Looking for either turnkey kits with the base plates and pins, or I don't mind fabbing the plates if somebody has the 'proper' dimensions and angles etc. written up somewhere. I am not doing an authentic GT replica so I don't need factory parts or exact clones, but this is one area where I think it makes sense to stick as close as feasible to the way it was done on the real GT's.
Here's what I am talking about - http://www.stazak.com/914/gt/hood/hoodplat.html http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/24147550 My understanding is they are cut from stainless sheet metal and then the edges are folded over a specific way so as to 'bite' into the fiberglass lid a bit and probably also to give a little bit of spring vs. laying totally flat. Any vendor links or fab tips appreciated. |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Nov 27 2009, 12:11 PM)  I believe you can actually buy many of the GT parts that have been reproduced on someone named Armando's site. Mittelmotor comes to mind but I am not too familiar with it. Eric Shea is doing a GT car and you might ask him. Armando does sell some items, usually something he has had made then he found an Original Factory part. Be careful, this slippery slope gets real expensive, real quick. http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/for_sale |
