I just failed the road worthiness test with my SPF for the 2nd time, because the parking brake does not have enough braking force. For the 2nd test, i actually adjusted the set screws for the brake pads just before the test so that the brakes were rubbing slightly even before the brake handle...

I recently failed the IVA test because the headlights were set too high. So I got to my mechanics, we took the plexi covers of and tried to adjust them, but all the turning on the adjustment screws would do nada. So off came the nose shell, we removed the access panels behind the headlights...

Hi! Does anyone have any details about this, a few photos, brief description of how it is done? I could do with a tad more head clearance. Thanks, Dan

I’m looking for a pair of CC3251 Snap Vents, but none of the shops seem to have any in stock (I actually ordered them from Aircraft Spruce ober a month ago and just cancelled the order because they don’t know when they will get them back in) Does anyone know of a shop selling them in Europe or...

I would like to swap my current Williams 4 point harnesses for 5 or 6 point versions. I guess this has been done before but I could not find any detail pictures. I am wondering where and how to attach the crotch strap, (I was thinking about adding a reinforcemnt plate under the seat pan area)...

On my Cobra, the fuel pump would run for a certain time when I switched it on and then stop (I guess when a certain pressure was reached). Obviously once the engine was running , I could not hear the pump anymore, so I don‘t know whether it run continiously or not. On my, new to me, SPF MK1...

On my SPF, I noticed that as soon as I switch on the electric main switch, there is a low whining noise coming from the front of the car. It’s not the fuel pump, they are on a separate circuit. Not the coolings fans. It sounds like a small pump or electric motor, or somethin alike. It‘s not...

While I was "in there" moving my pedal box, I noticed that it hat a spare hole just left of the clutch, that could be used to attach a dead pedal. But I also wanted a clutch stop. After some thought I got a girder clamp out of my "I'm gonna need this some day" box, some M8 and M10 threaded...

Just noticed one of the rubber boots is torn. I seem to remember that SPF uses an MG steering rack. There is a label on it but all I can read is « made in Argentina ». The number has worn of. Can anyone tell me which boots will fit.

I was moving the pedal box and managed to pull two wires off the A/C evaporator. From Blas‘ wiring diagram they are for the A/C thermostat. The proble is, the connector has 4 spades and I have 2 cables. I suspect it‘s the bottom (shiny ones) but I‘m not sure. Can someone help me out?

I just moved the pedal box on my SPF forward. Not a fun job, even when accessing it through the front. While I was in there ;literally), I noticed that the clutch cylinder has a small leak. I can just about make out the Wilwood name on it, but not the number. Does anyone have the type so I can...

Hi guys, I am currently researching the history of my SPF GT40 MK1 I know that car was built by the old Dynamic Motorsports from Ohio in 2008 or 2009. The Chassis number is 2208 and it was registered in the States as a 1965 Ford GT40 under VIN GT40P1035. Unfortunatly, the rest ofthe...

As I’m waiting to finally take delivery of my SPF (i’m starting to hate trudking companies) I’ve been going through the wealth of knowledge on here. And I’ve been reading lots of older posts mentionning a "how-to" section and an SPF sub-forum. But I can?t find it anywhere. Can someone help...

Hi guya, Has anyone installed a Stanceworks air lift kit on an SPF? I’m looking for advice and experiences (good or bad). Will I need to replace the front springs? Is the front kit enough or should I do all 4 wheels? is there room for the pressure tank anywhere or is the kit without tank...

I’m taking delivery of my MK1 (chassis 2208). The car was built in 2008 by Dynamic Motorsports in Ohio, the engine comes from Performance ENgineering. The previous owner has done some work to adress issues with the engine, but otherwise the car is pretty much factory issue. I live in...

Hi guys and girls, My name is Dan and I just bought an SPF MK1 from a gentelman in Sweden. I live in Luxembourg (Europe) with my wife and 2 kids and run an interior works company. It is registered as a 1965 GT40 so that should help me get it on the road in Luxembourg. I am currently planning...
