One last thought is that the cable runs through a steel tube in the LH rear quarter panel. Have you got the snapped cable so you can tell were it is broken? An option would then be to cut into the tube just before it turns to enter the engine bay, find the end of the cable and pull with mole grips. ...

Drop the engine out: then you'll be able to get to the back of the latch :( :( Supposedly this catch is designed to release when the cable is broken so have you tried pushing down hard on the engine cover to try and give the latch some freedom to retract and then pull up? I'm off into the garage in ...

Thanks Bob. Wiggling it sounds much easier than messing around with spacers.

Many thanks for the offer for the tools, I'll take you up on that. Did you strip it to replace synchros, or just to have a look! Hopefully the anticipation of a stripdown is more scary than the reality :) With the bearings I'm interested how you evaluated condition by appearance. Unless the bearing ...

My 2.4 '72 with a 5 speed 915 has always had a loud whine from the gearbox, which is particularly loud in third. Now I've fixed wheel bearings, exhaust and driveshafts this is the loudest noise source in the car. It's very much a whine rather than a bearing rumble and I'm suspecting it's the final d...

Modern Haynes manual version: 1. Disconnect battery 2. Remove gearbox 3. Remove clutch 4. Fit new clutch 5. Refitting is the reverse of removal.... Glad to be of service..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :reindeer: Or have a look at March 2004 911 and Porsche World. They mention in this months 964 to 993 gearb...

From memory I'd say they are around 2mm thick. If you use your old ones as templates consider that they are slightly larger than the original (by about 1mm) around the outer edge, presumably to let the valve cover 'bite' into the silicon. With all the fiddly sections involved I'd just buy some rathe...

Dom,

I've successfully nailed my rocker cover oil leaks with the silicon gaskets. I got mine from Pelican:

Certainly worth trying before investing in machining or new covers.

Brave pill has been taken so went for tapping the carb bodies to except some 'plugs'..... :shock: Cut and shut M8 cap head in the flow adjuster hole and some M5 screws in the cylinder feed pipes. Flow adjuster hole took an M8 tap perfectly, the feed pipes had to be drilled out, they were just slight...

Sounds like the way forward, particularly as it means I don't have to try finding a solenoid :) At least I've discovered what that random wire in the valley plate does! (or rather doesn't...) Did you just plug the cylinder feed pipes then wind the flow rate and mixture adjusting adjusting screws all...

Does anyone have experience of removing the overrun enrichment circuit on the Zenith 40TINS? Good/bad? More overrun popping due to lean mixture? My solenoid is missing (and supposedly difficult to get hold of).... and I'm not too fussed about hydrocarbons on overrun. Adding more fuel/air to reduce e...

Luke have you seen this?

You'd need to fit a pressure sender to the engine rather than just a low pressure switch, but I believe the wiring is the same. With a sender you get a precise change in resistance and hence it can drive the meter, the light just runs off the low pressure switch which is on/off. I used to run just a...

I think everyone was just too scared to comment, the sight of major corrosion has a profound effect on us early 911 owners....

We tend to go a bit quiet when we realise that this could be our car by the next MOT....

Good luck. Major challenge, but looking good so far.

Send Thomas an email to check delivery: Thomas.Hanna@t-online.de Mine turned up within a week, depends on his stock levels I guess. I think payment on delivery was only for local orders rather than overseas, but give it a go! I had to arrange a bank transfer which cost £25 as the recipient was overs...
