DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I did an update last Sunday but it was lost in the upgrade. Will try and re-do it this weekend along with current progress

I will be in this

Oh bugger

I forgot to write about the stud that caused this whole thing! This went in OK. The stud was supplied with loctite already applied to it which was useful. I screwed it in by hand but it just kept on screwing in so to keep it at the right depth I popped a bolt in from the other side https://uploads.t...

I’m not sure if I mentioned it the other week but I re-torqued all the head bolts. I say re-torqued but actually all I did was check that they were torqued correctly - nothing was loose - the torque wrench just clicked out every time. I now wanted to set the tappets - I’m not sure if I’ve done this ...

I can’t believe what a meal I made of this. First I took my time making sure everything fitted OK - cleaning out some of the threads with a tap https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240414/73478604b183cca862bad51be55598fa.jpg And then it was all screwed in place.

However I’d forgotten about the replacement power cable as well - they supply a thicker power cable leading straight to the starter motor. So I had to work out where that was going to go...

Thank you. Which of the Ian’s?

Not ian2.2s - he’s sharing with me

Thanks guys. I feel complete now.

I do wish someone would let me know if Pirelli are making the 215/60 again.

It would really make my week.

Thought it was very nice even if as Neil says it is not what I thought it was but then I thought Andy’s 904 was lovely too.

Looks pretty lovely to me Jason

Good idea - I’ll probably do the same at some stage

I doubt this will be of interest but I have a couple of really nice self-locking struts (from rennline IIRC) but they are aluminium and carbon. I suppose you could spray the carbon black. They are nicely made - the bonnet locks open and then lifting it slightly unlocks it With my AC they will no lon...
