DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

. Finished off refreshing the gauges by removing the rev counter - which involves taking off the steering wheel/hub followed by the column plastic 'clamshells' : https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53664031333_6470ff933f_w.jpg - I think that's the first 911 I've owned where there wasn't any damage t...

. The 2.7 litre 911 engines have a stroke of 70.4mm so if using the 90mm pistons with a 66mm stroke, the swept volume - & hence the compression ratio - will be (significantly) lower. For instance, if using std 2.7RS pistons with a 66mm crank you'll end up with (from memory) a CR of ~ 7:1 Thus to...

Do you realise that if fitting 90mm pistons you'll end up with quite a low compression ratio ?

Sadly not a unique situation - many 'previously believed lost or scrapped' historic race cars have been 'discovered/restored' - Porsches included - & often go undetected for many years whilst they're in private collections. It's been happening for many years but is more difficult only nowadays...

. Both underbonnet lamps were missing from my car & I was somewhat surprised at just how much the prices for these Hella lamps varied - cheapest I found were from Heritage Parts (even more so with a DDK discount !) & the most expensive were over 200% dearer ! :roll: In addition I decided to ...

. These are non-matching - one (n/s) '69-'73 & one (o/s) from a later model. Both were fitted to/removed from my 1971 911. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53644477341_2ef038fa5c_c.jpg Nearside (LHS) '69-'73 version https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53644477671_1e77eb1cb8_z.jpg https://live...
