    Not only is it rare in the internet, it is rare in reality. We tried to get ours rebuilt as not functioning correctly and after 6 months gave up. Finally after much backward and forwarding we have got a replacement and should be with us tomorrow so will post shortly.

    I'm curious as well for pictures. When I worked at Zodiac Aerospace I did repair work on several types of jets' windshield wiper converter/motor systems including the 787's. Setting the precise range of degrees of motion and setting the clock spring to proper tension wasn't too bad.

    You really don't want to breath in carbon fiber dust/fibers...

    OK, looks like it does fit and is sooo light but feels like it has great torsional rigidity. Hopefully the car will weigh in at just over the 1000KG mark, maybe 1050 or thereabouts.

    More typical MT scenery.

    So raw!
    Nothing beats a good old bit of proper Carbon fiber!

    I am amazed what MT is getting through the shop!

    We had an Fchatter , Lindsey, visit today who is apparently one of our biggest fans on this project. Bothered to Schlepp all the way in on public transport from the other side of London to see what Kevin had going on in his workshop and especially the LM. Occasionally it really feels good to be doing this project seeing the pleasure it gives others.

    To top it off, Kevin took him out in his very special Dino(beautiful and unique GTS with, amongst other things, a 328 motor!) and apparently they had just the best time.

    That man deserves a ride in an F40 LM if you ask me.
