Looking real good. Are those fog lights in the lower recess?

Hi Pete,

I would love to see a picture of your "bare" seat before you mount it - since you stated you did not get the hammock style seat - what seat did you get - as I'm still building, now's the time for me to change - what the hell it's only money!!

Also, in one of your last pictures (showing the fuel plumbing) - there is a "post" mounted next to the rear clip hold down clamp - I assume that's for aligning the rear clip when it's closed - is there a mating "hole" in the rear clip itself that closes over this post? (this is different from the way mine is aligned).

thanks

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Dave,there is a "hole" in which the alignment post mates. I will tke pics next time I am at the factory. The race type seats are an option from DRB. If you email Peter Ransom, [email protected] I am sure he will be happy to supply specs,upholstory options and quote prices. As soon as mine arrive I will post pics.If you want the seats mounted on rails the floor pan needs to be modified to make room. Peter can supply details.

Hi Pete,

Car looks great.
In the UK I'm told not to fit the headlamp covers untill the car is SVA'd (government test) as they affect the headlamp beam pattern - is this not the case in Aus ???

Re: GT40 Australia #48

I'm not sure what our rules say about covers Paul,but thanks for the heads up I'll check it out. They are only on temporarily and have to come off to allow fit of head lights, painting etc.
