I am hoping that someone can help me with my GT40 kit car project, I think I am what is called a “budget builder”, or as they say ‘skint’, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I have had my GT for some time, doing/buying as and when I can. I have now come up against a rather big problem (for me), mainly the drive shafts.
I need to connect a Renault 21 turbo gearbox to Ford Granada hubs and I have no idea what I need to do.
I have phoned one supplier here in the UK, their complete ‘kit’ would cost the best part of £700 from them and that is way above what I can realistically afford.
I do know that some builders have grafted Renault to Ford shafts with good results.
Now my questions.
1/. Is there anything or anywhere that I can find ‘specifics’ i.e. measurements, pictures, scale drawings, full explanation of how and what to do for this conversion/adaptation?
2/. Do you know of anyone that can supply the complete drive shafts with CV’s for (a lot) less cost?
3/. Do you know of anyone that may be selling second hand modified shafts and CV’s Renault/Granada that I could buy??
I am sort of desperate, the wife says I can keep the GT if it don’t cost too much more to finish and as I write this she is standing there with arms folded…………..you know what that means! <font color="purple"> </font>
Any help with information or locating parts, new or second hand, would be very much appreciated, please mail me. [email protected]<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
