DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Well done getting back in one piece Gary. Empathise with your decision. Would have driven me nuts listening to a mysterious noise that's only getting worse. Many thanks for the pictures and diary .

Looks like I'm agreeing with Graham on this . Felt the same way about not replacing studs. If it ain't broke ...

Personally, think line boring again is way over the top unless you really need to. You'd also then be stuck with finding higher OD bearings. I'd measure as far as I can (plastigauge / bore gauge) then provided all looks good, assemble carefully with lube checking crank doesn't tighten up. That's wha...

Hi Rob, I think a custom machined straight bar and plastigauge might be a better way to check this. Do you really think it could now be out of true after line boring from factory? Or are you concerned that some apertures are worn due to spun bearings?
Cheers

That's great thank you. I'll call when I arrive. When's the best time for you and considering queues, etc?

Can I use your ticket please? Could be left with someone on the gate maybe?

Cheers Chris

Thanks for posting. Only half an hour away for me so I'll head over for a look.
Cheers

Hi Neil, Something like this should work from your 6V system. Can't vouch for quality. Just make sure you run it from a fused 6V feed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355513957335?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=EAIaIQobChMIzMr...

If it's not the clutch, check linkage bushes. They wear and/or go brittle and break. I had exactly these symptoms last year. Turned out to be the plastic cup that sits in the ball & socket joint beneath the gear stick. The cup had broken resulting in excessive play. Worth also checking the bushe...

Another vote for the midlands from me

Looking great with the new paint. Well done Rob, the effort is paying off .

Sounds fine to me. What's the voltage when the revs are at 2k?

I'd love a go on that

im surprised that gets a CAT B and must be broken, looks easily salvageable to me? Wondered that too. Was thinking about how intense the fire got and the extent of damage (burned out hoses, electrics, magnesium inferno, extent of structural damage, etc ...). Rear interior looks ok, so must have bee...

Thought it was a puzzle with a hidden Porsche somewhere . You've put a fool out of his misery.
