Cheers guys :thumbsup:

It's been a little while.... but I've fabricated the first rear upright. Hope the other side is a bit quicker!

Hi Nick I found this info on the internet a while ago. It's for a 16v Audi engine. I'm planning on using it for my Audi ABZ engine as a starting point (looking to do Megasquirt too). Might be some use... Good luck Cheers James

Hey Frank - I am listening! I'll listen to anyone who's taken the time to comment on my build, especially you guys with a lot of experience. I get that mounting the suspension as far outboard as possible results in the least amount of bending on the wishbones. I know there have been some...

Darren was aware of the potential issue with the wishbones and used stress analysis in designing the beefier version - see here

Hi Mike Thanks for the comments. I'm following the wishbone design which others building a GT-Forte chassis are using. I've read about the Tornado wishbones bending and understand the GT-Forte design to be stronger... The tubes are 1" 12swg CDS The plate is 5mm thick and extends...

Yep, guy is called Luka and his ebay site is here

Will hopefully take delivery of these soon... Found a guy on ebay from Serbia who makes the pedals and kindly did a GT40 version with a gulf oil coloured engraved logo.

Thanks for that Mike - it does help. I didn't appreciate the shank would be a little wider - you can just about make that out in the ebay photos. Cheers Frank - I'll try and source some locally, but may be in touch! Thanks for your help chaps James

First lower wishbones done....

Hi Does anyone know what size the 4 mounting bolts are for the granada rear hub carriers please? I believe they are M10, but not sure if it's a standard or fine thread? Also, given nylocs aren't used, I'm guessing it would be a good idea to use some threadlock? Cheers James

And one for the other side....

Got the first set of wishbones done.....

THE CHASSIS IS FINISHED!!!!! Taken a bit of time, but finally got to this milestone. (The 4 coats of paint were especially tedious!) But at last I can move on to the next stage :)

Mine is an ABZ too (10 bolt). There's a photo on post 111 here. If you email TTV with what you need, they should be able to sort you out and make sure everything fits Good luck!

It was 8 years since Phil was looking at this, so hopefully he's got it sorted by now! I've got an Audi V8 and O1E, and have a flywheel from these guys... TTV Racing. The flywheel is designed to take the Audi S4 B5 clutch without the gearbox spacer

Hi Bob Looks like you're starting off on a similar path - won't be long until you're cutting and welding!. Judging by the photos of your Bugatti's, there's going to be another fine GT40 along soon. If you're near Leeds at any point, you're more than welcome to look over my build. Good...

Too many toys and not enough time :). Not long till Christmas....

Nice set of bikes :). Sounds like you're applying the N+1 formula.... what's for Christmas?!

Good spot Brett! It's my first proper road bike, which I'm really pleased with. Although it's getting a bit more action on the rollers than the road at the minute!
