Hi all, The bushing that holds the steering rack pinion 'shaft' at the outer end, has perished. That means there's quite a bit of slop, both unsafe and not helping the steering feeling. I've been told by CAV that this was a cortina 1977 'thin tube' steering rack, and i'm hoping to source the...

Hello all, As an engineering challenge to myself, I'm going to attempt to strip and hack into a set of Chinese 48 IDFs or 44 IDA's, and see if I can modify the body to contain fuel injectors. (and adding a throttle position sensor etc.) Basically, I want to see if I can engineer myself...

Hello guys, simple question that should have a simple answer.. I have an early pre-100 CAV GT, and i'm busy revamping the suspension front and back. All rod-ends were worn, some seized, rubbers tearing, etc. Also the wishbones themselves have developed quite a bit of corrosion, so I stripped...

Gents, Just wanted to share my great experience with CAV last week. I bought an older generation CAV (Chassis 22) built in 2003, and wanted to rejuvenate her. After some very pleasant emails back and forth (speedy too) Jordi at CAV convinced me this was the right place to drop the car of. I...

Gents, After recently becoming a GT40 owner, #22 CAV, I have to start thinking about making the car compliant to Dutch regulations. When I leave south-africa in a year's time, the car is coming with, but some mods required to make it legal. Easy ones are: indicators on the sides, rear fog...

Hello guys, I'm pretty sure I've been on this forum, reading, learning and dreaming for the best part of 10 yrs. Now that I'm officially part of the GT40 family, i thought it might be good to introduce myself. My name is Jasper, born and raised in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. 35jrs old...
