Hi Guys, . The extra strengthening on the front wheels was done as the drivers side rim collapsed at the very end of the back straight at Pukekohe. Ken was driving, thats him with the dark shirt having a fag to calm his nerves. This meeting was a reverse course, the powers thought it might be a good idea to have a race meeting reverse direction.

This is that accident damage-#105 and #107

Happy New Year to all on here. 2018 is a big year for us and the Morrari recreation and we look forward to keeping this thread going with updates. And as always we are always looking for photos and recollections of the original Morrari
The transaxle is all jigged up and mounted on the Morrari specific chassis table. Centred and wheelbase marked out so things are progressing....
Greg is having trouble posting photos.

That's an early photo of it, before it bashed about too much. Should be a good reference one for Greg.
Set of Borrani wires for sale on trade me recently. Not cheap but try and find a set of these in NZ.
Hi Steve, Yep it's amazing what quality the old slides have, I've got some fantastic ones of Red Dawson (dad was a mate of his), Graham Hill, Jim Palmer, etc from that era, all never before seen, which I'm am looking forward to posting on this site when I can figure out the best way of doing it.......any guidance appreciated...Cheers, Reece.
Greg, I have come across a guy who is making the correct sized tubing for Ferraris! He was bemoaning that it was near impossible to find the right size, then came across all the dies and machinery to make it, so he bought them, as you do!
What guidance do you need Reece? You obviously posted one good one from a slide. How did you manage that?
Send me a PM. Quality of branded slide film was generally very good indeed and if they have been stored properly, (ie out of direct light), they retain the colour. Even if the colour isn't perfect, it often isn't too difficult to improve it and it requires no specific skills.
