These are our fitment and assembly fixtures for the GT racing headers. The specs are indexed directly off of each flange, mandrel bend , collectors, from these patina'd originals; which were on our #40 Sonauto car. The new (copies) production meets my highest QC expectations . More parts arriving for 9148 next week & I'll post up ! I haven't seen your email yet, try this :
msdsinc@sbcglobal.net

Custom 300M alloy Sway-A-Way axels arrived today. Going to assemble the cv's and the gooey stuff this weekend ! Their engineers utilize this slight "Bump" in shaft diameter for power of 750+ above. Floating axels measure out at 21 1/16" in length.

We had a custom length cable made for the SQS, it's approx 100" in length; required due to mid engine (rear trans) use. SQS normally made for the late rear engined 911 series...which places the trans closer to the cockpit

SQS Attached to the gt2 transaxle , the gearbox is then installed Inverted in the chassis (for mid-engine use),

due to the ring gear not being able to be physically flipped internally in the gearbox.

We will be using this GlowShift brand dual range EGT pyrometer: allowing for exhaust temp monitoring of both left and right bank exhaust headers
