Wow. I hope that the current owner of that fire extinguisher system can reach out to Marty and those parts can be reunited with #40. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

a friend of mine was the previous owner for a long time, he still has the original fire extinguish systen in his garage. Yes...Mike and I are aware that the fire system was removed at some point. The actuator on the front cowl is missing and a small round chrome-cap has been placed over the empty hole. A modern/ approved fire system will be onboard #40 shortly , but the unit that ran in the 24Hr would be a cool "Re-uniting " with the car. Do let me know when you meet up with your friend if he's interested in selling off the part. Also if he is still has the 8 1/2 " x 15" rear Fuchs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Marty |

Where does the information come from that there were 8 1/2 " x 15" rear Fuchs rims on the back? At LM in rear was 7x15, later 9x15 Minilite and 10x15 Gotti was used. I will think about the price for the fire system. Thats my in the 80s, put on the sticker 914 & 6 wishes Wolfram |

Did you drive #40 on streets , or just take to special events/ track use/ etc. ¿? Cool to have you on board the Forum here...and let me know if/ when you are ready to sell off the fire-bottle (use my PM) . Marty |

Interesting it ran the rear sway bar, did all the factory GT cars run the rear bar? Seems that many 914 race cars don't always use them.

People often run without a swaybar for AX, but on the big track, it really helps keeping the rear planted in the corners corners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
