Re: Correct radio for a 73 ?

I bought my Blaupunkt Frankfurt from Chrome London also. Looks lovely - Personally I'm not sure it makes much difference going through the dash and its alot easier to just install over the top.

Re: Correct (?) Tyres

cost v. aesthetics. There isn't really any, what I think as reasonable priced tyres, in original size now (look out for correct speed rating). The Fuldas used to be quite cost effective, and I ran them on mine for quite a few years. If you must have period look and original spec it's going to cost y...

Correct (?) Tyres

I just failed my MOT on my 73T and one of the failures was my cracked Fulda Y2000 tyres. I've subsequently found out these are quite expensive tyres to replace - what does everyone else use?

Re: I HATE vehicle thieves. Tracker advice

Not sure that above the fuel tank will work in a 911!! From my Mtrack days it was very hard to find a secret place for it. Glad the car never got stolen. And, as an aside, having the Mtrack in the 996GT3RS voided my Porsche extended warranty! Daft eh? A completely standalone device with exactly the...
