DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

The Dansk version is excellent, great value I think, easy to obtain e.g. Design911 and fits perfectly.

Anyone have a pair of these laying about please, for mounting the oil tank on late F and G model 911's (possibly 73 - 89)?

M8, internal >28 mm.

Available new, but overpriced. Prefer cheap used.

Thank you! Dean

Great stuff, thanks!

Just came across the cup washer while browsing design911 - it's for the floorboards!

Looks like it is unavailable. Perhaps Buttys Bits might be able to make one for you....

It seems to be quite expensive for what it is, possibly paying for the brand name in this case. I think it depends how much you value the basic oscilloscope function, which is perhaps useful on a modern car I don't know. It doesn't measure current, which is useful quite often. I like the fact that t...

Interestingly, a 911 bonnet fits in a 944, with the seats backs down obviously.

I had to remove the cover and rotate the shift rod a little bit, as it was holding the cover down a bit too low.

The cover slipped on easily once the rod was in a good position.

All back together now, thanks for the excellent help!

The replacement end cover doesn't seem to want to go on, at least not willingly

How embarrassing, I only looked as far as the gear housing :roll: . That would be fun - its on a dolly, close to the floor. Perhaps best to just top it up to the fill plug for now, and swap it at a later date.... Thanks guys, you can let go of my hand now :P The 51 year old gears look like new! MyGe...

Sorry, more stoopid novice questions. The old front gearbox end cover is now is removed and the old gasket is removed from the face (grrrr!). Only about 1 litre of oil came out, even after tilting it about 5 deg. The book states 3 litres, so there might be 2 litres left in there - is this possible i...

Just a ping about my other technical questions from my Feb 13th post below if anyone can help with any of those details? It looks like the engine lid hinge ground straps go to the engine lid mounting bolts for cars that have those straps, so that question is answered (thanks to those guys). Thanks i...

The sleeve is interesting. I should have been clearer, sorry - I have a ground strap attached to each engine lid hinge, under the parcel shelf. You can see the left one hanging down in front of my fuel filter. I need to know where the opposite end of those two straps go....

So... it turned out that looked like a wonderful paint job under a cloudy sky and in the garage, turned out to be extremely poor in the sun. The highly polished clear coat and metallic flake were hiding sanding scratches and a cloudy colour coat, plus a large number of dust nibs. The painter didn't ...
