Re: >>> 2013 DDK Calendar - order yours here <<<

Got mine today too, many thanks. The rest of Christmas is going to be a real anticlimax now... the Ferryman (and Ferrywoman) card and my calendar arriving on the same day, brilliant!

Re: My 1965 912

Hi Howard, I did have an issue with my gauge a few years ago. The actual "thermocouple" (possibly the wrong word) broke off and was discarded. Through Terry Allen it was refurbished by Knowsley Instrument Services Ltd. in Liverpool. It now works ok but it does have a red light at 6 O'clock...

Re: My 1965 912

Beautiful work! Definitely mor pictures, please.

Grenoble, why the interest in the outside temperature gauge? Mine has it and it works! (although it is a little optomistic).

Re: Powder coated steel wheels

I had exactly the same issue when I had mine done through Max at Revival Cars. I never even saw them to be honest, Max simply sent them back and they stripped , cleaned and re-coated them.

It seems like this is standard practice (they're just old wheels :wink: might be the attitude.)

Re: Tom's 912 Soft Targa for Sale

Hi Tom,

It was me that guided you back to civilization from Hedingham, it was good to meet you and have a short drive together!

Surely the alternative solution would be to rent another garage and keep the car! I know I'd regret selling it if it were mine.

Re: Sausage Rolls & Cookies? At Castle Hedingham?

Thanks to Ferry Woman for baking the sausage rolls and cookies. Thanks also to Ferryman for bringing them along. It was good to put a few faces to names.

Re: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2012 / 2013 DDK Subs due <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Subs sent, thanks Bootsy. I had loads of problems with Paypal this time round (possibly me :oops: ) and couldn't find the "send as gift" option. Please let me know what the fees are and I'll add it to a donation to the "10K for 10" fund.

Re: Metal thickness

Barry, Why is there the such a variation from the nominal size in sheet steel? We have the same swg (18swg - 0.048" and 20swg - 0.036" etc.) in my industry but the tolerance is less than 0.001" so I am just curious.

Looking at the photos again the 914/6 looks really good. Have you been doing a lot of polishing?
