Hi Guys
Im new here so hope im posting in the right place. I am a car nut through and through I personally love the GT40 (as I expect all of you do) such a great design and it would be the car id do if I ever do a kit car. but before I talk myself into building or buying a GT40 I think its best to finish the project ive already started.
Like I said I have my hands full with a resto project, but its alittle more than that, im putting a substantial percentage of extra power and upgrading the entire drive train in order to cope. Engine to tyres it will all be new... this is where my problem is.
I need to get hold of some tyres that I could use for mock up so I can check the clearances and get the spacing exactly how I want.
However because the car is many years away from the road im not really wanting to buy brand new tyres. I know a few of you run the tyre im looking for and was wondering if your replacing or have spent your tyres on the race track wheather u'd be interested in passing them onto me maybe for alittle something
they dont need to be legal as long as they are inflatable they'll do.
the tyre ive been looking at is the Avon 295 x 50 R15
but any 295 x 50 R15 will probably do
this would be a massive help to me and id be massivly greatful.
I work just across the road from the silverstone circuit so if anyone is throwing away some old tyres after a weekend of racing maybe we could arrange something, id be willing to travel to collect as well.
Thanks
Ryan
