Hi Neil, I had the same issue, As you mention USB only outputs 5 volts therefore there is enough voltage in a 6 volt car. There are a couple of options; The first is to buy a cigatette lighter adapter which modulates the voltage electronically rather than by ratio. I bought a 12 volt multi adapter f...

What size? 180mm or 200mm

I bought a Dansk exhaust too from Design 911 - it fitted pretty well, I only had to use the medium sized hammer to help tease it on

The original Kardex for my UK supplied 356c states 'Mitchelin Tyres' as an optional extra.

Broadway Electrical - fantastic job, Rob really knows his stuff, I think most of the 356 parts suppliers (Roger Bray for example) use them.

They rebuilt my generator, plus 2 starter motors, all excellent. They can also rebuild you wiper motor too which is worth knowing

But going back to your point about 356 spares prices - yes they are often eye watering but I think thats because they aren...

Broadway Electrical did 2 starter motors for me any my dynamo and tested the voltage regulator - great guys, Rob if the guy who did mine, I think he is still there

The gearbox has been dry stored ever since with mounting hoop, drive shafts, backing plates and rear drums. I'm going to split it into the followin...

I'll take it please.

I'll PM you my details now

Thanks

Peter

Many thanks for the pic - makes perfect sense now

thanks

Can I check, are you literally wiring the capacitor across the 2 terminals on the sender? I'd like to fit one on my car but wanted to check - or does it wire in series through on of the sender wires?

Thanks everyone, I did find a thread on 356 register which suggests I'm not alone with the problem, I seems the issue is the position of the 'C' shaped welded brackets in the boot lid, often the right hand set seem to be out - the solution is to remove the grill then carefullpy bend them using a qui...
