    Radiator Shroud and Plumbing

    An outstanding job, you must be very pleased with the finished product. In my opinion the quality is too good to be powder coated. Out of interest, do the cooling pipes, from the original GT40s run through the centre of the car, or round by the fuel pods?

    AGM 2011 with Donington Track Day

    Thanks very much for the info guys, I am planning to book two spaces tomorrow for the Donnington event but I've noticed that it says Ford V8s only. I'm thinking of taking 2 of my Lolas (have 4 in total t70s) and both of these have SBC units. Do you think this would be a problem? Thanks Keith

    Mario Andretti's 1966 mk2 T70 Lola

    Hi Johan I've managed to get NOS Hewland Bellhousing which fits directly on the FE engine and the LG500. I believe Hewland called this a LG/Galaxy bellhousing. Thanks for trying anyway.

    Mario Andretti's 1966 mk2 T70 Lola

    I am not too far from Lola base. I will be in the Cambridge area at the end of the month anyway seeing Tony Waterman & Chris fox about the car, so I can not see this as a problem. I have in storage 2 FE (blown) engines (part spares when I had my Cobras) what info do you require regarding bolt...

Regard to the gearbox, I would like to use the car for semi competition which would involve road use. I would like to turn her back...

    Is that a manual, auto or a pre-select gearbox? Does this set up require a clutch?

    Mario Andretti's 1966 mk2 T70 Lola

    All my records indicate that this car had a Hewland auto box, I'm just not sure which type? One source of information mentions an automatic. However, another source mentions that this did not have a automatic box but instead had a torque converter and a two speed jump box? Any ideas what this...
