Re: Flares....
....as I've always said with these projects you learn on the job and I came to realise that not all short rear trailing arms are the same. The arms I had purchased, as with all short trailing currently available as far as I am aware, are those designed to work with coil overs as per the RSR. The ar...

Re: engine rebuild
I was reading in Dempsey that you can adjust your compression ratio by machining your con rod bushings off-centre, because the bushings are quite thick there's plenty of room to do so. This may not be the case of course with your posh ones. Might be worth asking Wossner. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn...

356 pistons ???
In my search for 911 pistons I noticed these pistons which appear to be nice original Mahle 83mm 356 pistons mis-listed as 911 pistons. Just thought I'd mention it in case they're a useful bargain for somebody. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385432899633 Don't take my word for it as I know little about ...

Re: attaching LWB bumper
1970 car. There's a right angle bracket for the bumper that attaches to this bracket on each battery box. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/895a4c3ae5485868f538281f77e8738c.jpg You can see it sat on top of the battery box here: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/3f196eeed7016a32c5bf42...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
After making up a cam nut removal tool today I found a bit of time to revisit this broken flywheel stud. After covering up all the journals and threads to protect from spatter, I welded the sheared head back on and it reversed straight out with the mini impact driver. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.co...

Re: Can you guess what it is yet?
From the head of the high tensile bolt I fashioned a couple of these prisms. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/a03bc8311fb6221e34290c6925350ca9.jpg Which I welded into the socket. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/1ae744de57bdb19993f1a0599188e5c2.jpg A smaller shim on the bottom of t...

Re: Can you guess what it is yet?
I cut the head off this high tensile bolt. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/13b5754f7582d5835b8009f7cb96fd4c.jpg The sleeve I cut goes perfectly over this 19mm impact socket. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/05e976732febfd544272d18f89deaef1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2024...

Re: Can you guess what it is yet?
Round two if anyone enjoys guessing... this one's dead easy. I put this old taper drive drill bit in a makeshift lathe. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/310f576e706bc1e571e4750f2717d947.jpg Cut the end off https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/ef3dc5456d5157fd03813964cac9998d.jpg And cu...

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
And 62.03mm across the engine bore although that was trickier to measure. Not sure what spec is. Maybe it says in Dempsey.
