I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Well it had been making a noise under deacceleration so I checked for play. Hasn't been off for a few years since the rear drums where rebuilt.hashman wrote:Was it just loose or had you done some work on it Neil?
Rob, yes it's for the hubs and flywheel nut on 356s..
flywheel on 912 also
Karl
Rob it is a tool multiplier for 912/356 but I had to get the holes drilled out to work on the 356 axle

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Spent a few frustrating hours in the garage with a heat gun and scraper cleaning up my super soft slicks after Anglesey (notorious for pick-up).
The problem is they are so soft anyway it leaves you full of doubt as to whether you are damaging the carcass or removing the excess. Anyhow, think I have got there finally
Thankfully I don’t need to do the rears

Wonderful photo!hot66 wrote:
Took the yellow car over to cumbria for lunch . Met with the wife, then a blat back over the tops to pick up my daughter from school. Bit wild on the a66 tops as I was blown across 2 lanes ! But the countryside is stunning at the moment with the autumn leaves still just hanging on. Did a bit of MFI fine tuning, 1/4 turn on air bypass screws on throttle bodies and a click lean on the main rack … afr’s are showing I can probably go another click lean but I need to confirm for sure my thermostat is getting full heat as I’m not convinced it’s fully opening ( I’ve got an rsr style thermostat blanking plate to fit ) .
Did have a ‘shite what have I done this time ‘ moment when a police man strolled over to me at a petrol station … luckily he starts the conversation with ‘ don’t panic, I’m just coming to look at your car … have you been to classic LeMans ? ‘… had a good chat with him for 10mins about LeMans proper and his modified Fiesta ST ..
All in all , a good day

Took my rpm counter out and sent it to JDO to be repaired. It's always under read.
One of the connectors didn't have a wire on it?

Is it the correct part number for the car?

The 356 VDO rev counters were mechanical - ie cable-driven.
I don't think the electric rev counters were introduced until '63/'64 ...

Someone on the registry is saying this might be a 64 gauge and I have an industrial engine. Which I guess doesn't have the mechanical feed to the rpm counterLightweight_911 wrote:.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Went to collect my 3.2's heads today after being machined for twin plugs.
On the way back popped in to Gary's to see the Green Monster in the flesh.
The paint and the panel fits are just out of this world, and
VERY GREEN.
Finish everywhere is a real credit to the work and prep lavished on this car; will be outstanding running to Le Mans in a few months time.

180 mile round trip to Slough Swapmeet in the '12 on Sunday. I was reminded that the heating still needs connecting up... definitely a job for next summer!
