Guys,
because my primary GT40 has been sold it is time to start the GTD I am having on the bench since months.
Currently I am looking and planing the car as much as I can because this time my budged allows me to buy all parts at once to save money and build time.
The Kit I have is based on the GTD GT40 but has already the back from Southern GT ( which really should make a difference in handling )
I have some questions regarding gearboxes.
I have an option to
- either go with a Renault UN1 rebuild by Lastpago ( he is doing an incredible job at the moment for the gearbox of the sold GT40) and use Renault bell housing, small flywheel, starter, clutch, etc....this would save significant weight and would overcome the problem of the full-sized bell housings supplied by some dealers burning the slave cylinder.
- or go with a Porsche G50 Gearbox, Adapter plate, special made clutch and shifting peripherals
For the UN1 in a GTD ( with Southern GT End) what is the correct driveshaft ...any idea ?
Same question for the G50, do we have champs here having a G50 in a GTD ?
How easy is the setup, what clutch rate you using, bearings, flywheels, and so on ?
Cheers
