Southern GT #70

I know I am not building a Monocoque car but I have tried to use as many original parts as possible. I think this is getting out of hand considering what I just paid for a NOS interior light out of Germany.. However they seem to be as rare as hen's teeth as I have been looking for over a year. The hunt is fun. Original shield pattern headlamps are on their way from France along with some Vitaloni mirrors.

Found on flebay, a-klasse01 was seller out of Germany. Search was Isetta interior light

 

[Morten]

Aston Martin db5 courtesy intetrior light might also be of interest.

They really look the same as the Volvo Amazon, but quadruple the price tag of the Volvo.

The Volvo light I found here in the US from Mr.Fiat, was $174 which is what I paid for he Hella Isetta light.

Not a secret hand shake, you just open your wallet to show the dust and lint inside where money used to be before you decided to build a GT40!

When I saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in 1955 the only thing that protected the painting from the public was a velvet rope between two brass stanchions.

not that I have something to do with this overprotection of Lisa.... but I'm born in 1955....

I was a sophomore in Heidelberg American High School then (1955) and our French II class was taking a field trip to Paris. It was a different time back then.

I did not want a oil pressure sending unit hanging off a tube in the side of the block. Found a neat little 3 port fuel distribution block at Speedway motors. Some adapters AN fittings and a hose. This also frees up room for the AC compressor to sit lower

 

[Joe]

That’s a great idea

 

[Ryan L]

isn't there another oil pressure block off port at the back starbord side of the block that can be used as well or is that into the water jacket?
