Ok Glenn, the nut has DROIT(French for right) stamped on right side nut (LH thread)so I guess I will go with you and the Delage factory on this one. I might add the car is 1921... Spent some time looking at my bench grinder this afternoon LH and RH threads.. Will

Great thread here, will agree with Jac Mac on this one. Haven't been here for a while(GT forum) but doing a little research on this as a Vintage Delage has come into my workshop with LH threads on right side of car that doesn't seem correct to me. Regards Will

Gidday all, I have just made a mirror mount for an original style Lucas mirror for a GT40 build and ran off some extra units if anyone is interested? The stork is made from stainless steel and the mounting block is aluminium and very close to the original design. Regards Will

Hi Terry, the gearbox is an Audi 01E 6speed that is a very rare item in Australia. The large majority is imported from overseas for the GT40 kits. A surf on the forum will help provide details on the origin of the gearbox (USA,Europe,NZ). I have set up a few aftermarket limo diffs for these...

Happy New Year Ross, I would be delighted in helping a very worthy cause for your pursuit in international GT40 racing. Who knows the USA might be a possability one day. Regards Will Croll

Throghout the start of the build I was fairly worried about the fabrication of the air intake. It stands out and is always seen.Here is a couple of before and after. Rear clip back from the painters and glass fitted. Merry Christmas all Will

Hi Gus, The body is a standard RF body (no Golf flares). The cage is a bolt in standard RF 4 point. Will

Very happy with the trim work completed at Mcbride upholstery in Dromana. Will:thumbsdown:

Got the car to the painters to get some color on then the rolling chassis back to the workshop for some finishing touches to the aluminium panels before going straight down to the trimmers. Will

At this stage I am really focussed on getting as much done mechanically as possible before the car goes to the painters. Fitting up the front and rear clip plus door alignment, all went well. Seats and dash are wrapped up waiting for fitment. The plan is to get the car straight down to the...

Thanks Andrew, More parts arriving from RF2(exceptional job keeping up the supply of parts to me) and pressing on with the build now preping the engine, fitting the LSD to 6 speed sorting the gear box linkages.The development work on David's car was necessary because RF1 only really finished one...

Got the car into place for the build and drew up a job list.I wanted to finish a majority of the plumbing on the car first brakes cluch fuel and some of the water and AC.When the engine bay plumbing was finished then I could fit engine/gearbox but there is still alot of mods to do to get the 4.6...

Ok Jack you have inspired me to get going on this one and I hope it sparks your interest.Just going through all the old photos and I guess the best place to start is at the very beginning when I picked up the car from storage with new parts arriving over the following week.Engine, fuel tanks...

Many thanks for all the kind words from everyone on the thread. David Lowe’s car is the first 4.6 litre car I have built and yes, there have been some highs and lows during the build! David originally ordered the car from RF1 which was pretty much fully loaded with all the top shelf extras...

Howard I think those seats were supplied from RF. Nick that shift looks real fast.A really good looking piece of kit. Will
