Yes Neil - they are 4 x 2 screwed together. You will have seen in the engine build thread that even more so than a 914, to remove the engine on a Boxster you need to get the body really, really high. Having the front end high, stable and in way the body can pivot around the front axle line is the safest way to do it without a 4 poster

Have you got one of those chargers which has a 'repair pulse' setting? Often does the trick with my batteries if they've had little use for some time

Nothing more dissatisfying than the slow walk back into the house when this happens. Treat yourself to something you don’t need….

We don’t need encouraging for this do we. Man maths makes anything you are buying needed

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Sold something I was never going to use again at the weekend there, so yesterday played 'Design911 stock levels Bingo!' and actually won.

Will hopefully get it cut later this afternoon.
EDIT - Success!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
My old shooting jacket. My Anschutz rifle went years ago, when it was obvious we weren't coming back any time soon. Been doing a fair amount of life laundry these past few weeks.
Made 50€ the week before, putting my old engine mounts up on one of the free platforms here as it seemed a shame to skip them. Still can't quite believe someone bought them, tbh! That'll pay for my Techno Classica tickets if I can be bothered with it this year.
