Hi Jay, That's the sensor for the electronic speedo and can run up to 1.0 mm clearance. The bracket just tweaking Rgds, Andy

Have a look here how I did mine: https://www.gt40s.com/threads/norfolk-tornado.24109/post-383448 Rgds, Andy

Hi Ryan, mine was orginally supplied with a Rover engine and I converted it to a SBF. You need to keep the position of the driveshaft and then fabricate new engine mounts to suit. Covered in my build log from a few years ago: https://www.gt40s.com/threads/norfolk-tornado.24109/ Rgds, Andy

Hi Mark, glad to see you finally got your P4 finished. The HVAC unit I had off you has been doing sterling work over the last 10 years I've had my '40 on the road! Rgds, Andy

AK Sportcars, who are not far away in Peterborough, have their open day this Saturday and their current demonstrator has a Coyote engine with Jenvey throttle bodies, so would be worth a visit to discuss options Rgds, Andy

These are a good alternative & well priced: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/door-latches/0687174?searchId=87663c3d-5de4-437d-85ab-75475f17ab9c&gb=s Rgds, Andy

Hi Jerry, great progress being made, but regardless of where you fit your electric waterpump, the EWP80 you've selected will be marginal for a 302 V8. The EWP 140 or 150 would be more suitable. However these pumps aren't that reliable (I've had 2 failures & I know colleagues who've had similar...

Small and unobtrusive, chrome ring available for a period look Rgds, Andy https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/micro-28mm-round-push-in-led-side-repeaters-pair

Hi all, It’s really nice to see the appreciation for these parts I’ve supplied and that there’s still a demand for them. However, to avoid all the politics and earache I’ve had on their previously supply, I will continue to make them available through Jon & Neil at AK Sportscars, who can handle...

Hi Marcus, probably worth reading my old post on electric waterpumps https://www.gt40s.com/threads/norfolk-tornado.24109/post-580260 Rgds, Andy

Hi, although not original, I'm currently building one using a handbrake lever from a BMW-MIni, mainly selected as the lever ratio, is much higher than either a more period Anglia/Mini item. This coupled with a Wilwood handbrake caliper, there's a good chance it will get through an IVA Rgds, Andy

End of Year catch-up Other than routine maintenance on the ’40, I’ve not had to carry out any major work on it since it’s been on the road for the last 5 years and 12,000 miles. However, last year I’d had a failure of the electric water-pump, which was a Davies Craig EWP130. This is the second...

I remote mount the oil pressure sensor & warning light onto the bulkhead using -3AN braided hose giving better access & less chance of the wires getting damaged Rgds, Andy

I believe it may be on the IVA application form, but it's most likely to be checked at the IVA inspection that the tyres are fit for purpose Rgds, Andy

If you're using braided hoses (Aeroquip etc.) for the flexible lines, you won't have a problem, however the hoses from the reservoir to the master cylinders have to have the correct markings. CBS sell the correct grade required Speed ratings on the tyres have to be higher than the declared...

Hi Darren I believe they're early Ford Transit track rod ends (M18x1mm thread) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175156405488?fits=Car+Make%3AFord%7CModel%3ATransit&epid=248925066&hash=item28c822a4f0:g:s7EAAOSwaShiCMXI Rgds, Andy

As the car rolls for 6-8", I would be looking at the driveshaft roll-pins to see if they haven't moved causing the driveshaft to lock-up Rgds, Andy

Looking great guys, gearbox being used is the Quaife ZFQ Regards, Andy

What are 'gas ported' pistons? What's the advantage of a polished the valley? Rgds, Andy
