Graham could you fit a 911 shifter on the left hand side ? you could then convert the transmission to a side shift as used in the Porsche 916, there is a kit available from Martin Bott in Germany https://www.bugat5speed.de/en/porsche-cars/special-parts-for-porsche-transmission/103-gearbox-conversion...

Wayne I think I saw some 964 stainless heat exchangers in my shed recently, let me know if they are possibly of use and I will check them out.

Thanks for the kind words Wayne, it was always a pleasure working with you with plenty of laughs along the way, I will always remember the rebuilt gearbox (from the US ?) which had one forward and five reverse gears. A 964 C2 would also be my choice for an everyday driver something midway between st...

Barrie
