Re: Caliper condition opinions

Andrew, I have been told that the piston "only" rides / touches on the inner seal, hence as long as the surface does not have protruding highs (rust), then I think you should be fine with the caliper. The piston edge on the right appears damaged on your picture (which could potentially har...

Re: this only just includes you guys.

Thanks, Mike! Exactly what I wanted to hear - from what I gather on the website, the 215 also fit 6" rim, so all good!

btw that is a stunning '73 Albert!! mine is a 73 (built Sept 72) in signal yellow that is currently undergoing major surgery

Re: this only just includes you guys.

Dougal,

from the less experienced like me, a dumb question: can I fit on my (non-RS flared narrow-bodied) regular LWB car on my standard fuchs 15 x 6" in front the 185 and in the back the 215 without any rubbing (assuming std ride height) ?
Or are 215 too much for normal rear arches?

Re: VIN plate stamping

Ok, thanks for all inputs. As I have all documents as well as the old piece in hand, I'll try my luck with my local P classic dealer. Based on your experience, would they stamp the piece (pior install) or prefer to stamp once fully on the chassis?

VIN plate stamping

As part of my full restauration, I unfortunately need to get the front trunk vin plate redone. Whilst one can now buy this piece (official P-number 91150109800) from all major online stores (Design911, Rose P, etc.), I haven't had any luck finding someone who can actually stamp me the new piece, so ...
