Bump - updated, plenty of other stuff needed, please see original post at start of thread. A.

So, as some may have noticed, I am currently restoring a 1973.5 911T. I've just had some tests done on the engine to see what sort of shape it was in. The main reason for this (apart from having no history unfortunately) was because the oil pressure gauge was showing c.10 psi per 1000 revs which, fr...

Thanks to all for no doubt sound advice. A mix of stubbornness and stupidity means that I will give the DIY option a go on at least one wheel and see how it turns out. Sladey, aware that those wheels aren't anodised on the link but thought his process for painting seemed sensible! Will report back o...

Many thanks Phil,

I hadn't realised the valve was adjustable but that all makes sense.

I'll have a go and let you know if that worked.

Cheers,

Al.

The deceleration valve on my 2.4T (CIS) was disconnected when I got the car so I have reconnected it. I reconnected it because, when I started the car before, it didn't idle well when cold and bounced up and down a lot. When I took my foot off the power while cold it would dive and cut out.

Have a set of '71 Fuchs on my '73 T. I will be going for the anodised finish on petals and satin painted inner. I think this is a daft question but I presume the whole wheel is anodised and then you paint the inner surface? Planning on using this process for painting: http://www.themotoringjournal.c...

pht9 - thanks, need to speak to Sir Phil of the Hindley about my car anyway and will no doubt be getting plenty of stuff for the resto from you.

Hey all, I'm currently working on the three speed fresh air blower fan. There had been a major meltdown under the dash (small fire in fact) so I've sourced a second hand switch unit for the dashboard and a new fan motor in its housing. The bakelite plug that goes into the fan housing broke when I wa...

Geez, how wrong can you be!

Out it comes!

Thanks Chaps

My 1973 US spec T has the remains of an auxiliary heater system and I'm wondering how this worked and whether to keep it or not. At the moment my setup includes: - a small oval shaped metal tank in the front compartment LHS where I would usually expect to find the windscreen washer bottle. The winds...

I have an RS front bumper. £180?

Can send photos if needed.

Hi Chopperman,

Not familiar with this glare shield, can you send a photo?

When you say door trim do you mean the pockets?

Cheers,

Al.

The switch parts of my lever box have broken apart, looks to have been a major short there in the past!!

Thanks,

Al
