DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Whereabouts in Somerset is that?

Hi Andy,

I would assume so, since HMRC will only look at the current transaction, ie a classic vehicle being imported from the EU.
Having said that, I'm definitely not an expert in the subject............

Well Chris Turner's engine lasted 30 race seasons not bad at all![/quote]

Absolutely! It finished the season, and its competition career, with three class wins at Wiscombe Park

Sedgemoor Market meet this morning -

I went to the New Year’s Day classic and historic vehicle meet at Sedgemoor Market



and bought another 914/6

Needs its own engine build thread I think? Sorry - I might have done it if I was building myself, but this technology is way above my knowledge. Always surprised something like a 996GT3 crank goes into an early engine! Assuming that’s what you are building of course It’s still a Mezger engine ……….....

Possibly! There aren’t many older ones left……….

Meanwhile, “somewhere in England”, parts are gathering for a new engine in the JW hillclimb 911. https://i.postimg.cc/kXWpTPjC/IMG_6295.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nLhSVjnV/71f81f2c-2c47-4b76-87f1-1df7a830d985.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4drW1WVn/54280778-a473-4ed2-8140-dd675fa1c983.jpg https://i.postimg....

Second question, what is the little spacer (item no. 6) in this diagram, part no. 911.341.615.00 ? (No longer offered)
Was it for USA cars ?

That looks like the steel bush in the middle of the rubber (or poly) bushes. It normally comes with the replacement bush kit.

Would like to see a picture of your RHD 1970 911T.

I have one!



Happy New Year Margaret!

JW

Have a great Christmas everyone, and a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

JW

That would have been a really interesting exercise on my old faithful 3.2 short stroke MFI engine that’s just retired after 30+ seasons of competition. There would have been more than one long bar showing on the graph!

JW

Received mine yesterday, many thanks Thomas!
