Re: Accelerator pedal fail

Probably a good idea to re-bush the pedal assembly and get a replacement throttle pedal. You're always welcome to take a look at my car for comparison.
Cheers

Re: 911T - any thoughts on engine noises. Main bearing?

Sounds pretty normal to me too. Those Webers probably need setting up. Sounds like they're spitting back which suggests some throats are running a bit lean on idle circuit. 911 bottom end is very robust so unless abused doesn't normally give trouble. Can help with setup. Give me a shout if you're st...

Re: Near side 911 silver anodised door frame

Got one in the shed that I've been tripping over for years :wink: .

It's not perfect, and missing a couple of screws but you can have it if it helps you out. Or make a donation to DDK charity if you like.

PM your email address and I'll send photos.

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Fan Housing

Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate that.
Vapour blast and chromate it is then. I'll look into getting it done.

Kind regards,

Fan Housing

Hi All,

Can anyone suggest where to get my fan housing tidied up? It's been painted in the past, so I guess it needs stripping and clear anodizing??

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Hydraulic Tensioners on 2.0 Motor

I've got a spare pair of safety collars if you need - ordered two pairs by accident. Yours for £20 incl postage.

Re: Hydraulic Tensioners on 2.0 Motor

Many thanks for the information and offer to share info from Wayne Dempsey's 101 projects book. I'd forgotten I owned a copy of Wayne's How to Rebuild and Modify Porsche 911 Engines, and it also advises swopping the chain housings on '65 to '67 cars in order to use the pressure fed tensioner kit. I ...

Re: Hydraulic Tensioners on 2.0 Motor

The tensioners I've got are part 901.105.519.0R. So don't look to be the 930 type??

Thanks

Re: Hydraulic Tensioners on 2.0 Motor

Thanks Brendan,

Think it's the 930 type tensioners that are already in there. The ones with the oil bleed screw.

Hydraulic Tensioners on 2.0 Motor

Hi, I've rebuilt the tensioners and fitted safety collars on my 2.0 engine but would really like to do the pressure fed tensioner upgrade. However, the available kits look to be for later engine chain housings, having more cover studs than on my early engine. Does anyone know, can the hydraulic tens...

Re: Powdercoat Removal

Many thanks for the replies everyone. You've convinced me blasting is the way to go. I'll appeal to whoever does it to be as gentle as they can. I did consider the wire brush method but it barely makes an impression on the power coat which has adhered very well to the frame and cured really hard too...

Powdercoat Removal

Hi, Wondered if anyone has good experience of the best way to remove powdercoat from a tubular chassis. The chassis has had some corrective brazing work done, hence the existing powder coat has burnt off in places. I want to get the whole thing stripped now for either painting or re-coating. Seems l...

Allen Head Nut M8

As used to secure the cam housing. I'm missing four of these if anyone has surplus.
Thanks
