Hello: Does anyone have available the original style flap window hinges or know of a source for them - see picture (taken from the Tornado website - but no longer supplied)? Thanks in advance!

The half shafts on my RCR40 ( ~2007 ) have a measured diameter of ~1.128" (smooth part) and ~1.174" max. at the splined end. The shafts have 36 teeth per end. Interestingly, the CV joints have the Porsche 940 dimensions 40mm thick and 108mm diameter (CV1018 flanges) and, of course, a 36 spline...

Hello: I use a ZFQ with Quaife bell housing. I'm looking for a suitable push rod for the clutch slave cylinder. For now I'm using one from an E-Type which I adapted to fit (never mind the broken clutch shaft). Any suggestions?

Hello: Any recommendations for racing cats (2.5in pipes) for the LS7 ? I need to pass annual inspection for EU emission (< 0.3 percent CO). I'm considering a pair of MagnaFlow 2,5 Zoll/64 mm Universal High Flow cats 200 cells #59956. Any experience with this model? Expensive but surely...

Hi: Does anybody know of a source for the release (throw-out) bearing for the ZFQ box with the Quaife bell housing for the Ford/Chevy V8s? (The one which came with the SPEC kit (Ford Mustang) is way too short. Possibly the latter can be modified by installing/inserting an extension?) Thanks...

Hello: I'd like to gain access to the hand brake cable for adjustment. What's the correct order for removing the center covers at and behind the hand brake lever? Sounds trivial but most of the button head crews spin freely - are there hidden nuts?

Hi: Any recommendations on a performance clutch: 10.5in Ford 10-spline 1 1/16 input for use with a stock LS7 (~505hp) and ZF-Q (in an RCR40)? I'm thinking SPEC Stage 2+ pressure with single Stage 3 friction plate.

Hello: Does anybody recall where Chris Melia got the flywheels for his Ford/Chevy to ZF-Q box kits back around 2008-2010? I'm trying to locate the manufacturer of John Lowe's flywheel which he obtained back then. I have an engraved number but no manufacturer. Clutch is a SPEC stage 2+. Cheers

Hello: It seems that LS7s are popular amongst builders in this community. The oil pressure of the crate LS7 in my RCR40 is too low for safe operation at higher rpm (hot just 20 to 25psi at almost any rpm level above 1000rpm, tested at the sender as well; cold start ~80psi) The engine is...

Hi: How are the RCR GT40 rocker panels to be attached to the monocoque (upon final installation)? Mine have been flapping loose at the lower edge. I pressed/glued a rubber seal between the lip on the monocoque and the panel. A second question: does RCR supply the safety pins and their...

Hello: I thought I'd share with you a few links related to an event which took place September 2021 in Graz, Austria, in honor of Jochen Rindt. Of interest, to all of you curious about original GT40's, their sound, and present appearance, is the close look the first video offers as to the...

Hello: Very sadly and as many of you may know John Lowe passed away not too long after he passed IVA for his RCR GT40. I purchased the car from his widow Jill in September 2020 and have been working on making the car roadworthy ever since. This August I got the car street registered here in...
