Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

The front starter bracket, more brass, formed from one piece. I used solder to make the fillet as it is a stamped steel piece on the real engine.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

I want to see you build this in 1/1. Would be better than the original.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

Thanks Guys!!!

I machined the mounting hardware from aluminum. Also note the Philips heads in the starter case. I'll make the electrical connectors later. For now the starter is done.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

The distributor will be an OEM GM item too; a recurved HEI unit from an L82, (like on my real car).
I designed the cap and coil in SolidWorks.
The electrical connection plugs will be grown on it too, but I won't be using the ring that locks the plug boots in place, it's a pain in real life.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

Knowing the inside would probably not grow as clean as needed to fit to the aluminum distributor base I grew a jig with it to hold the cap so it could be machined to fit. Worked like a charm too.

The distributor base was machined from aluminum. The cap is a cast resin copy.

Oil filter machined from resin stock. It will be a Delco PF1218. (More parts off my real car…)

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III

Finished oil filter. I milled out the mounting location of the block so the filter sits in to it instead of flush on it. Made a decal for the label.* I date my filters when I install them. Taking a guess on this one…

Assembled scratch-built HEI distributor. I'll add the tach and power wires later, the plugs are already on it.

What material did you use to make the boots?
