Reply to "Building a Gr4 replica"

Yes, the Gt5 airdam is probably much more effective than the simple blade spoiler - but that's not the point in this build :-).

The wheels are the Marvic Gr4 magnesium reproductions , 10X15 front and 14X15 rear. The tires are Avon all weather historic race tires, 10.5/23.0-15 and 14.0/27.0-15, that was what I was recommended to use by Patrick Hals.

For the raising of the buckets, I keept the the original gear, and removed the motor and did some trimming of the brackets (had to because of the radiator). So I can raise the buckets manually with the emergency knop. The whole set-up is removable including the aluminum bar. I only have this older not so good picture - I have made some smaller trimming and changes to the set-up since then.

I intend to have the original adjustable Gr4 sway bars fabricated. I do have the drawings and measurements of them, including the modifications that were done to the a-arms and the chassis - the center mounts were moved outwards in the rear.

I would need to find a company that can build the sway bars though - any leads? Julian, if you are interested in a set for your car too, maybe we can figure something out.
