Re: "Le Belgique" ST build.

Dave, your helping me with my seat belts prompted me to revisit this awesome build thread. What an amazing job you did. Brings back many memories.

Re: Disc brake conversion problems- SORTED

Don’t know where you got £1500 for the kit from, I paid less than 1k, Just Kampers is selling them for £950, whilst I know this is no small amount it is the same as you would have to pay for a front wing. Doing anything major with a 356 is goings to cost £££ but if you shop around you can generally...

Re: Disc brake conversion problems- SORTED

Is there a way to do 944 brakes and retain the wide five wheels? Honestly, when all said and done, payifor a pro kit is money well spent vs having to figure it all out and self engineer it. As they say “time is money” and like most these days, I don’t have a lot of free time. I don’t have a ton of m...

Re: Disc brake conversion problems- SORTED

Unfortunately anything with Porsche in use is going to cost more, add 356 to the mix and the price goes higher, it’s a fact of life. That said the disc kit is well thought out and a fair amount of engineering goes into the manufacturing, on the other side of the coin, CSP makes a similar kit for be...

Re: Disc brake conversion problems- SORTED

Do you still recommend the CSP kit? Just starting my research. Mine is a 57A.

Re: New Singers Reveiled 911

I saw them at Amelia Island and the Burgundy did look rather dull compared to the Blue. Sorry I don't know how to post pics on this forum. :(

Re: HELP ! Trisll Sports Cars have sold me a vin switch

This is very disappointing. I have contacted them once about a 930. Makes me want to steer very clear. Suggest your post more info here for all to read. Maybe also the Early911sregistry.org

Re: SWB sun visors

If they are like the LWB ones they are available from several vendors and Porsche Classic. If they are the true SWB, which look like the older 356 style, they may be available from one person as a repop. His name is Marek. If you can't find him online I could try to help. Look for him on Early911Sre...

Re: 356 Speedster Flat6 outlaw build

Hi, Latest updates, I have sent some drawings away for some laser cut steel. Cover over the top of the tunnel at the rear with a slot for the handbrake adjustment. Trial fitted the seats and three point inertia reel seat belts. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r580/greg356A/IMG_4072_zpsde909649....

Re: 1968 door frame felt brushes / runners

Jamie, can you comment on the window rubber you ordered for you 68? I went to the Euro site and it only lists 69 forward. No SWB <68. I need window parts for my 66 and no one here in US seems to know.
