Thanks Chaps. Getting excited now the end is in sight. Although as is the way with these projects everytime I cross something off the list I think of another item to add to it :roll:

IIRC I (Mike) didn't start on my engine until May so you've got loads of time

Who did these for you? I need to send mine off, Reap have done work for me in the past which has been great but it would be good to have a comparison on prices.

Congrats on the build and thanks for sharing it, it's incredible.
I also own a 930 myself which I have backdated but with the aim to make it look like a very early G serie, not a long hood. Still I have also entertained the idea of fitting 8&10/15 Campagnolo replica by Group 4 Wheels like you did. Eventually I did not as I was not sure that the 10X15 could fit at the rear. Would you mind sharing which ET you chose? Are you using a spacer to clear the caliper?

To give you a feel for my car, here are a few pics of the finished product:

I had to figure out how to put a nice neat flanged hole in the rear arch, the RSR doesn't have covers for the torsion tubes so these needed to be good.

I came up with a bit of a mashup of a tool but it worked.

Gave a nice neat 5mm return on the hole
Jon,brilliant solution to the problem.
Would you consider either hiring out, or selling this tool?, as I need to alter the torsion bar holes on my car.
