Installing the inside rearview mirror
by Mike & Elizabeth 20 Jul '25

20 Jul '25

I have the front bow of the headliner installed, along with the sun visors and mounting plate for the rearview mirror, but I cannot figure out how to pop the mirror itself into the mounting plate. Doug Braun has offered that you need to whack it into place by hitting a piece of wood held against the mirror base with a hammer, but this makes me a little nervous so close the windshield. Is this the only way or can someone offer another suggestion? Thanks Mike Thomas I have the front bow of the headliner installed, along with the sun visors and mounting plate for the rearview mirror, but I cannot figure out how to pop the mirror itself into the mounting plate.

Dear Tim, Thanks for the personal attention on this somewhat esoteric, put important, engine part. I am acquainted with restrictor push rods, but with all my engines equipped with lifter bore bushings, I haven’t found the need. Currently, the engine build is stalled awaiting a shipment of the now scarce 351C ten under rod bearings. Sigh.

Pantera Assistance
by Mike Drew 13 Jul '25

13 Jul '25

This rig here is owned by a Pantera owner named Michel who lives in Le Mans. He actually rescued a broken-down Pantera on Thursday (whose owner shall go unnamed by me!). As a gag he put a photo of Stephane and Michele Bergeron in the back window. Sadly Michel’s 1979 GTS ate its fuel pump on the first day and with no spares on hand, he was relegated to driving the truck for the rest of the weekend…. Sent from my iPad

The best battle at Le Mans Classic 2025
by Mike Drew 13 Jul '25

13 Jul '25

Guys, Given the endurance racing format, there are normally very few car-to-car battles on track, both in the real 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in the Classic retrospective. This GT40 duel was a notable exception this year. maxresdefault.jpg [1]Le Mans Classic 2025 - GT40' intense fight for the win ! 🔥 [2]youtu.be Well worth the watch, especially on a big screen TV….
