Hi

I see there is a Cars and Coffee event at The Classic Motor Hub at Bibury in the Cotwolds

It is a Porsche only one, free to book on their website - Sunday 17th June - might even be sunny !!

Anyway thought it needed sharing !

This is all great information and confirms my hunch that it would be worth a bit

I just need to find someone doing a refurb in the UK who does not want to pay the extortionate taxes from the States !!

Have a great weekend

So this has just confused me totally !! I had to shell out quite a lot for get the gearbox drive shaft sorted - thanks for your help Ian So selling the steering wheel was meant to help me sort out that cost !! I do like my flat Nardi of the correct size in preference to the original which I find too...

Mine is not is restored / new condition but the same as the following

356A wheel £1740

full horn ring £209

recessed horn button £190

So that is pretty much the same but in used condition !! I do not think mine is worth that level but certainly food for though !!

Hello I am thinking about the value of an original steering wheel from my 356 - it have a horn ring and horn button in the middle. It is in average used condition but working and would be good to bolt straight in or perfect for a restoration. I am wondering what these go for and is there a scale of ...

Hi Roy I think I should have tightened as much as possible by hand and then just used it to torque up - I think I used it too early. I am glad to have got my hands dirty and now know all about the workings and what issues I have to rectify. However on the weekend I took it to Goodwood and when decel...

So I had finally got all the brakes back together and borrowed my mates high torque gadget to tighten up the nuts - however one of the nuts kept turning and it then became evident that the thread had stripped and the drive shaft would need to be replaced ............ So I managed to find a well pric...

I suspect that it will be a rerun of when the horse was phased out and cars took over - we still have horses but only for leisure activities. Although it might be easier to find horse food than fuel ! Was there not a news story on something being teleported into the space station - this might of cou...

Hi sorry for the long time to get back !! I have finally got the drum onto that rear brake - woop woop ! It turns out that someone has added some weld to the back of the solid bar that goes across the top with the large spring - this was not allowing the new shoes to come together enough for the dru...

I see thanks - I wish I knew that when I was trying to undo the axle nuts on my rear brakes !!

You learn something new every day !!

Regards Jeremy

Hi Neil The tool on ebay is for the large nut on the flywheel - you are looking to undo the axle nut - so I do not think that will be suitable ??? Usually a large breaker bar with a suitable 4 foot long tube on the end will be needed to release the axle nut As we know there are more eloquent people ...
