    Power Steering

    P Clamp. Should be able to find something to attatch a hanger to a P Clamp affixed to the hose metal tubing behind the nut after being snugged down. It'll be a little time until I can get the car back out of Carlisle; fisrt one in - no room - last one out on Sunday; and up onto the ramps to look...

    Power Steering

    Almost forgot to bring the camera back to the hotel. Several folks looked at the failed hose and I have made an attempt to photo and describe what we see. These photos show a fairly good representation of where we saw the air bubbles escaping. A fellow member XRAYCOOK might be given this item...

    Power Steering

    Bill, you know my mind set too well. Earlier this afternoon, as I held my finger under a plastic funnel filler with alcohol (not the kind for drinking), Denis (one of the GT Guys) held the hose (bad end) submergered with one finger holding the end closed and using his lung pressure to force air...

    Power Steering

    Problem resolved. It is a break in the short section of high pressure hose connected right to the power steering pump. When I get a minute to look at it I will be more specific and try and snap a photo or two. (and bring the piece to Carlisle if I remember) And I will be ordering a spare, as it...

    Ford Carlisle Event Gt Style!!!!

    With any luck there might be a FGT or two we can coax up onto the dyno again this year. ACR Joe's car was the hit of the dyno event and a heck of a crowd pleaser. Easy enough to get the belly pan off and strap it down.(should anyone want, I'll have to jack and tools and take care of it) I will...

    West Coast GT Club

    Ed, kind of along the same lines of a local Corvette owner I met a couple of weeks ago. He noticed I had no front tag and was explaining he only puts his bracket and front tag on when he's had 5 or 6 beers, or plans to go out drinking: "don't want to give the cops a reason to pull me over"...

    Mike, got the news I won't be seeing you this weekend. It does not appear to be the typical front seal leak, but if I am wrong about that, I'll let you know. Pete S.

    Power Steering

    It has been about 15,000 miles plus since we changed all the cooling modules, and the other car has about 11,000 on the roads. Though the advice is good, and there has been no splitter bumps since. Can this fluid require changing at intervals like all other fluids? That would be my first path...

    Power Steering

    In this start of the information, simply put we had three Ford GT's at Virginia International Raceway this weekend. Friday was the full course at 3.7 miles and Saturday & Sunday were on the North course, about 2.7 miles. Two cars experienced power steering failures as of yet not fixed. On...

    VIR event (May 29-31, 2009) and NJMP event (July 17-18, 2009) by SVT Cobra Club

    Well, 2 days down and one more to go here at VIR and the FGT's have performed quite well. Friday on the 3.7 mile main course my neighbor Jim S. in his quick silver was just that in the advanced group. Simply put, he was flying. (XRAYMAN362) Mike & I were in the intermediate group and Mike became...

    Clamshell Side Vents, (Beside Glass) Peeling Off!

    . . . Right after the last post I went ot garage and opened up the clamshell as there seemed to be s bit of movement in those pieces on either side of the rear window. Half the hardware was missing, short black blunt-tipped screws, each with a black washer (metal) and a black plastic washer, and...

    Matech FGT ON THE POLE, AGAIN

    Midnight, please keep these posts coming on the Matech and other FGT's over there. Eventunally everything created will fail, like the paint on my car; and when that day comes, I am certain to want to mimic one of these Swiss styles to replace my current Scuderia Filipinetti Swiss styling.

    Clamshell Side Vents, (Beside Glass) Peeling Off!

    I am thinking this is going to be another item that will fail on all but the 'garage queens'. I am over 22,000 miles on mine with some track time and have not experienced that particular problem; yet. I think PE2UNIA is also having those pieces cut out of nice blocks of quality aluminum. I look...

    If the weather is anywhere near as good as last year, it should be a blast, again. VA? NC?

    Ford Carlisle Event Gt Style!!!!

    Joey, The mostly symbolic and heartfelt awards have been created to your precise specifications. Will there be enough? Due to their design, transporting them to Carlisle shouldn’t require the need for another trailer stop along the route. See you in a couple of weeks. Pete S.

    Help with an annoying noise

    I had a small annoying noise that would happen constantly every time the engine "changed" position when slightly accelerating and when depressing the clutch or taking the foot off the accelerator. It was buildup of debris collected over time caught between the backmost engine cover and the...
