HI, Just responding to your search in case you would be interested in the Lola T620 FSV complete shifter assembly that is attached to a very nice complete Lola T620 FSV including the complete shifter assembly that I would be willing to part with. If there's any interest in the car let me know.
Tom

I raced against this car for several years. It never had a lot of use, was impeccably restored, and absolutely stunning the last time I saw it at the track. The owner owned a body shop so the paint was always perfect. The sidepods I understand are very unique, few of the 620s had them.
Previous owner had health problems and the car sat for a while.
Tom, you need to get that thing out of the garage and run it.
I have 620 HU 18.Quote:

I am still on need of these 620 parts to finish my rare W/Cooled T328FSV. I'm sure someone has 620 parts that won't ever be used, My 328 is a significant car, I believe only two were built, and it would be a shame to remain unfinished....

The swirl pot, rear engine brace, and shifter assembly can all be easily fabricated, probably much easier than trying to find the actual parts. The Chassis shop or Industrial Metal Supply has weld-in threaded tube adapters for the ends. Any shifter you fabricate using the methods discussed in other parts of Apexspeed will be vastly superior to anything made back in the day.
One place to go to look is the parts section of race-cars.com. Don't bother with posting something in wanted, it seems to be a haven for scammers. Look at the guys that are selling a lot of stuff and contact one of them and then work that network.
Original seat? why bother. You can make a better bead seat anyway.
Caliper brackets - if inboard, probably any MK9 brake bracket will work. If outboard, then it's likely any Lola FSV brake bracket will work. FSVs required TY III bearings and stub axles. the inner flange is a 4-bolt affair that was usually replaced with a flange/caliper bracket or had a caliper bracket welded to it.
Have you tried Kennedy Engineered Products ?

Yes I have. They would only do an adapter for a water cooled Rabbit engine to a VW/Hewland gearbox in the air cooled orientation for off road buggies....Quote:

The problem is that those guys are not active here.Quote:

Unfortunately, there are the hoarders out there sitting on parts they will never use and will end up in some dumpster when they’re gone. Time to dust off the cobwebs and clean out the garages. Let those of us wanting to keep the sport alive have the opportunity to acquire the rare parts needed….
I totally understand and commiserate for your frustration, Frank.
Our van is seven years newer than your T328, and we routinely have the same problem — despite probably building 1000x more of them.
I think you’re in a similar numbers game, but hope you find (or have made) things just the same. I love Super Vee and hate reading this.
Good Luck.
...coupled with inflation, may be exactly what is required to get people to dust off old vintage race parts and sell them onwards. Keep looking, be patient - this stuff may literally come to you.
cheers,
bt
Since the water cooled T328 and T620 are the same from the front hoop back I know there are 620 parts out there being hoarded....Quote:
