DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Black , RHD , not crashed or damaged , full ID attached and stamped, and V5 .. ie no "catches" , virtually rust free (I can only find one small area needing repair work). I bought it to "rob" parts off - not yet removed ... but they will be , but I may as well start the ball roll...

Eddie
I am trying to send you a pm all this week , but can't get them to go (yes , sent box is emptied , and in box is not full !!).
Plan to pick up this Friday afternoon (29th June), can you pm me your mobile number / address , and confirm this can be made to work for you !
cheers

Engine flush .... as in oil ? Just my opinion , but I can't for the life of me make any connection between this and compression / cylinder pressure figures. (I'm sure someone else will have an opinion !) My guess would be engine was at a different temp , or you had the throttle further open , or ?? ...

Mike , will that pump fit into 2 litre cases OK ?

I would not mount to either parcel shelf or bulkhead ... assuming you want them to be of use in an accident ! Best place is on a transverse tube , welded in as part of the cage. This keeps the belt run as short as possible (they do stretch) and you can get them at the right angle too. Not very perio...

Mine (2.4E) has just been started after sitting for 5 years. Took out plugs , turned it over till I had oil pressure showing , plugs in and fired up very quickly and easily .. even with 5 yr old petrol in it ! Brakes were not so quick "sort".

Yip ... about 18 miles at the last count !
Look on the bright side ... I did get my first new inner sill welded on today , which makes a change from cutting out rusty bits

Welcome Francis ... think I'm a bit closer than Scotland !

Sorry , I did not make myself as clear as I could have. Keeping opening 1/4 windows is not important ... in fact I won't , they will be replaced by a piece of glued in (rubber too heavy !) see through plastic ! Sounds like what I need is a set of frames off a later car with fixed 1/4's. I would hate...

I am at the door dismantling stage ... notice that my 66 car has (apart from the opening quarter window) chromed brass "metalwork". It weighs a b.... ton ......... and needless to say I would like something a lot lighter ! Did the later cars have this frame in aluminium and is it interchan...

Any feedback on the completed job ??

Think not , no rally 911 has a board fitted there. (or none of the dozens that I have looked at !)

I must not understand , how can the coupler be left loose (in rotational terms) - it's on fine splines and can only be inserted to the end of the gearchange tube (not twisted when in situ ?) The opposite end of the coupler (gearbox) can only go in one position (tapered screw) ... The only thing that...

Quick teaser , covered before but not in sufficient detail to help me. Gear change was not great ... had all 5 and reverse , but care required when changing. (car is a 73 E by the way) Having got brakes nice and free after 10 yrs of non use , decided gear change was next on my list ...can't be a pro...

A no brainer .... buy a cylinder !
