Centre of Gravity Charity Workshop Day - 10th Nov 2012

Post by hot66 »

This one should be a great day out :)


Chris Franklin @ Centre of Gravity has offered to hold a hands on , practical , workshop day on sat 10th November :)

http://www.centergravity.co.uk/

Still fine tuning details, but basically the day will be based around a hands on experience & tuition of re-indexing the torsion bars and the adjustment of suspension heights.. Chris will spend time explaining the details of the early Porsche suspension design , give everyone the opportunity to physically adjust the suspension themselves & will be open for a full Q& A session.

If you want to learn all about your Porsche 911 / 912 suspension this is the day for you :)

Due to workshop size, this day is limited to a maximum of 20 people.

Location is at the Centre of Gravity Workshops , near Leicester

Date is Saturday 10th November 2012

Chris is giving his time free & we are not charging for the day, but it would be appreciated if donations to the DDK Charity could be made on the day . Previous DDK events of this kind have always raised a significant amount for Macmillan :)



If you would like to attend, please post below & I'll add your name to the list.

I'm hoping to find some accommodation for anyone wanting to stay over the night before. If you want accomodation please say so too so I know what size of hotel to talk to.

Additionally , we are looking for anyone who is willing to 'lend' their car to be worked on by the DDK group . Chris will provide the other car ( 2 cars will be used for the day )
