DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I agree with all those - for my feeler guage though I bought the porche tool which has it already set at right-angles

Did my tappets today (on 911) for the first time - used this excellent article on pelican http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_valve_adjust/911_valve_adjust.htm The only thing I can add to the article is that when I started doing them I was trying to look at what I was doing and was trying t...

Got my car back recently (3.2 engine) - it's not been run since 5th September and I got it back just over a week ago. The Garage checked all the levels and off I went. Ran OK for a few days but then started to notice what I thought was a tappet noise - like a drummer hitting the edge of a drum. Got ...

I've had something very similar on my 3.2 - tried lot of things but stupidly it came down to a sticking throttle linkage - bit of lube & it was good as new. I sussed it out by the fact that I could drop the revs by pulling the throttle up instead of down, and also when I did the same sort of thr...

colour was Marine Blue Metallic.

At the risk of being an anorak I think it was Diamond Blue metallic- my own car used to be that colour

I also used Rutherford and found them good to deal with and good bumpers

Mark, thanks a million for those images - I've printed a montage to take down the garage with me tomorrow

Cheers

Yes please - that would be absolutely brilliant - I popped down to the garage today and thankfully they hadn't started putting the light in yet.

I've ordered two proper ones now and they'll fit them when they arrive so a picture would be brilliant thanks

Cheers

Ignore this please - just ordered them from Roger Bray

D'oh! - if I'd just bothered to look on the Roger BRay site they are there. Eejit!

Ordered them now

KS has a couple of nifty little one's on his backside. Thanks for that - I didn't want to put anything on the bumper itself though - I wanted to put something on the underside of the engine lid so it won't be seen. What was on the originals? Have they tried moving slightly the bonnet Pin Thanks for...

I've posted this on the 911 forum as well, but can anyone tell me where to get a rear numberplate light? I need to fit some sort of light - the garage are insisting on putting one in just in case there is any comeback on them, so we're fitting something as a stopgap in the meantime. I want to fit so...

Can anyone tell me where to get a rear numberplate light for an early 911? I'm backdating my '87 911 and this has come up. I want to fit something to the rear underside of the engine cover so that it can't be seen from the outside. What & where was the original fitment? - if anyone has got any p...

The idea of character is growing on me - I'll space those grills out though

Thanks for those replies
