Speed Restored • View topic - Mark's RS
The fuel tank, leaf springs and diff housing will be removed this weekend. the Lh leaf spring is bent. The steel mesh covering the drop tank weights a fair bit, plus I have an idea to half the drop tanks volume, to remove the pendulum effect while cornering.
I only want it to look standard. Plus, i have the battery in that corner. Standard a/c mk2 mount.
I feel the fuel tank in the boot is too high in the air. Lowering the roll center can only help.
A friend has burns over his face, when he crashed and rolled his circuit racing Germini. So am a little worried of that happening to me. I was really worried about getting burnt, while upside down in my last tumble. Can't wait to drive it hard again. Without the tyres rubbing on the guards this time. They never rubbed on the street.
I see you are using clear tail light lenses? I have a pair of these but I would like to know where they can be purchased now? Speedshack (UK) used to carry them and I know you can still get the clear front indicators...
The hotwires look great. If you still wanted to put stripes on I have 2 rolls of black Ford GT stripe still new in the packet. It's Avery brand, top quality.
Thanks DazzaW, i bought the clear tail lights locally, second hand. I have been told they are no longer available in the U.K.
Very nice Ratta^. I will take the strips if you want to let the spare ones go. They are Cheviot wheels not hot wires, the B-45's don't fit on the front. I have a little caster to sort out before they go back on.
New door belts sealing the side windows are on and have a black hood lining coming. 4.44 diff is together ready to swap over. the fuel tank is next on my list.

I haven't been able to source the clear tail lights from anywhere so I am living in fear of the day I get biffed from behind... Oh well, the standard lenses are ok I guess...
Regarding "anyone notice the two door arches" - I looked hard but for the life of me I always thought the 4 doors would have the same rear arches as a two door?
Little report on progress. Finished removing the underbody tar and painted the underbody gloss black. Diff is installed with a 4.44-1 center ratio with extended length drum shoes. The hoodlining has been sent back, because the pockets for the rods were not large enough to slide in and fit. Bleeding the breaks tonight and is near roadworthy.
There was near two inches differance in the leafs I removed. Just some reverse eye leaf springs and tyres to buy.
All before next weekend, for the Aussie day out lakeside on Fathers day. Happy days!
Rego this year is my 'happy holidays' treat. I have the standard 3 leaf springs in the rear, so no Lakeside or Willowbank till i book the car into a suspension mob.
Especially when the quicker engine is fitted. The old man has reconditioned my spare Pinto for me. So it's his failt if it blows up.
Michael was about in the trees. I hope so too Steve. I sounded like a tractor after the extractor leg broke at the head. Lost a bellmouth and disconnected a leed out of the dizzy after an excursion at Harries crn. Last lap finding the boundies of my new found handling. I was driving a bucket of custard before. 1.10seconds beat my Pb by 2 seconds around Lakeside. Time for someone to donate some gonzo pipes for my new engine? They will not suit a Mk1 anyway. I will consider usig a German exhaust manifold if one popped up.
