BEC GT40 | Bailey Edwards GT40

SPECIFICATIONS:

The aluminised steel chassis (which has a torsional stiffness of 11500Nm/deg) and suspension were designed by an Automotive Engineer to replicate or better the original vehicle design.

The front suspension is a fully independent double wishbone type. The rear is also an independent double trailing arm with transverse top link and lower wishbone.
The suspension has adjustable coil over shocks and an anti-roll bar at the front and rear. Choice of front suspension mounting is either standard rubber mounted bushes or a fully adjustable set-up with rose joints.

Brakes are 4 pot AP Racing callipers with 305mm vented discs.

The rims are 15-inch BRM alloys with center pin knock-on and peg drive as on the original.

The original style body comprises eight moulded fibreglass sections using acrylic resins.

The interior has original Smith gauges; 13-inch, 3 spoke steering wheel; as well as original floor mounted Tilton pedals and seats (optional).

Air conditioning is available as an option.

Other options include a 4-point racing harness or standard inertia-reel seat belts.

The chassis was designed to take a small block Ford 302 cubic inch V8 engine, matched to a Getrag transaxle gearbox, which can be supplied on request.
