Hi,
Have not posted on here in while. Looking for some help please!
Seeing the Eric Clapton documentary I came over all wistful seeing an orange 911. I used to own a tangerine 1972 2.4S. I sold it 20 years ago. I have now tracked the car down and have bought it, 30 years after I first acquired it.
It was an unfinished restoration so I'm now finishing it off but I'm uncertain of some of the details on the car. Is there a good reference source for things like:
- Do UK spec cars have an Oil sticker inside the outside oil flap? What colour is it and where should it be positioned?
- The gold stickers in the engine bay. can anyone tell me what goes where please?
- Did it have a sticker on the inside of the fuel flap?
- Which rubber shield should be inside the fuel flap?
- Should it have the orange Porsche crest, currently it has a red one.
- What should be on the paint code plaque?
- Can I run the car on super unleaded or do I need an additive?
Finally, what's the best source of there bits and pieces? Porsche? Car Bone?
I used to have an American book thatcontained a lot of this information but it's been lost long ago and not having run an early car for a long time I am very rusty on the details.
Really apprciate any advice from the DDK community.
many thanks

Re: Details, details
Can't help you with all the details but since you mentioned an orange early 911 in the Clapton documentary I thought you might be interested in this

72 petrol filler flap. Not rubber but ‘coated’ material. No stickers under the metal flap.
