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...

Tom,
I had the plastic on hand. If they don’t hold up to the heat, I can always try aluminum later on…

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Finished filing out the access ports today, and while I was at it I made a few plastic covers. Just need to apply a little heat with the heat gun to contour them to the bell housing.
One more job knocked off the list…
