914-6 Dipstick and oil filler neck

Hi, I know it's a long shot but does anyone have the correct dipstick for a 914-6 or the filler neck?

Alternatively a 911 dipstick which I could possibly use to modify the dipstick I currently have.
Cheers Jonathan

914-6 Dipstick and oil filler

Hi, I currently have problems with the dipstick on my 916-6 conversion., it doesn't read anything despite the tank and engine having been filled with the correct amount of oil. From what I can tell from investigating, I may have the wrong parts, I believe both the dipstick and the filler tube are fr...

Hi, the headlamp surrounds are white. But have been poorly painted with cellulose which is falling off.

The only spare I have is a steel 5 stud wheel, I presume you may be looking for a 4 stud wheel? In which case you might want to contact Keith via his reply below.
Thanks Jonathan.

Re: 2.4T Engine rebuild advice

Thanks Gary and Mike, Your advice is much appreciated. I am leaning towards sticking with the original barrels and pistons if everything checks out. It doesn't seem to be an option or make sense to just increase the compression ratio without all the other mods required and I'm not sure where I will ...

Weber 30mm Chokes

Hi, I am after a set of 30mm venturies/chokes for my Weber 40IDA3c's. These are not available from Webcon as they only supply new chokes 32mm and bigger, so hoping someone may have a set laying around from when their carbs/engine have been upgraded. Currently my carbs are fitted with 36mm chokes and...
