I just don't understand some of these prices. I am thinking of cars like T 440's -540's - 640's. On average something around 100 of each built . I somehow doubt as many as 60% of them still exist....

Wow ! Did anyone see what sort of money some of those sold for ? I didn't see the final price as I was sleeping and now the site isn't showing the sale price. But when I last checked last night the...

I saw this as well. I wonder where the majority of 492's are. Europe or North America? I could use a nose, but the remainder of my bodywork is good. It's the shipping that has kept me back from...

It looks like it could be a custom creation.

The V6 might sound fantastic , but so does a BD series engine, I know it's not a car for the weak of wallet in any case. But does the Dino engine give any advantage over a Cosworth ? These cars cost...

It almost looks like it might fit a Cortina rather than a FF.

Rather than attempting to weld the broken away lug nut seating area . I would use a high quality , metal filled epoxy . Devcon etc. Less risk than welding. It looks like you still have at least 90%...

A large jig like this might still be acceptable to your welder if you make a 5 or 6 inch diameter hole at each weld point. Reduce or eliminate burning and also the benefit of full 360 degree access...

What you are doing regarding the wood jigs is great for parts fit up. And on sites like Locost USA ,I see quite a few people using wood for welding jigs as well. However they are generally doing...

For those bushings it's best to bore slightly undersize and do a final cleanup to size with a reamer. You end up with a more acurate I.D..
Long, angle cuts like that are definitely tricky without a...

Like yourself I also like sportsracers a lot . And Cosworth BD's are iconic. The sound alone is like few other racing engines and shouts
1970's and 80's motorsports.
But I have a strong feeling...

Hi Chip that sounds like a great project. About the only potential flaw I see in your plan is the jump into the deep end of the pool with the Cosworth power plant. Landmark engines for sure but they...

No , it's a T492. I have a project T540 but its a long , long way away from seeing action again. I bought it a few years back as the start of a auto - X car. Don't worry , it was already a piece of...

Thanks for all the information guys. I have only looked at one of them yet but it is definately still retaining its gas charge.
The reason I was curious about if it could be the origional to the car...

Thanks guys ! Thats a great help.

Hi everyone. I am starting to renovate the 1977 Lola I bought last summer and have started to clean up the shocks. They don't have a Man. name or logo on them. They are posibly even original as the...

Decades ago Aurther Mallock used outside of the box thinking and a very rigorously systematic development program to get amazing results on a ; even for the time, tiny budget.

I have huge respect...

That does not look like a 13 in. wheel. Most likely the 15 in. or 16 in. version. Those spokes would be spider webs in 13 in. Is 4 x 4 in . really a common bolt pattern ? I always have trouble...

Decent looking nut, however $9.00 each adds up. They don't seem to specify the thread size anywhere but I assume 3/8 NF. Early Revolutions have quite small holes, I doubt you can use them with studs...

Not Lola FSV either. Lola is an open back casting: is different from their FF style casting . Not the same as this one however.

Most plentiful and cheapest would be Triumph Spitfire parts. Most of the early Formula Fords used these. Lotus used them on many 1960's cars all the way up to the very rapid 23. Easy to find on ebay...
