Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Today I reinstalled the rear sway bar, and made new -10 hoses to connect the oil filter sandwich adapter to the chassis bulkhead fittings going to the remote oil filters. I didn’t have a 1” crowfoot, so I had to modify a 7/8” crowfoot to tighten the fittings. I also started mocking up the dipstick, ...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Making good progress. I have most of the electrical system reconnected. Torqued all of the motor/trans hardware. Reconnected the shifter brackets/cables and the hydraulic clutch hose. Refit the AC compressor brackets, and realigned the pulleys with shim washers. Had to make a few trips to O’Reilly’s...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Major milestone today! William and his dad Heath came over this afternoon to help wrangle the drivetrain back in place. It was a bit challenging, but it’s back in and now I can focus on getting all the peripherals back in place. Still a lot to do, but this is the fun part…

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
The expansion and overflow tanks were a bit of a nipple twister to reconfigure and install, but one more task checked off the list. I made a few hard lines to connect the vent lines and the tanks together. Finished up a bunch of tidy-up tasks too. The focus now will be to get the motor and trans rei...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Finalized the battery install today. I went with a Braille lightweight AGM battery primarily because of its small size. It’s so small in fact, that I had to shim it with a block of wood and a couple of foam rubber blocks. It also precluded me from having to enlarge the opening. I needed to modify th...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Finished routing the vent line through the engine bay, just need to make final connections once the engine and expansion tank are back in place.
