It does sound like mine !
Rebuild kit should be around 20 or 30 quid ?? , am I out of touch .. I would have guessed a new cylinder is in three figs

Your call

Did I say the wrong thing ??

Think I have one - came out of a 66 911 ( I will replace master cyl with a pedal box , .... if that makes sense) Drop me a pm with an e-mail address , and a sensible offer , and I can send you a photo to make sure it's the right thing (this one is complete with a pressure switch for brake light (I a...

Thanks Mike , part is on order (and I'm just using seal that comes with bearing kit)
I obviously didn't look very closely when I assembled it first time round .... but it was 20 yrs ago !

I am putting my 73 2.4E back on the road after a long lay off. Noticed that two susp assys are different ... slightly ! Question : Should inner (larger) wheel bearing rest against a flat surface on the inside , or against it's rounded shoulder ? On mine , I have both ! On the one which I think is co...

My mind was on exactly this track as well (keep it simple ?)

Did the early cars have these fitted ?
Can't see any on mine (does not mean they should not be there) , but Porsche parts list does not have them for this age of car ??
(I'm talking about the reinforcing bowl , which fits snuggly with rear of outer sill on, for example, a '73 car)

Sorry ,I should have said they are for a carb set up (not injection)

Wanted for rebuild (and modification !) for 2 litre rally engine.
Could collect in UK mainland, when over getting other bits and pieces

That's the driving end , driven side is even more simple .. don't loose the bits !!.
My suggestion would be - take driven end apart (2 mins) and see if motor turns on its own ... go from there.

Have you tried to fix the old one ? Don't know what sort you have , but mine on a 73 E was quite easy to take apart and get going again ! (last week)

At first glance I'm in the same boat !. .... but bearings don't dissappear ?
Is there a "set up" which has no top bearing , and just uses the steering wheel "bush" as an upper location ?? (car is 1966 build)

Err , no - much worse ... botched repairs , mastic instead of weld , I'll try and post some photos soon - it's hard to believe what people call repairs and charge for !!

Agree Nick .... when I see black I immediately ask " what are they trying to hide ??"
And as I'm still finding out on my strip down at the moment ..... plenty !!

A hacksaw is all you need (assuming you have the long - 85mm bolts) - leave the washers, leave the nut .. I was trying to make a point (engine out can be easily avoided) .. will shut up now.
