So, anyone who’s seen a real GT40 will know the sills look like this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ie with some lovely beading in and I wanted to replicate that.<\/p>\n

The original ribs should be 1.060″ (26.924mm) wide by 0.240″ (6.096mm) high according to\u00a0http:\/\/www.racingicons.com\/gt\/process.htm<\/p>\n

While not quite right (but IMO close enough for a space frame replica!) I noticed you could get a 1″ (25.4mm) wide by 3\/16″ (4.7625mm) high half round aluminium strip for a very reasonable price.<\/p>\n

A bit of cutting later and I had 4 long and 2 short strips. Then hammer flat the ends<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and grind them so they are round.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These will go here<\/p>\n
