SUPERFORMANCE GT40 Owners Manual

Hi Blas,
Regarding lighting upgrade, just last week I upgraded from the SPF supplied bulbs to LED. I am told the bulbs are out of a Yamaha motorcycle. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to do, and they appear at least 50 percent brighter. They are the R2 model

These are the LED bulbs I used in my last car
SPF headlight bulb and fog light bulb
I have been looking at old threads for this information, but most of the threads are really old. Does anyone know what the current Bulb's are for the Headlights and Foglights. You would think for the money we spend on these cars the Owners Manual would actually be worth a shit. lol Come on...

Interesting. I did some experimenting with my Lucas Flamethrower Driving lights a while back. Found that swapping out the original incandescent bulb with a different style bulb lost the pencil beam focused light beam and made it operate more like a flood lamp. Very difficult on oncoming cars. I think the original bulb had a 360 pin point of light a calculated distance from the focal point of the silvered reflector. The new bulbs I tried did not have a 360 degree light pinpoint, and the light source was not the same distance from the reflector… hence the “BRIGHT” floodlight. I shimmed the bulb to get the light source in the sweet spot of the reflector and rotated the bulb to get the best light pattern more like the original pencil beam. Have you tried looking at you headlights at night from a distance? Have one original bulb and one newer style bulb in place. Bright is great, glare blinding was not.
Just a suggestion….
Thanks. Blas
Just a suggestion….
Thanks. Blas
Should be added . Technical service bulletins if any ( Mk3 cobra does ) , maintenance by mileage checklist for chassis, steering, and suspension. Life expectancy of chassis wear items. This is a high maintenance car and people should be fully informed.
Thank you for posting this manual link! First beer's on me!! Dave
Well, then I hope you will be at the 60th anniversary
The Superformance GT40 Owners Manual is pretty much completed, Still waiting on review and approval from Superformance. Sill working on a few future technical addendums as info becomes available. Still accepting suggestions for addendums.
Owners will be able to submit 25-30 photos to be included in their unique copy of the manual if desired. It will be delivered in electronic format and can be printed if desired. It can be searched electronically.
Offering discounted pricing if you order a wiring diagram at same time. If you have already purchased a diagram, a discounted manual price will be available. Plastic laminated diagrams are now also available as I found a reasonably priced source. Contact me for more info.

Nice work!!!
I recently received this new Owners Manual from Blas. As a new SPF40 owner, this is exactly what I need now. The document is pretty extensive and clearly took a huge amount of work to create. I was also pleasantly surprised to see so many pages of photos of my very car being built and painted as part of the manual.
I'm pleased that it will see updates and extensions as Blas can make them happen. I hope he gets a lot of input from you experienced owners.
