THE ERA GT KIT
AN UNASSEMBLED PRODUCTION
CAR |
Like the ERA 427SC, the
ERA GT kit was designed to be
put together like a production car. No
fabrication is necessary, so your garage simply becomes the final assembly
line. Carefully chosen components are thoroughly integrated into the overall
design. All the holes, caged nuts, receptacles, brackets, adapters, etc.
that are necessary to mount these components were designed into our kit from
the beginning.
Except for the drive-train, wheels and some standard suspension components, everything necessaryto complete a finished automobile is there. From a custom aluminum radiator to the minutia of wiring harness clips. Furthermore, the standard pieces are the highest quality . We don't skimp, even where you can't see . |
THE ERA BODYThe ERA GT body is a near-perfect copy of the original Ford GT40 MK I race car, with improvements made for longevity, silence, and weather sealing. Because many of our cars will be used on the street, our standard fiberglass layup is formulated toward maintaining excellent body shaperather than feather-light weight (although custom layups are possible). The front and rear body sections are hand laid using random fiberglass mat so that the paintable surface will show no cloth pattern, even after many years. |

THE |
The ERAGT CHASSIS (LHD or
RHD) is a semi-monocoque
structure like the original. Ours uses 14 to 20 gage
stainless steel , slightly thicker than
original, instead of the original cold-rolled mild steel. The chassis is
about 50 lbs heavier, a small price to pay for greatly increased corrosion
resistance and reliability. The only major change from the original is the
substitution of a graphite/kevlar reinforced plastic roof for the original
steel one (which wasn't particularly structural anyway.) By narrowing
the rocker panels slightly, we give you more interior
space and comfort . Unlike the original GT40, our chassis is designed
for an efficient (optional) air conditioning system.
All the components that you must install are simply bolted in. The chassis already has caged nuts for almost everything imaginable. |
SUSPENSIONThe E.R.A. kit includes front and rear aluminum castings, ball joints, bushings and control arms, all closely duplicating the original car. Pin-drive pieces are optional, replacing the designed-for Corvette components. |

|
The E.R.A. custom aluminum/magnesium alloy uprights accept production axles, bearings and brakes so that servicing is easy and economical. Coil-over dampers from Spax, Koni and other sources are optional. A rear sway bar is also available. |
OTHER SYSTEMSBRAKES/CLUTCH Except for the rotors and calipers (from late model Corvette), the ERA GT comes with all hydraulic and mechanical parts for the brakes and clutch control systems. From the pedals to the stainless steel sheathed caliper flex lines, everything is included and pre-installed.

All lines and fittings are also included and installed.
