Replaced front discs, pads and bearings last weekend. Just replaced rear discs and pads, only to find it's actually the rear calipers that are knacked. Ordered 2 rebuilt calipers, being sent out to me Monday, fit them Tuesday night, Wednesday at the latest, all ready for Thursday. Simples!

When I was looking for a 993 engine for my Lola there were a few 'under benches' on Impact Bumpers.

993 into an early 911?
Lovely.

Hi Russ,

Hope you get sorted can't believe I only saw it at Chris's Wednesday when he told me he had had no enquiries about it for over a year - he then goes and sells it Thursday the day before you posted !

Whats the chances of that !!

I'll keep looking
