Re: GT Seat questions

I have always fancied a set of GT / speedster seats in my A !!

One thing I have worried about is how low you sit in the car ?

In comparison to the standard seats are you sitting any lower ?

Re: REV counter fix

Re: Any 356 for sale ?

This looks like a good price for a well sorted restored car. Although as said - quite a few of us would prefer something less perfect and useable that we can drive and park with less worry. It will be interesting to see where this ends up. Totally agree - lets get our cars out on the roads where the...

Re: All change at Classic Porsche magazine...

Really sad news to see you moving on I have grown up with many of your edited magazines - most are still in my loft !! Also some of your book projects - so looking forward to your next VW book - maybe an early Porsche book after that ? You know you have a loads of support from us all and we will be ...

Re: Upgraded steering box on my 356A

Thanks

I think it will be worthwhile upgrade.

So far just getting used to it. As the previous steering damper was totally shot
I am getting used to a new one there too !

So far so good !

Upgraded steering box on my 356A

Just finished installing a ZF steering box in the 56
Seems to have improved the handling. More stable and
less wandering.

I think this was well worth the effort.

Re: Wheel bearing removal tool for 356a drum

Neil

Have you checked that the washer is the right way round as it will be shaped on the inside on one side to fit over the end of the spline - it will only work one way

Also it is probably the drum touching the back plate which is making the metal on metal noise
