Heritage EFI package
Now available is an all new EFI kit using the Jenvey Heritage throttle bodies along with the DTA fast ECU.
The kit includes inlet manifold, Heritage throttle bodies, air horns, throttle linkage, ECU unit with data cable, TPS sensor air temp sensor, crank trigger sensor, water temp sensor, Lambda sensor, crank trigger wheel, all connectors, gaskets and all hardware.
A suitable fuel supply kit is also available including low and high pressure fuel pumps, pre and post inline fuel filters, fuel regulator, non return valves, fuel divert valves, fuel swirl pot, all high and low pressure braided fuel hoses along with all -6 AN fuel line fittings in Red and Blue.
The kit is available to suit both Ford 302 small block and Ford Coyote V8 engines.
The Jenvey Heritage throttle bodies resemble Weber carbs and have all fuel injectors and the TPS sensor hidden inside the throttle bodies.
There are no exterior fuel rails as regular fuel connections as used on a Weber carb set up are used to link the throttle bodies together.
The result is an EFI set up that looks like a Weber carb set up as used on the original GT40's.
The inlet manifold is supplied with all of the correct fittings for blanking holes and for water hose connections.
There is also a hidden vacuum chamber inside the inlet manifold for brake servo use if required.
A suitable Turkey pan is also available as an option.
Early Twin Tail Light Conversion Kit
New for 2026 is a conversion kit to replace the single multi function late tail light units with the earlier twin separate tail lights units.
The kit includes two GRP twin rear light recess moldings, a pair of upper Orange indicator lights, a pair of Red lower rear tail light/brake light units and paper templates to locate the moldings in the correct position on the rear of the car.
The indicator lights are also available in Red for the US market.
To install simply tape the location templates onto the rear of the car and mark around the required hole.
Remove the template and cut the marked hole out using a cutting disc.
Bond the twin light moldings in position and install the lights.
Upgraded UN1 gearbox Input Shaft
A new upgraded UN1 gearbox input shaft is now available.
The original shaft is only 21 mm in diameter and has a smaller section of only 16 mm in diameter which results in a weak point.
The upgraded shaft is 25.5 mm in diameter and has no smaller diameter weak point.
The clutch plate spline on the standard shaft is only 22 mm diameter with 21 fine splines whilst the upgraded shaft is 27 mm diameter with 10 large splines allowing the use of any Ford Small block V8 clutch drive plate for a much stronger clutch option.
The upgraded shaft is CNC machined in EN36 and heat treated.
It is also longer than than the standard shaft meaning that the front end of the shaft will be fully engaged in the standard crank spigot bearing without the use of an extended spigot bearing being used.
If an extended spigot bearing is not used the shaft will not be supported at the end.
For reference the Black shaft in the pictures is the standard UN1 version and the steel coloured shaft is the upgraded version so that you can visually see the difference.
The upgraded shaft is included as part of our Ford small block V8, Ford Coyote V8 and Chevrolet V8 engines to UN1 gearbox bellhousing conversion kit.

These wheels are only available in a knock off type wheel.
Suitable hubs , spinners and drive pins are also available.
Aluminium Bellhousing
A new and improved version of our popular cast aluminium bell housing that converts the Renault 20, 25, 30 and UN1 gearbox to the Ford Windsor small block V8 engine.
Bell housing versions are also available to suit the Ford Coyote V8 and Chevrolet small block 350 V8.
The main change is that the lower outer flange has been removed allowing for the gearbox to be easily removed from the TSC GT40 replica chassis, leaving the engine in place, when needing to replace or service the clutch.
The bell housing is supplied as a kit package including clutch arm, gearbox input shaft, engine dust shield cover and all fixings etc.
The bell housing uses a full size Ford 157 tooth flywheel, 10.5" clutch disc and full size Ford 302 starter motor which totally eliminates clutch slip and starter motor hot start problems and burn out when using the smaller alternatives.
GT40 Replica Seat
A new version of our IVA compliant GT40 replica seat is now available featuring a re shaped rear cushion and additional eyelet stitching.
The seat covering is a choice of Leatherette, Leather or Alcantara with either Brass or Chrome eyelets set out in the same pattern as an original GT40 seat.
The seats are based on a jig welded tubular seat frame to give the seat good structural integrity to provide back support in the event of an accident.
The unique seat base features stretched webbing similar to the original GT40 seat to provide a super comfortable seat base and not just a layer of foam that compresses and on a long trip results in a numb bum like on other replica seats.
These seats represent the ultimate in both looks and practical comfort with added structural integrity for a GT40 replica seat.

Wheel Spinner Tool
We have now introduced a new tool for use with our knock off wheels.
This tool is designed for tightening and loosening 3 eared wheel spinners and is suitable for use with both types of GT40 wheel spinners including the long and short eared versions.
Its designed to be used in conjunction with either a 3/4" square drive breaker bar or 3/4" square drive torque wrench.
The tool totally eliminates the shock load on one ear of the spinner caused when tightening spinners using a mallet or hammer.
It drives the spinner at the base of the legs, which is much stronger, as opposed to the end of the spinner which often results in a bent, or even worse, broken spinner legs.
The drive pins are rubber covered to eliminate spinner or wheel damage and the centre drive tube fits into the hub to keep the tool centrally and firmly located when in use.
Use this tool to eliminate the fear of bent and broken spinner legs once and for all.
Available exclusively form Tornado Sports Cars.
Carbon Fibre Reinforced GRP Bodyshell
We have now introduced a new Carbon Fibre reinforced version of our standard GT40 body shell.
This offers many of the advantages of a full Carbon body shell without the associated high costs.
The body shell is of a sandwich construction using regular GRP and Carbon which results in an increase in strength and a reduction in weight.
This upgraded body shell is ideal for use with our Aluminium honey comb or Carbon honey comb Monocoque chassis which results in the lightest and stiffest GT40 replica car available.
Chrome Powder coated Filler Caps
Now available is a new version of our standard GT40 Replica Fuel Cap.
These caps are available with a powder coated cap lid and do not require polishing.
The attached pictures are of the Chrome version but they are also available in various colours.

The kit is supplied complete with all fixings and fittings required for installation.
These jacking points are not designed to be used but as a visual addition only.
Weber 8 Stack Turkey Pan
We have now introduced a new cold air Turkey pan to compliment our 48 IDF carburetor and inlet manifold kits. The Turkey pan forms a heat shield to prevent the heat of the engine causing fuel evaporation in the fuel lines and float bowls leading to erratic running. The sides and ends of the pan are removable to allow easy access to the carbs for jetting and tuning. They are manufactured in Aluminium and cut by CNC ensuring a perfect fit. An IDA version will also be available in the coming soon. Custom made one off Turkey pans to suit other carbs and manifolds are also available.

Official Tornado Polo shirts are now available as worn at the National Kitcar show at Stoneleigh by the company representatives on the exhibition stand.

Aluminium shock absorbers

8 Stack Weber IDF carb set up
We now have available 8 stack IDF carb systems complete including inlet manifolds, carbs, linkages, fuel line kits and cold air turkey trays. As these kits have been so difficult to obtain already modified to suit the GT40 application, we have decided to start producing a custom made package.
Carbs are available in a choice of both 44 and 48 IDF sizes.
Manifolds are available with and without a vacuum take off port for brake servos.
Fuel line kits are available in both push on rubber fuel hose as original or in aeroquip type fittings with braided stainless fuel hoses.
Improved speedo trigger wheel
Now available is a new electronic speedo sensor trigger wheel.
The wheel has 40 teeth which gives an improved smoother signal over the 6 CV joint cap screw heads usually used to generate a signal.
The trigger wheel bolts directly to the CV joint and is supplied in two halves to save having to remove the driveshaft and CV joint for installation.
The calibration code in the speedo unit will need to be changed to get the correct readings with the new wheel.
To do this simply multiply the existing figure by 6.666.
The signal is also much cleaner as the sensor is reading on a flat surface as opposed to the curved cap screw resulting in a smoother more accurate reading on the speedo needle.
Rear upgraded hand brake kit
C 
A new more effective high static hold rear handbrake caliper conversion kit is now available. The calipers feature a die cast body with a forged cable attachment arm and weigh just 1.5 kgs each. The kit includes a pair of rear calipers, 2 sets of high friction composite metallic pads, adapter mounting brackets, all required bolts and fixings and handbrake cable end fittings. The kit is easy to install and bolts on in minutes. An installation video can be seen here at the following link

Curved plastic rear window
GT40 replica rear window options have always been either a flat plastic window secured with screws which was prone to sag
due to the heat of the engine or a shaped and curved glass window which was bonded in place.
We have now produced tooling to be able to manufacture a shaped and curved plastic rear window.
As a high temperature is used to form the curvature of the window this will totally eliminate any sag due to the heat of the engine
which is much lower than the forming temperature used during manufacture.
Screws that match those in the side windows and light covers can be used for fixings to give an original look which is not possible when using the glass window.
Yet another first from Tornado Sports Cars!
Bill board tyre lettering kits
New improved Billboard lettering kits are now available again.
You can letter your modern road tyres to look like historic race tyres.
Kits include lettering , adhesive, tyre cleaner and instructions.
Any known style of lettering is available including pin stripes for tyres such as Goodyear Blue streaks etc.
Prices vary depending on the number of letters etc.
These letters are not just masked and painted but are proper actual white rubber letters which are 2mm thick bonded in position using the special glue supplied in the kit.
14" Diameter replica steering wheel
We have now introduced a new 14" diameter version of our popular GT40 replica steering wheel.
Already available in 15" as original and a smaller 13" diameter, some customers feel the 15" version is too large and the 13" version is too small, so the 14" version offers the best of both Worlds.
None of our replica steering wheels feature a laser etched logo in one of the wheel spokes which is not an original feature of a GT40 steering wheel.
All wheels are supplied in Black leather with satin Black slotted wheel spokes as original.
All wheels are supplied with an aluminium center wheel boss, badge and fixings pack.
A removable aluminium quick release steering boss adapter plate is also available.
