If you are replacing the pans you might want to add drop pans to give you a little more head room. Eric

I had some one send me these pics. It kind of looks like a really modified GTII. I hope the upload thing works here. Eric

I am having issues with my phone so sorry if it double posts. I can't find the pics but I will take some new ones. But basically I came off the stock body mounts for the beetle that are unused on Bradley's came up with square stock and then crossed between with 1x2 steel. I am not sure if we welded it or not. It was 17 years ago.

I thought I had pics on here somewhere but I guess not. Sag is a big problem in GT's also. The brace I have on my GT will work on a II also and requires no welding. I will look for the pics when I get home. Eric

Yep the glass distributor is very wrong! That is a regular unobtainable GTII windshield. Well unless you have a spare $50K lol

No the GT windshield is a corvette windshield. The GTII had all custom tooled glass.

That sounds like it should work. Mine are separate filtration. But mine is all controlled by a Digital Aquatics controller. The 90 has a 40 gal sump with UV and skimmer. For light I use four 90W atinics and two 250W metal Halides. And it is all cooled with a 1/4hp Artica chiller.

Yes. I have a 55 and 90 gal reef tanks. Just break open your wallet and start throwing money... Hey it's a lot like a Bradley. You spends tons of money and thousands of hours and when you go to sell it, it's worth nothing. Lol Eric

It is fairly easy to separate the engine on a GTII but close to impossible on a GT. I did change to the oil cooler that sits behind the fan shroud rather then enclosed in it and it helped quite a bit. If you still have issues you might be better off with a remote oil cooler rather then a scoop. Just my 2 cents. Eric A

So after try 20 I gave up and pulled the motor. What I found was tons of oil leaks and a major need to clean the motor and put in all new seals and do a through inspection on all major motor parts. So now I am off the split the case and take a trip to Fisher Buggies! Attachments:

So I have now tried grabbing the piece with a hook and I have tried ez-outs and now I have tapped it and inserted a screw and I can lift the whole back of the car with it. I don't know if this is the problem or not but I know for sure that if that piece got hot and swelled the only direction it had to go was to bind up the drive rod. I guess the engine is getting torn down. Crap!

When I was at mid America motorworks I did not see where they listed which it was for. That was a concern that I have the wrong pump for the rod.

It is built into the carb. It is a weird fuel pump. I have only seen a few of this type. I really don't know what the difference is. If there even is one.

I just pushed on the bottom of the pump with the rod once out of the car to see if it was really pumping fuel. I ordered a rebuild kit just in case the regulator is bad. I am going to try and tap it. I am just not sure if you can tap the Bakelite or if it will just crumble.

After some investigation I took the pump off and the plastic piece under it was broken and by looking at the wear on the top broken piece and the drive rod it has been for quite a while. The bottom piece is jammed in the motor. I may have to separate the case to get it out. Even if that is not the main problem it is definitely a big problem. The pump shoots gas about six feet when pumped by hand so I am guessing it is still good.
