Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Today’s expended effort was in the engine bay rerouting and re-clamping cable runs, eliminating chafes, general neatening/cleaning, etc…tomorrow will be more of the same, and then re-configuring the remote oil filter lines. Should be fun…

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Reinstalled the clutch and bell housing yesterday. Thanks to William for loaning me the correct clutch alignment tool! :wink: Today I cleaned the accumulated grunge off the ZF and mated it to the bell housing. Now that the drivetrain is in RFI status, I can devote my efforts to getting the chassis r...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
It had to be, but I don’t think it was far enough out to ever have been a real problem. Just trying to make sure it won’t be a problem down the road.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
I’ve been chasing my tail for a few days, but I think I can now declare victory. Made the first shim out of .016” brass plate along with a few thinner aluminum shims for the side bolts, but that turned out to be a bit too thick, and the parallelism numbers were still beyond spec. I bought some .010”...

Re: Is it just me? Or is clubcobra dead again?
It’s deader’n a door nail, been down hard for three days now. It’s been limping along for years, but recent months it’s been on life support. They’ve called for a priest…

Re: Lakeland cruise-in March 2, 2024 DSCC
Weather not looking good for tomorrow Tom, at least starting out here in St Aug. Lakeland weather is only calling for a cloudy day. Of greater importance, I took the cover off the cobra to start it up and move it onto the driveway, and to air up to the tires, but found my left front tire flat. I air...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Offset dowel pins won’t fix this issue Ken. I may need to locate or fab some very thin shim washers to put between the block plate and bell housing at the top two or three bolt holes, or I may possibly need to have the bell housing surfaces machined back to parallel. I think I’ll first take a good l...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Removed the engine from the rotary stand and put it on the roll around stands. Installed the bell housing and torqued the bolts. Set up the dial indicator to check runout, which was within spec (.005”). Parallelism check didn’t fair as well, looks to be about .018” out at the 6:00 position…should al...
