where I can find one? TIA Rich.

Got to thinking a day or two ago. How hard would it be to ship the 40 over to Europe, drive it around, maybe do a couple laps at the ring and ship it back. Anybody ever done this? Looking for recommendations. Rich.

After 5000+ miles I started to notice a slight seapage around the outer water pump gasket and at some of the hose clamp connections so yesterday I figured I'd pull the pump and re-gasket everything, add a little silicone, re-install and go about my day. Things did not go as easy as I thought...

Anyone know what the capacity of the MK II oil cooler is? I'm trying to figure overall capacity. Aviad pan= 6qt. Filter= ~1/2 qt. Oil cooler= ?? qt.

Bought it new from Olthoff about 6 months ago. It had been modified by them to fit a SPF hub. Not sure what else it would fit. Used it once then took it off. I paid $250. I'll sell it for $200. Rich.

I know its kind of an odd request but I've been "googling" for the last hour and yet no luck. I'm looking for a picture of the "TYFAIM" that was painted on the early competition cobras. I'm trying to replicate the font and size for a project. If anyone has a picture I'd really appreciate it...

I remember some time back a couple of guys were having issues with dragging pads in the caliper and certain bolts wanting to back out but I can't seem to find the info now. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Car will be up in the air the next couple of days for maintenance. TIA Rich.

I'm sure this has been asked/answered in the past but a recent thread about market values of our cars got me thinking about my own 40 and why I bought it. When I was about 8 my mechanic dad started employing me in his automotive repair shop. My job was to clean the shop and put away all the...

Does anybody know of the best place/price for obtaining a set of Avon 215/60/15 and 295/50/15 tires? TIA Rich.

Well Martha and I took the car to the Monterey Historics and had a great time. On Thursday night we went to the Cantina and met Dave Briggs and his wife. Had a couple of drinks and a great conversation about our cars. Dave, it was good meeting you. Hope to see you again next year. Oddly...
