New muffler with integrated HJS CATs installed - not very pretty but I hope it will leave less heat in the engine bay...

So ``your" front clam is mounted to rotate on a shaft? As you say, that's probably better for everyday use (no need for disconnecting wires and hoses, little space needed in front of the car to open). The bobbin setup is quicker when you need to swap the entire nose in case of damage or to get...

Hi Marcus: Beautiful car and a very reasonable price as well! 4-6 years ago it would have been a serious contender for a purchase by me. Having followed the market for the past few years, very few GT40s sell immediately. It takes the right person for a car like this - which I see as...

Maybe an old one, but it happened today: GT40 (RCR) for refueling at the gas station. ``A" walks up to the car from across the street. A: Excuse me, but is this must be a Lotus? B: No it isn't. A: Oh! ... Well, from the rear it looks almost like a GT40. B: Yes it does, and from the...

Perfectly cool day for ``building" confidence in the car and make an outing in the country. No issues and thus time for pictures. Still waiting for my new muffler system.

Hi Randy: Here is a screenshot from Jansen Competition's catalogue (in German) making reference to internal catch tanks by RTL. Of course, you'd need one each. I use 2 separate tanks for fuel supply to an external swirl pot (with some safety features recommended by Kinsler), a magnetic switch...

By the way, there are swirl pot systems which are part of/i.e. inside the fuel tank.

I understand but I'd still go for a bladder for your own safety. And definitely get a swirl pot - see my build log! Kinsler is a good source for advice and parts. Good luck with your project!

Hi: ATL, Fuel Safe, etc. will make for you racing bladders to your dimensions (e.g. to the same shape as your tanks) to FIA, SCCA ... standard.

yes, this should work, take along a lamp and a set of nose pliers- I've spent a few happy times in this position - last time about 2 weeks ago when tracing the ignition wire to a loose socket ... use the steering column to pull yourself back out ;-) you might even be able to reach in (after...

Hi: I think you should provide more details regarding make of vehicle and tachometer ... I had a similar problem a while ago (RCR40) and was wondering how in the world I should get access to the bracket screws when I found out the tach had just been stuck into its opening...

if you are talking about the round auxiliary lights (Marchal TP 27SP, fog and high beam), they take R2 (Bilux) 45/40W 12V 3200K P45T ....

Hi: I have the original Marchal head lamps and they take the standard H4 bulbs - nothing special.

Glad to help. Good luck with your project! Looking forward to your progress reports. Let me know if you need any pictures/solutions off my car ...

No, it isn't ;-) . The engine maybe is not too far off 60s technology, however, EFI and catalytic converters definitely are. So are the fuel cells. When I looked for a car in around 2019 I had to make the decision to go for a replica that, by age, could be titled as ``historic" (i.e. street...

Hi: Looks like an alternative to "eyebrows". Maybe comment #29 of https://www.gt40s.com/threads/p2123-in-the-wet.29175/page-2#post-268624 can help? I remember seeing photos of a GTD (?) using this system.

I fully agree with your comment, also when you say "is widely used on plenty of modern car". On a GT40 I'm happy to live with 60s technology.

Car is happy again - and so am I ... ;-)

Kinsler...

Go without badge - it saves weight and makes you happy - even when the leather is cracked slightly ;-) !!!
