Re: Lock barrel brass tumblers help
Judging by Pelican posts, there is only one supplier of the tumblers, but they only supply sets to locksmiths. There are similar-looking versions for other cars on AliExpress, but I haven't come across any that look correct, and certainly none specific to our cars.. Thanks anyway! https://www.aliexp...

Re: Happy days, 911S is alive!
Great news, is this something that any rolling road place can do, or it needs someone with early 911 experience?

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Great workmanship though

Re: Fuel hose from tank to pump
I'm not sure from the description whether the leak is at the tank end or at the back under the pump. Two thoughts spring to mind - if you need to drain the tank, you can drain it via the fuel level sensor on the top of the tank - I use a Draper drill mounted pump with long fuel pipes (keep away from...

Re: MFI fuel pump restoration tips needed
The fuel pressure in the circuit is dictated by the pressure control valve in the fuel filter housing return pipe fitting. If the pressure is low then either the pump is weak in its pressure delivery or the valve spring is weak. It is more likely to be the valve spring than the pump in my experienc...

Re: MFI fuel pump restoration tips needed
My 2d.. Iirc the outer body is crimped locally to assemble the pump and seal it so disturbing that assembly may be the death of the pump, re assembly will be harder to do and keep it petrol tight? A leaking pump where it is located is not a good thing, very close to the exhaust tubes. I think you a...

Re: 912 Seat Mechanism - seeking parts reclining mechanism
The bracket assemblies shown in your pics certainly crop up on Ebay, at a price of course like everything for our cars, and often with the spline bolt still attached. I needed a spline bolt, and had to buy the whole assembly to obtain one. If it is the spline bolt that you need, note that there are ...

Re: MFI fuel pump restoration tips needed
Isn't it just as easy to test it on the car though, especially if it was previously running OK? In my case, I have a pressure gauge that I can attach in the engine bay. The last time I ran the engine, the pressure was at the low end of the range (I don't remember the numbers are, but recall that it ...

Re: MFI fuel pump restoration tips needed
Perfect, thanks, but all the talk of O-rings put me off opening it up. It works and doesn't (didn't) leak so I think I'll just clean it and paint it with POR15!

MFI fuel pump restoration tips needed
MFIfuelpump2.JPG I would like to remove the outer case from this MFI pump, to soak the case in rust dissolver and paint or plate it. Can anyone that has opened one up please tell me what to expect? e.g. will it all come out from the case as one unit if I remove the 4 slotted screws on the hose end,...

Re: opinions about chopping off heat exchangers
Thanks for your opinions, cant wait to attack this now
Perhaps I only need to cut off the 3 into 1 pipe, and probably best not to cut close to the exhaust outlets to avoid dust being thrown up towards the valves and possibly into cylinders!
