Just wondering if this ID plate is normal on GTD's or is it an invention from the builder of the car ? Regards, Andy

Hi Guys, Looking for some advice which procedure to use to setup initial the suspension. I am not talking about caster, camber or toe yet but the position of each wheel in order to get a symmetrical thrust line (x,y position). Lets says x-direction is the driving direction. And y-direction...

After installing the new suspension components on my GTD (arms, bolts and rods), I noticed some play on the rear wheel. Tracking down the source of the play, it looks like there is some radial play in new rodends. With this amount of play on the wheel will not pass the technical inspection in...

Looking for a set of used but still good rims fitting on a GTD40. With or without rubbers... Straight, no wobbles, 5 bolts standard GTD40. Since located in Belgium, only source Europe and UK is feasible (shipping costs).

Hi, Looking for one Silvolite 1177-040 piston in good condition. Living in Belgium. Was installing new rings and felt a binding feeling of one rod in the piston. It rotates but can feel there is flat spot in the rotation. Can't be good. :furious: Was planning to go to the balancing shop...

Rebuilding a ford 302 with Edelbrock RPM heads. There is one spring broke and instead of ordering a complete set, I was wondering if someone had only 1 spring for sale (or 2) in good condition. Edelbrock partnumber for the kit is 5845.

Trying to salvage a ford 302 which had a failing cam and lifter. It was full of mud, looked like grid blast stuff. Cleaned everything and now seeing if it makes sense to rebuild it. When I installed the crankshaft and fit the caps, with this engine I am not able to turn the crank with lot of...

Noticed a significant mis-alignment of the UN1 to the engine. The hole in the copper bush on the crankshaft is oval which looks strange to me... For sure I miss some dowel pins. The small top dowel pin on the gearbox picture is something I trial fitted myself (looks to be 8 mm on the gearbox...

Let me start some discussion on the GTD40 rear suspension geometry and camber (with the original chassis). On assembly of the rear suspension, I noticed the top arm was quite inclinated. This means on compression, the camber will become progressively stronger. Something which is needed but too...

The GTD seams to have a Triumph Dolomite Steering column. I was wondering, when I tighten the nut to lock the position (vertical movement of the steering wheel), it locks this movement but it doesn't lock the sliding movement of the steering column itself...I can still pull the steering wheel...

Last year I searched and found a GTD40 which looked like a driveable car, not the greatest looks but with a nice aged patine.... On closer inspection, I noticed the build quality was not up to my standards but nothing serious to worry about...so the restoration project took off. With each item...

I noticed some water in the fuel tanks probably due to condensation (during ventilation). :veryangry: I was wondering if someone is using a water fuel separator ? And if so, which brand ? A separator which can be drained ? What if the drain starts to leak ? Looking for some experience...

Hi fellow GT40 enthusiast, For about 12 years ago, started to Look to build or restore a Gt40. But prices at that time were out of reach for me and first started to build a Cobra. This was a good learning experience and forced myself to go into the details by building my own engines mainly ford...

Since the forum is my sole information source, hope there are people who can help me with the research how to convert a GTD40 MKIII into a MKI. Regards
