Girling AR5 brake callipers

Girling AR5 brake callipers for +8 LWT For a new HTP the FIA want me to replace the current Lockheed brake callipers by the "original" Girling AR5's (vented discs / .875 wide), as in the +8 homologation 4-665 of 1979. A lot of help from a dozen UK specialists so far, but no light at the en...

Re: +8 Group 4: fotos?

Hi everybody Time to come back to all your most friendly efforts (Bob in particular) - thank you very much!!! I must admit being somewhat surprised, that no engine fotos have turned up yet, although (you may have noticed) Charles Neal had graciously also put a note in the April edition of Miscellany...

Re: +8 Group 4: fotos?

Hi Bob, Mark & Mary Thanks for your efforts! Yes, I have been in contact with Bruce for a long time and he has been ever so helpful (as a lot of other Mog community people). I even visited him 2 weeks ago - well, he says, at those times, his interest was more in racing then collecting words &...

+8 Group 4: fotos?

Morgan +8 Group 4 (1979-1981): Urgent quest for fotos For my new HTP the FIA ask me to provide period evidence (fotos) of Bruce Stapleton's group 4 Morgan +8 (engine in particular).

Re: Original +8 LWT?

Well then, my first active appearance in brake horsepower.net turned out not just as fully helpful but also as very pleasant experience. Thanks to all of you for your info & suggestions to be followed with further curiosity. Balancing your inputs I seem to have guessed right: The LWT series of 1...

Re: Original +8 LWT?

Hi Mary I tried to trace R8059 from Hill's 19-list supposed to be around our mountains. Got as far as to rumours of the owner being an Englishman in the french speaking part and a member of the MSCC (not our Swiss club). Any idea of how to proceed (who to ask at the MSCC) for spotting him? I'll clic...

Re: Original +8 LWT?

Thanx a lot to all of you. How here we are with the mysteries of Mog production. I wonder if anyone of you might have a technical specifications sheet of the +8 LWT? As it seems there never was a special LWT brochure or owners manual. I did send an e-mail to Martin Webb (hoping he is still with the ...

Original +8 LWT?

Hi there i'm new here (after learning & amusement by following sev. chats as a guest...) with the confession of my probably rather naive bafflement concerning the +8 LWTs. I have a friend here with an all alu 1977 +8 (R8323) which as it seems is not one of the "Magnificent 19s" - so wh...
