Afternoon all, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the fog lamp circuit on a Southern GT ? My fog lamp fell off my car last week which left just the case of the fog lamp being held on the live and earth wires by the time I realised and stopped. I’ve bought the replacement light but can’t...

Hi all, Have an issue with both fuel gauges on my SGT where the gauges only read 3/4 full when the tanks are full. I’ve taken both fuel senders out of each tank and tested putting both floats in the full position but gauge max reading is 3/4 full on both. Can the gauges re calibrated ? Any...

For sale is my GTD40 which over the last three years in my ownership has gone through a substantial refurbishment. It’s been a huge amount of fun both driving and doing the restoration work but it time to move onto other cars I want to own and enjoy. The chassis was built by GTD in 1995 and the...

Hi all, For sale are the 17 inch BRM wheels in Gulf colours. Fronts are 8inch and the rears 10inch. The rears have Bridgestone S01 285/40/17 which are like new, and the fronts have Kumho 235/45/17 also like new. Generally in very good condition with no scruffs to the polished rims. The orange...

After nearly 6 months of my GTD being on axle stands and in various bits over the winter, It finally reemerged out of the garage today. Hasn’t always led a pampered life by some of its previous owners but I’m making some way in correcting that now. Winter jobs completed : - Cooling system...

I’m in the middle of replacing all the water pipes on my GTD while I’m putting a new radiator in, and found my thermostat housing in a right state and needs replacing. Looking online I’m having trouble finding one similar to one fitted. Mine has a small bore connection off the top which goes to...

I'm embarrassed having to ask such a basic question on here but I'm stuck on how to tighten up a pair of front new tie rod ends on my GTD. When I’m tightening up the nut the spindle is spinning within the tie rod so I can’t tighten it. Looks like there should be some sort of tool inserted...

Just had the front control arms power coated on my GTD and I’m looking for advice on which bushes to use. Any advice much appreciated

Morning folks, Could someone tell me how I adjust the headlight level on my GTD please? They are currently pointing too high and I can’t see any obvious way to adjust them lower. Cheers.

Suspect a simple question for one of the electrical magicians out there... I was replacing the fog light on my GTD this evening and had everything working when I had the wiring loose fitted. I secured all the wiring up and now the main headlights wont come on (side lights are fine). I think I...

Hi all, Going to be replacing the existing 17 inch rims on my GTD for the correct 15 inch rims. I’ve been recommended (by the excellent) Geoff Taylor to go for 275/55R15 rather than the wider 295/50R15 Avon CR6ZZ on the rears. I’m curious to know what tyres sizes others have on their cars...

Hi all, Another newbie question I’m afraid. In the process of refurbishing suspension and have just stripped old paint of the first of my hubs. What do folks doing in terms of painting these or not?

Guys. I’m looking to get all of my suspension arms removed on my GTD so I can get them powder coated. They used to be chrome and previous owner just painted over them in black rather than doing the job properly. The lower front bolts though are hidden behind panels so before I start drilling...

Evening all, The shock absorbers on my GTD have been fitted without the correct (read none) bushes fitted. Result is the shocks rattle from side to side. Can someone recommend what bushes they have fitted to their car please? Preferably a GTD. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Just taken delivery of my GTD40 and first project is to replace both the windows and the headlight covers. I’ve bought the replacements from the very nice Mick and Carol from Southern GT, and looking for some help and advice as I tackle first project Mick was kind enough to show me these...

Hi all, Im shortly taking delivery of a GTD40 and the exhaust is currently letting the engine bay down a bit. Its a bundle of snakes which at some point was chrome finished but there is not a lot left of the chrome now. At some point I might consider replacing the system with a full...

Hi all, First post to this forum and hopefully an owner of a GT40 in the very near future so please be gentle to a newbie :) I want to get a pre purchase inspection performed on a GTD and I’m looking for recommendations from this forum if possible. I’ve been through Fortyfication and...
