Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Today’s hard-fought battle was plumbing and installing the remote oil filter assembly within the bowels of the LH sponson. I considered relocating it altogether to a more accessible spot, but decided to keep it where the PO put since it helps keep the engine bay a bit less cluttered, and since there...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Yes, for sure. I’d have to move them lower and drill new holes to keep the motor and ZF level. It would be a fairly involved effort, not worth it at this point IMA.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Well, having been a PO (DPO/FPO?) many times in the past, I prefer to take a more circumspect perspective…lord knows I’ve no doubt committed some, umm, sketchy automotive infractions at one point or another…especially in my younger years… :whistle: :roll: :oops: Besides, I also want to be respectful...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

I spent some time reworking/reinstalling the bulkhead window. It was a bit of a mess the way it was originally installed by the PO. Lots of drilling, tapping and clearancing was required. Got frustrated and took a few days off. What a PITA, it took more time and effort than it should’ve, but now it’...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

You are correct Tom, those studs should be a touch longer, but I’m not going to mess with them for now. They fall into the “keep an eye on them” category…😉

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… 8-)

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.
