re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
Looking good James. I am going to have my exhausts plasma ceramic coated in white. Someone like Zirotec might be worth speaking too
Zircotec high temperature coatings, ceramic coatings, engine, automotive and motorsport, exhaust manifold and header coatings, performance range.

Jimmy, perfect, what struck me looking at that photo, is that it is like, here we are in 2011, watching the construction of an 'original ' GT40. ok, the people are different, but the product is the same.
With the care and attention to detail that you and Ali are putting into the job, these cars will be something special, of that I am sure. Keep posting, you are doing something that most of us can only dream about, and doing it well.

It's just brilliantly smart!
One pattern, sliced and machined.... I wouldn't had the idea!
How did you do for the G rotor?
I'm checking for an update each day, just as when you wait the postman for an important letter...
Did you already thank about writing a book telling you journey with the GT?

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
Always good to see your work and the lengths you go to Jim.
You have your pump rotors made know, but size wise it looks like Mazda 1300.
I did a lot on those engines and it looks close ,Maybe worth looking at for future.

Oil pump gears.. Ford pushrod-Cortina Escort Anglia etc, I think its either Triumph 2000/Vanguard or perhaps some of the Roots group stuff- Hillman Imp & Minx's/Hunters etc that I used gerotors out of to increase volume of the Ford pumps, if they happen to have same critical dimensions of your ZF piece.

Jac,
Yes - I spent some time looking at post 1961 Hobourn Eaton pumps for a suitable unit. The trouble was finding a batch of similar rotors when I needed them.

Without reading all the postings and threads, were you aware of the sad passing of Ray Webber last Saturday? Frank Catt informed me this week. I met Ray only once, but foundhim to be a most delightful, enthusiastic and sincere person. His death is a loss to our community and my condolences go out to his family and friends...
