Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Since being roadworthy it's done about 1000 miles. Whilst recovering i thought i'd do an oil change for the first time since it's been driving. The sludge was more than i was expecting but the oil was not shining in the light.

pushrod tube seals

I'm looking for the best quality seals, usually red i believe, but all i keep finding are the crappy black o rings.

Re: Windscreen fitting

There a few glass options out there. chinese made ones, pilkington (i was told a 6 week wait) and porsche supplied. I bought the porsche one and fitted it with 8mm butyl tape. I also used clear primer on the screen and the black primer on the framework.

The chrome trim covers the butyl line.
