Gave myself some weekend work to do painting this lot.
Vapour blasting is fantastic!

Got my first new Porsche yesterday. I know the lack of oily bits divides opinion but gotta say so far I love it. As a daily driver that is. Still need many carbs in my life!

Heat insulating spacers in and carbs balanced. Idling a bit low but I will do a tune up after I add the CDI system.
Anyone know what size thread for the bolt that holds the fan pan in? I'm missing one

It's nothing special - just an M6 thread (ie, 10mm spanner size...).
Thank you. New one fitted. I could only get them in 16mm length so I cut it down to about 10mm. I wasn't completely sure that too long but wouldn't interfer with the fan but since the fan fits inside the be pan I think I'm being silly.
I didn't have any black paint left so that is a job for another time
