In my search for 911 pistons I noticed these pistons which appear to be nice original Mahle 93mm 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 ...

Thanks for organising Neil, and sorry for dragging you across the site to bring me my pass.

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...

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...

I'll find out another time how well it holds...

Yes sure!

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...

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...

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...

From Wikipedia, some guys told a story of their shill bidding and... Walton and his associates were charged and convicted of fraud by federal authorities for their eBay shill bidding. Probably because it deceives buyers regarding the market value because one reason for buying in an auction is you kn...

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

I don't have any experience what the crank bearings should look like. All were seated properly, no rotation. They appear to be mint on the inside. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240502/ea001695d32eb189b04f48660059e8f0.jpg But on the outside they appear to show signs of oil erosion, which is a su...

By way of counterpoint - the 700,000 mile Porsche 911. Track days, regular oil changes and used daily. Although to be fair, it did have an engine refresh after 383,000 miles to deal with some minor oil leaks.
