Hey, I was hoping you'd be on here! It's great to "see" you again! The gravel was great. I've had a few offs on that track this year (one during my first session, right there where we passed that Panda) but that was my first time in a gravel trap and I can't say I've ever been happier to be...

Thanks! I wasnt sure if it should be paddock or track so I flipped a coin ;)

Hey guys, more of a lurker here than a poster. You know the type, I've bought some GT40 bits, thought I could start a build, sold said bits because "life", now regret selling bits, will buy more bits one day, but until then I just click around here and fill my brain with all sorts of GT40 info...

Paul: With a 3-year-old and a newborn I thought it would be too much of a hassle to get a crate made and sent off (free time, especially free days are few and far between) But Richard ended up getting it ;) Also: Granada Hubs and Spindles sold. Opel Corsa B steering column now free. Buyer...

How about a 50% price reduction to get these last two bits out of my basement? :) Steering column $25 plus shipping Hub and spindle set $50 plus shipping. Thanks!

All suspension arms, 01E, 012, reinforcement plate, camber adjusters, and scorpio carriers sold. Granada steering rack and Audi discs given away. Remaining: Opel Corsa-B steering column. Taken from an undamaged Corsa-B in a Hungarian junk-yard (removed by yours truly) $50 Ford Granada...

Suspension arms, 01e, reinforcement plate, and scorpio carriers all pending sale. Thanks everyone.

(picture of 01E to follow. I don't have enough light in the garage this time of day for a good picture)

Blame it on children, home ownership, and other projects, but I’m abandoning the idea that I’ll be able to scratchbuild a GT40 any time soon  My plan was to use my purchased chassis plans from GT-Fourte and build over time. Unfortunately I’m beginning to realize that isn’t realistically...

Darrin, I've really got to send you a six-pack or something. This is twice your threads have saved me money.

Darrin, Man, I feel like I should buy you a beer or something for putting in the legwork on these bearings. You probably saved me a month's worth of effort and countless trips to the parts store here (it's hard enough finding what I need when everyone speaks english, it's next to impossible...

No problem! I'll check the prices and send you an e-mail.

These are the specs for the Bilsteins: Width [mm]: 14,75 Width [mm]: 14,5 Inner Diameter [mm]: 29 Inner Diameter [mm]: 17,5 Outer Diameter [mm]: 50,3 Outer Diameter [mm]: 39,9 Fitting Position: Front Axle left and right Fitting Position: Rear Axle left and right Weight [kg]: 0,215 Required...

A Hungarian buddy of mine picked them up for me locally, sorry... I'll see if I can find a cross reference for ya.

I bet it's safe to use the Mark 2 bearings with those hubs. On the kit builder's site he says his uprights are a "direct replacement" for Granada 2 front uprights, and those aluminum hubs look exactly like the Granada 2 hubs I have (although I'm sure they're much much lighter). The bearings...

I think this might be what you're looking for: Wheel Bearing - Rear | 1988 Merkur Scorpio-Import 6 Cylinders V 2.9L FI | AutoZone.com If you look at the "view job diagram" link on the same page it looks like your hub.

I didn't think I should, but when I order through the site it always tacks on the dang VAT... I'll have to write Darren again (first time I tried to order, the US was not a shipping option) I have not ordered the rear A-arms yet. They were on my list to do this month with the trailing arms...

Darrin: I like the idea of the "one stop shop" possibility of GT-Fourte, but with the shipping to the states and 20% VAT it bumps the price up to $100+ that of the Wilwood setup. I may keep the Granada spindles for now to "keep the ball rolling" and then order the GT-Fourte uprights when I...

Malcom: I do believe these are the same spindles that would be found in the UK. I got them here in Hungary in trade for some used snow tires we had from a car we sold :) David: Damn, the search button gets me again! Thanks for the thread, definitely helpful.

I was just on the phone with another member here and dang if we didn't get cut off... The conversation was about brakes, but when he found out I was using Granada spindles on my GT-Fourte build, he mentioned that while many people here use Granada spindles, many are upgrading. One of the...
