RECEIVED SOME NEW PARTS AT THE WEEKEND...

Post by Lightweight_911 »

My new set of re-anodised 7&8 x 15" Fuchs arrived from the US on Friday:

It was almost as cheap to buy them outright already anodised than to get a set re-anodised to the same quality/finish over here... :shock:

These will be going on my black car (which I'm currently converting to RS Touring spec).

I also received the lightweight battery for my 911R-inspired car:

It's an Odyssey PC680 which I am re-locating to the Smuggler's Box - Ive included my passport in the photos to give you an idea of the size of the battery - it only weighs 15 lbs... :wink:

Wow. Andy, a battery with a Passport.
Are you now going to start posting pictures of your battery in exotic locations all over the world (bit like the garden gnomes)? :lol:

Most recent holiday snap from Andy's battery.
Currently sunbathing on the beach (no jokes about feeling run down).

I'm sure we'll see more destinations (once the Photoshop boys get going!).

Post by speedysimon »

Andy - further to a post a long time ago - have you decided on a head lining yet for the 911R ?

Steve - this was the cheapest supplier I found after a quick search:

They didn't stock the brass 'post' terminals Image

so I got them separately from here:

Total price inc shipping & VAT for battery& terminal posts was £91-48

Andy,

Where did you buy the wheels from?
