I read that Evans coolant has a lower heat capacity than water and the engine runs hotter. Have you seen any heat issues?

that much older than me. He was also extremely friendly and
personable.
My condolences to his family for what has to have been an
untimely
passing. :(
I once found his old Pantera rotting at a used car lot in
Monterey,
sitting outdoors. This was in the early 1990s. The beautiful
polished
engine looked like crap as the elements had taken their
toll--everything was corroded. I took it for a test drive and
it
ran
like crap too. The turbos weren't dialed in so it ran terribly,
then
spectacularly overheated and blew its water all over the place.
We
barely made it back to the dealer. It had been a fine car when
he
owned it, so it's sad the subsequent owner or owners really let
it
fall
apart.
It was later bought by a Silicon Valley guy who retrofitted a
standard
motor, then quickly tired of it and sold it to buy a Ferrari 308
from
the divorcing Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett-Majors. I then lost
touch
with it. I think it's still floating around in So-Cal?
Spare Dennis a thought each time you admire his timeless poster,
which
many, many of us have hanging on our walls.....

Dear Forum,
An Oklahoma Pantera owner bought a set of re-built brakes
from
one of our vendors, who is gone until next week. The problem is that
the
stock shims for the rear calipers were not shipped. The dumb question
is
whether the front shims will fit the rear calipers. We do have an
extra set
of front shims, but I do not think that they'll fit. Anyone with
actual
knowledge of this bit of stock brake trivia??
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Chuck,
Two things:
1). Front and rear caliper bolt spacing is different. You can't put a
front anything on the rear.
2). Rear calipers don't have shims. :)
Both front and rear have locking tabs which go immediately underneath
the head of the mounting bolts, but they are not shims. They have tabs
which are bent up to prevent bolt rotation. Front calipers also have
shims between caliper and upright which spaces the caliper inboard by
the thickness of the shim.
The caliper locking tabs for the GT5 (which has different calipers with
different bolt spacing for the different spindles/rear uprights) are
very cheap. However the ones for the early cars are obscenely expensive
for what they are.
Look at Wilkinson's website for exploded drawings and associated parts
descriptions with eye-watering prices for the locking tabs....

Chuck,
The front spacers will definitely NOT fit the rear.
The fronts have a 76mm bolt spacing while the rears have a 60mm
spacing.

They would be a fairly easy part to take to a local shop and get a
bunch laser cut, you'd have thought a vendor would have been all over
this as the lock tabs are a consumable that weakens after a couple uses
and the tab breaks off. The caliper bolt spacing isn't that uncommon of
the era, surely someone must sell equivalent lock tabs that don't come
in a De Tomaso plastic bag....?
Alternatively one could drill the bolt heads for safety wiring, or
purchase pre-drilled bolts. The second option may be more expensive
than new lock tabs in the short term, but almost infinitely reusable.

Chuck,
Two things:
1). Front and rear caliper bolt spacing is different. You can't put a
front anything on the rear.
2). Rear calipers don't have shims. :)
Both front and rear have locking tabs which go immediately underneath
the head of the mounting bolts, but they are not shims. They have tabs
which are bent up to prevent bolt rotation. Front calipers also have
shims between caliper and upright which spaces the caliper inboard by
the thickness of the shim.
The caliper locking tabs for the GT5 (which has different calipers with
different bolt spacing for the different spindles/rear uprights) are
very cheap. However the ones for the early cars are obscenely expensive
for what they are.
Look at Wilkinson's website for exploded drawings and associated parts
descriptions with eye-watering prices for the locking tabs....

Dear Curt,
Good question. I do not know the answer.
I do recall the rear brake mod of the eighties to put a
second rear caliper on the rear. It didn?t catch on, but some people
were trying to get more brake power on the rear brake rotors and they
used a second small stock rear caliper rather than a front one as you
suggest. I suspect that the obstacle is space for a caliper the size
of the front plus custom mount plus the cable actuated parking brake.
That is my guess which awaits factual refutation. FWIW.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Such sad news. I?ve know Dennis since I was a kid. I have vivid
memories of Dennis, blasting past my grandfather and I, on a trek to
Monterey in the ?80s - twin turbos at full song. He was an amazing
photographer, and one of my inspirations to shoot vehicles myself. His
sense of lighting, scale and design is unparalleled. He could make an
ugly duckling look like a prince, and a Countach the lust of every boy
that could afford a poster. His rear-quarter shot of a Lamborghini
Miura that was posted last year, captured the complete essence of the
car in a single shot.
Aside from being a fantastic shooter, he was true car guy and one of
the nicest people I?ve ever met. RIP, Dennis. Keep those turbos spoiled
at full song.
