In case anyone else need dimensions

They looks perfect in construction, need to checkup the dimensions (seems pretty hard to find)

That is an option - with the risk that wishbone finds its way between the halves. But maybe at something like 2/3 and 1/3

Just a side note - on my super seven I painted the whole chassis with POR-15 - fantastic paint - but never used a top coat. Even though many pieces were exposed to sunlight (UV) they was all great. So not sure if the top coat is really necessary. I though used it on the roll-cage. Everything...

Hi, I wonder if anyone have fitted a nicer bushing for the front anti rollbar on a Tornado? Currently I am pre-assmembly the build and have not fitted these - and they are quite stiff to get into place and maybe there are better solutions to it?! The hole in lower wishbone are 16 mm. Any...

Thanks Andy, do you use it in this type of "free flow synchronization" as described above or used with a pump?

Do you have any experience of this Mocal One Way Check Valve (flap type) (https://www.demon-tweeks.com/se/mocal-one-way-check-valve-372351/ ). "... flap valves offer no resistance to flow ..." I am thinking of fuel tanks with the following approach Tank #1 - fuel pump filling the catch tank...

That would be a real disaster for UK exports :( but I cannot believe it is being true.

I disagree to that statement - I purchased a crate engine from Blue Print Engines with free domestic shipping so I got a Swedish company which operates in US. Blue Print charged the engine without US VAT (with some guarantee that it will leave US). When it arrived in Sweden I paid customs, taxes...

To my understanding You buy a part in UK to be shipped to EU (Sweden/SEK in may case). Part cost: £1000 Shipping cost £100 Before BREXIT £1000 + £100 = £1100 + 20% UK VAT (£220) = £1320 with Google exchange currency 14 769 SEK After BREXIT £1000 + £100 = £1100 with Google exchange currency...

Hi, Now I have measured and tested the starter motor on the bench. With the following approach - take off 5 mm of the adpater plate for starter motor mount. This should give 3.2 mm clearance to the ring gear and 10 mm grip on the ring gear when engaged.

Thanks Andy, I have also sent an email to the manufacturer of starter motor; I hope get some info from them beginning of next week

Hi, I will modify my adapterplate since the starter motor gear is too far from flywheel gear. What distance between starter motor gear and flywheel gear at idle would you say is suitable when the started is idle? 2-3-4 mm ?

Uprights etc are sold! ;)

I have a few items to might find a new owner. A pair of front alloy uprights and hubs as seen on pictures below. Manufactured by Tornado. PM if of interest

Thanks, I have sent HiSpec an email to have their recommendations

Thanks for your input. I have a Tornado chassis and body work

Really interesting thread - I had an intention to build a roll cage to my GT40 but as it will used mostly on road and 1-2 trackdays/year I hesitate on having a roll cage ;) Thinking of having a roll bar as far rear/up behind the seats but skip the front roll bar and the connecting bars in the...

Hi @bune I have the same handbrake calipers but still not mounted. I have printed some mock-brackets (the real will be thicker). You have the mounting brackets on the other side than I have on the picture below. How have you reasoned about that?
