GT40 Replica/Kit Car Experiences?

Tim,

I should have looked closer instead of looking and fiddling with everything else, so you were right.
It had cracked right through one side of the 2 lug flange on the blind side so you could not see it until taken right out of car. As soon as the key was turned to on, it was forcing the lugs to hinge down and thus causing the loss of contact when under circuit use.

So with what you and Gordon have said, I shall have greater awareness in future.

Glad you found the source of the problem: at least its a relatively easy fix!

Oh, oh, that will teach me to speak too soon about finding the final problem.

Yes, the battery cut out switch had broken, and yes the car was starting perfectly until ............. last afternoon it all failed again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very embarrassing, as we were at a prestigious event.

It is the ECU
