DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Summer of 1984. Hopefully back on the road this year after a full respray and over a year off. So thats nearly 25 years.

I used to have exactly the same problem, a real pain. Replacing the earth strap between the battery and bulkhead and underneath between the chassis forks and bulkhead helped but did not cure. I changed the starter motor bush in the gearbox again helped but did not cure. I tried a higher Amp battery ...

Hey, I think they would look just fine fitted to my doors

Again thanks for the ideas. First stab at a repro hit nearly £400 ouch. Guess I will have to keep looking, unless someone else as some ideas?

Thanks for the info, I will give them a try. I guess I was hoping someone had an orginal or advice on how to modify another tach.

Hi, does anybody have a 12v tach for my 356? Recently but a type 1 engine in which does not use the orginal mechanical drive tach of the 356.

Have you checked that the brake linning is glued/ riveted to the shoe. I had the same problem with pulling to one side. Have now fiited 356C disc all around great

Yea it's sarf of us. 10th july @ Hickstead.

Down market to pick up the belts. Got any rad ideas on wing mirrors? I wounder what a pair of GT mirrors covered in brown leather would look like?

56 not ready until end of June. Panels starting to look really great, but the garage is really really slow.

So I am going around a mates to drink England to victory :D Should be able to make bug boogie, u going?

Meant to ask, what type of belt did you use for the N0 plate?

Hi Cubist, When the car was hot it did not even turn over, changed earth leads, batteries, main power lead, starter, starter bush, cleaned fuse box connections etc etc. Nothing helped. leave it to cool for 30 minutes and hey presto starts first time. Finally resorted and changed to 12v. Well at leas...

The oil warning guage on my 356 is broken. I fitted an aftermarket guage to keep an eye on the engine. What range should I start to get worried at? Above 150 degrees C?

Any thuoghts would be appreciated.

Worth the trip down to Exeter just to see the cars Roger has in his workshop, some very rare jewels. I have found his prices very good on panels etc.

I have listed below some of "said" interchangable parts found on another well know web site Front Suspension Rubber steering cookie that fits between steering shaft and steering box Tie rods Tie rod clamps, bolts, and washers Tie rod ends - VW tie rod ends do not have the grease fittings [...

Makes you go weak at the knees :D :D How much more beautiful can a car get???? :D :D

Use eurcos I think they would look really cool. Never seen a set on a 356. Dare to be different - Outlaw rules
