    McLaren M20#73

    Hi Devin, no reserve button. They don't have a long cranking cycle time(obviously due to there small size) hence it will have jumper battery assistance in the pits. Also orientation is not an issue. Battery man said keep it topped up by the battery charger. A.

    While I wait for parts I've made a start on the wiring. As a whole it looks a bit daunting but once you break it down in it's separate components it's OK.( I have been reading the 300 page MS3PRo manual for some years now. I've just mounted most of the Electical components and will start to wire...

    Udo, Andrew, Leon thanks for you words of encouragement. The O2 sensor is before the V band joint which has a very good seal so hopefully no issues there. Pulled the old(new) water pump and trial fitted the Electric setup. There's a little more to it than I hoped. Just ordered another dozen bits...

    Progress. The drivers door is fitted. Body is about 99% complete. Still need to make the front brake air ducts but I'm moving on to more fun stuff. Moved the front body Zeus clips to the bottom skirt lip as I didn't like the brackets jutting up from the tub. They were diffinently more...

    Just cracking open a beer so time for an update. Formed the passenger side door to match the tub contour and glassed the inside. Also forming the rear of the front clip to align with the door. Will glass that tomorrow. Door gaps will be 2.5mm. Think about next steps - Installing Brake/Clutch...

    Not a whole bunch completed this month, must have worked to much….. made the front ground effect tunnels and glassing in. Don’t know if they’ll do much but I like them. Leon, no front roll hoop required this time... The scrutineer was happy and so was I. And to the GT40S community, have a...

    A MSNZ scrutineer viewed the Roll hoop and I now have a MSNZ log book and the Roll Hoop is Homologated. Whew… So after that I polished up the hoop and shipped to Auckland to Bumpers Replacements NZ. To get Copper then Nickel plated. They were the only company that had baths physically big...

    A little more done.. Completed the left side front support. The strut unbolts easy. Theres a aluminium bush at the front that can be offset to rise and fall 15mm if needed. Finally upgraded my TIG Defuser Lens Cup to a Furick. Wish I had thrown away the standard junk 10 years ago. Onto the...

    Rear wing completed. Did solid countersunk rivets on the wing top (as many as I could) and Sealed countersunk on the underside. The 1/2” pivot rod lined up pretty well and wing is sitting at 10 degrees angle of attack on the lowest setting. The solid countersunk rivets are harder to install...
