Re: Porsche 356 Registry magazines

Thanks Neil, I am a member... Call me a ludite, I prefer paper to looking at a screen. Just trying to fill some gaps when I was not a member and a few I must have lost!

Re: Chrome on Steel Wheels

I think Richard King has had some re-chromed recently, done properly by the looks of them. Seem to remember pics on KK's instagram feed.

Re: Driver's seat not sitting square

Can you slide the seat out Neil, see if any of your bolts are loose? I take it the base is cockeyed as well as the back?

Re: Carb linkage parts?

Wouldn't that part from Farnell work if the ball bit could screw into it? I'm thinking that would be any easy bit to make if you know someone with a lathe Neil??

Re: Set of 67/68S heads
