Re: Leitz Luggage Rack doesn’t fit

Leitz Luggage Rack doesn’t fit

Hoping someone can help, I have an original Chrome Leitz luggage rack for my 356c. Trouble is, it doesn’t fit! The brackets on the rack do line up perfectly with the mounting brackets that were built into the engine lid but the right hand grill is in the way. The left hand grill seems ok with the fi...

It's supposed to be powered via fuse No.2 which is made live via terminal No. 30 (red wire) on the back of the ignit...

Fit a starter relay, the relay will massively reduce voltage drop. there are a few kits out there.

There is a version out there which wires under the car to the starter m...

Re: 912 case cracked. what to do?

Did you get your case fixed? I have a 912 case for sale. It's a matching case with all 3 pieces but you could always bolt your third piece onto it to kind of keep your engine number (albeit the 3 digit case number will differ - unless by a 999 to 1 shot they also match!!

Re: Porsche 356SC fuel pump

I think there is an 'O' ring on the actuator shaft - I've rebuilt 2 of these last year but I can't recall for sure. This website is very good for general porsche 356 fuel pump info

Hi, Given all the extra red tape created by IVA I thought I'd offer my VW beetle Karmann Cabriolet beetle rolling chassis for sale. It has a log book in my name and is referenced as a convertible - which make it an ideal candidate for forming the basis for a speedster build (as it's already logged a...

Re: What is this? A Horn?

Yep, It's a heater, it uses a small amount of your petrol from your fuel tank. I wouldn't run it unless it's been thoroughly overhauled.
