Your 380 wheel Darren seems to get better each time I see it, it looks to be in fantastic condition considering its age, do you know if it got much use from its previous owner ......

...sold to the last owner by Edmund Harris and apparently once fitted to a 906 although to me it looks like it's hardly been fitted to anything at all, which is a shame.....it came with a genuine 230 solid hub (not the one in the photo) and an original large crested Porsche horn button....

...too large for the Mongrel I think although it is a lovely wheel....







Cheers,

Car is looking fab Darren. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks John......you and me both!

I'm certainly willing to fit it to my swb to add some patina for you Darren, would be a nice change to the small 330mm wheel I currently have in the car

- in the interests of accuracy, that should be Edmond Harris (Russell Edmonds) ...

Darren, finished the clock mount.

Without the halda here I can't tell if the side adjuster knob will clear after we moved the clock sun shield higher. I think best If I send it in plain alloy so any clearance for that knob can be filed in. You can then give it a quick etch and satin or crinkle black which will look very period. I have made it fit with two simple knurled screws that will need you to install two rivnuts in m6 on the dash panel they'll be out of sight when fitted being on the pad return above the glove box.

Does that make sense ?

Prototype was awesome, can't wait to see the finished article........car is ready and waiting.

All makes perfect sense Andy, really appreciate your help this......it's going to look fantastic!

....had a text today from Gary Cook thanking me for 'letting him' build my car! ......

......I think he's having a ball

I certainly love his enthusiasm and attention to detail........twin oil coolers and plumbing is looking sweet....unconventional.....but I like it!....





....side oil pipes required a tweek.....



Cheers,

I popped in to drop off my wiring loom and a load of other bits the other day and stumbled across the imfamous 'mongrel Street Racer'... wow Darren, looks even better in the flesh!!! Great looking car and attention to detail is amazing!!!
Every steering wheel looks amazing! If you are selling any of them please pm me

Thanks Adam,

You'll enjoy dealing with Gary......straight as they come, excellent communication, never had to query any of his work or prices and quality and detail of his work is second to none.... a good guy

Cheers,

Big thanks to Andy Haas for making the mounting plate for my Twinmaster and Rally-Master set.....

.....the revised design will now sit over the knee pads; with built-in lightness and funky knurled quick release screws, once painted satin black and mounted I think it'll look the DB's

Cheers Andy .....

Like that a lot. Lots of nice features

Mmmm, carpet......featherlight of course!......



....not having anything to generate any heat so might bin the exposed heat tubes and just cap them?
