Holy crap! Bored by your story? No, I don't think you'll find anyone here abouts who is anything other than devastated for you. What a stressful time - but there are positives to take away: You weren't in it. By your description of the damage, it is repairable. It's insured, and not your fault. My b...

What are you people doing to them?

Good luck with the search.

It's certainly for the later cars - you're right, it's different at the bottom: My tail shifter has a ball arrangement, but the side shifter has an eliptical shape with a hole through - and that's what I have in the shed. Your friend is welcome to collect - tonight or tomorrow (Friday) evening - or ...

Pretty sure I've got one - if you want it I might not be able to post it out for a couple of weeks, as I've a holiday coming.

Hi, Valve cover gaskets are part no. 021-101-481 and are about a quid each from any VW parts seller. Vacuum advance :?: - Tubing? - anywhere that sells rubber / silicon tubing. - Distributor? - dunno! - I think you might be looking at 2nd hand / rebuilt ones. - Gasket? - don't know what he's referri...

A couple of quotes from MSD technical support, taken from their forum: Especially when used with an MSD box we recommend that the coil be mounted vertically with the tower pointing upward. I wouldn't go any further than the 11 o'clock position. The reason is that the coil is oil-filled with a small ...

Very tempting 8)

I'll certainly come to the start to see you off - if would take an effort of about ten minutes on my part :)

I've registered for an aplication form, and I'm thinking when my car is a car again (not too long now), I'll find out if there are any places left.

Good luck with the search. Ben, negawsklov on here, was breaking a car a while back.
:lol:

Not my toes (not my gearbox, either), and not taken in Chester - pinched from 914world.

Thanks for the tip.

Tail-shifter end-cone casting, PLEASE.

Hi, I find myself needing one of these for my 901 tail shift gearbox in my 914. The picture (modified from one on 914world) shows a side shifter (but shows the correct part of the case casting - the tail cone, complete with the ears that hold the rear mounts), and the red line is where the crack is ...

Congratulations on reaching your 911/912 posts on DDK, David :drunken: Go on - a couple more and you've covered the 914 too. You won't be offended if I post a wanted ad to see if anyone else has a casting, will you? I'm in Chester, by the way, for delivery options. I've just noticed I've just passed...

So would one be able to recreate schoolboy chemistry pyrotechnics by welding magnesium http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_emoticons/default/welder.gif If so I have thought of a good use for the old nose cone 8) Oh, I see what you're doing - bringing your Schadenfreude humour to ease my misery! :lol...
