Hi

Has anyone bought the 50th year book?

If so is it any good?

Thanks

Hello One of my door locks no longer seems to actually lock the door. I think the tumbler may be worn out? Anyone have any pointers to any "how-to" threads or articles, a quick search found this but its focused on 914. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/mult_lock_rekey/mult_lock_reke...

Progress has been made. Thanks to all those who offered 3rd piece gaskets, and especially to Max at Revival for helping out with the seal installer. Engine is now basically complete and I am finishing the following jobs; Rear calipers - new seals and bust-boots Half axles - new dust boots Adjust han...

Ok things were going well. After waiting an age for oil cooler rubber mounting washers I finally got the thing installed. Then onto the generator stand....in my haste I dropped a washer down the hole, hearing it clatter down into the third piece my heart sank. After cursing myself for 5 mins there w...

Have been caught up in a seemingly endless list of 'well while Im at it' type jobs. The most significant of these has been to underseal the whole area above the transmission. I hate this kind of work for a number of reasons. Firstly there is the awkwardness of working at some obscure angle under the...

I have spent quite some time looking at my compression ratio. Any excuse for a spreadsheet! I decided to stick with just one 0.25mm shim.

Now the satisfying part of bringing things back together..... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7195/6793350736_7c2dc5d866.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7057/6793350636_ee07aa158c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7192/6939462433_5ea0ba3b3e.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7038/6939462349_9fe0703af...

OK here is a review of my Piston and Cylinder set. My reasons for sharing all this info is that in searching for a replacement set that are within a reasonable budget I have come across many, many opinions, threads and anecdotal advice. You can go crazy with all the opinions, so I just took a leap o...

Yes no problem I am planning on posting a detailed review of this piston and cyl set to cover weights, cyl bore and piston diameters as well as dome volume etc.

Well between the children and the dog I couldn't get any space in the living room, so here it all is spread out on the kitchen floor.

I used Hampshire Electroplating, they are in Northam, Southampton (Empress Road I think). Cost was £92 inc the VAT, I had about 20 parts and 3kg in nuts bolts and washers. I must admit I was worried about some of these very small parts getting lost in the process but as far as i can tell everything ...
