Joe’s AP MK1 Gt40 build

I'm wondering if there would be an issue with having to place the spacer under the pin adapter.

That im not sure. The rear puts you perfect its the front. I think you would need an additional 1/4 to 5/16 with the adapter. I dont remember exact but i think trigo plate is 7/16

Any chance you could measure the pad thickness of your wheels? ET is wondering it the could leave the pad thicker so that less spacer, if any, would be needed.

This is what they want:

Hey Joe.

Did your spider fit over the dash without a lot of drama and trimming? May be that I have one of the first few stretches and the modded spider doesn't quite fit. I think I can see what I need to do, but before permanently cutting off the front edge of the dash I thought it may be worth an ask.

Dash needed alot of trimming.I had to cut off the whole front edge,sand the over all width to fit in between chassis smoothly and cut the sides to drop down About 3/8.

I also ended up shifting the steering column to the left 1/2 to be center in the molded section where it comes out dash

 

[Brian]

Thanks. I'll get nasty with it tomorrow. I was just looking for a little sanity check before whacked up a bunch of stuff I would have to patch back

My micro batt is dead smh. The center is 2.25 exact and the stud section is .50 thick.

 

[joe]

Perfect! I'll get that info to ET and maybe be able to save someone a lot of time on the phone in the future. I'll let Chris know what I end up with for a final pad thickness/back spacing.

 

[joe]

Was that a front or rear wheel? Not sure if they vary front to back.

[Joe]

2nd order if -AN delivery came today lol. First order was just as big, Don’t realize how many fittings it really is until you look at it like this lol

 

[Joe]

Mounted heater core today, what a PITA to position so dont interfere with my feet near pedal but after an hour its perfect lol

 

[Joe]

Front tubes all hooked up and insulated.did not like that throttle cable was near foot pulling from the front so i found a small linkage from speedway and came up with this contraption. Function's perfect and nice and smooth. Cable is now completely out the way.

 

[joe]

DEI insulation?
