Re: Gearknob installation

I recently installed one using the official Porsche crush sleeve (3 times the price of the non OEM and probably no different). Had to use a rubber mallet in the end to get the shifter to slide inside the clamp, but once it got hold, it’s not going anywhere. I wouldn’t glue it. There are some YouTube...

Re: Three prong centre caps

I paid £20 for one on eBay recently and think there is a listing for 3 or 4 of them for £80
Plus postage. But top condition seem to fetch more I think.

Re: Insurance

I went to FJ and Flux and then went to ClassicLine after reading about them on Porsche forums, and they were cheaper and offered free international breakdown, and paid £24 for an agreed value. They were also the most professional and friendly. I pay under £200 for any car I’ve had with them, includi...

964/993 rear seats in 911T 1972

Hi all I’m hoping someone might be able to help. I need a set of rear seats for a 1972 and finding them hard to source. Would a set from a 964/993 work in a 911T 72? I saw somewhere that is called out rear seat for ‘up to 76’ implying they might be different after that year. But they look they shoul...

Outdoor Car Covers

Hi all I did search the forum but without much luck as the words ‘car’ and ‘cover’ come up in a lot of posts, which makes sense when you think about it. I am after an outdoor cover for a 912 which hopefully will soon be used for a 911T (if so can find a rhd 911T for sale). I wondered if anyone had a...

Touching in interior black metalwork

Hi all I have a few small chips to various bits of metalwork in the car (eg seat runners and seat hinges). I’m not looking to do a full restoration at this point in time, so I don’t want to either replace or take out and respray the entire parts. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good touch...

Black Ignition Coil - Where to find or how to create

Hi all I am wondering if anyone can help. I keep seeing 912 engines with black look ignition coils, whereas the ones typically available to buy are bright blue or silver/blue. I know the yellow Bosch stickers are repro and believe people are potentially spray painting a standard one black and then a...

Re: Help Restoring a 1965

Yes it fires up fine from cold. The car has sat around for 2 years and only driven a few hundred miles. The fuel filter looked like it may have dissolved slightly (the filter looked like it had collapsed in the clear housing). Not sure if old fuel could be to blame given the lack of use. It is being...

Re: Help Restoring a 1965

Thanks Mike. I want to get it pristine so want to get something really tidy. Think I may need to order this: https://www.stoddard.com/sic55921020-90155921020-sic55921020.html I do like the Aga Blue but not sure if I’ll put it back as I do like the black. That said, despite £40k spent on rebuilding i...

Re: Help Restoring a 1965

Hi all Thank you so much for your responses; it’s really helpful getting guidance in the early days to stop me going wrong. Slight different thoughts on they keys. My SC has the black/red keys but it does look like the 912 should be the plain silver PORSCHE embossed keys. @Mike the original colour w...

Help Restoring a 1965

Hi all Firstly just wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a 912 in the U.K. which came from the US back in 2005 via the Netherlands. Some paperwork says 1965 and others say 1966 so I need to get to the bottom of that. The car had a ‘full’ restoration in 2009 with windows out, new floor pans,...

Re: Covid Clear out of IB Panels and Exhausts, 30 items!

That is quite the collection. I may need the drivers wing, although don’t hold it as I need to take another look at how rough mine is.

I don’t suppose you have a rear decklid that would suit a 1980SC yet to be listed?
