Re: 3D printing velocity stacks ..
I would love to know what the tuned length of those trumpets is??? Air filtration is obviously rubbish. One semi heaped teaspoon of sand (silica) will ruin an engine.

And remember that a good artist can paint in grain to improve match. British Autowood in Florida does it all the time and you would not know it had been touched.

Re: Oil Pressure Gauge, inaccurate

A great and sensible gesture. I think David would approve wholeheartedly. I personally feel that the family should have retained ownership of the car however. I don't think CF are as benevolent as they would like one to believe.

Re: Engine cooling thermosats
For racing the bypass was blocked ~ engines were seldom cold and frequently dismantled. This is the bypass slot the sleeve closes. Excuse my filthy spare engine.

Re: Engine cooling thermosats
This is the correct thermostat. When open closes the bypass port and forces 100% of coolant via radiator. See 2nd item genuine Waxstat from Barratts.
