I thought we always assumed we were looking at the engine with the fan facing towards us when discussing left bank & right bank ?
If that's the case, you got it correct Andy

On Saturday/Sunday fitted some gauge light bulbs sold to me by Andy. Much easier to fit then I imagined. Lit bonnet, undo carpet, pulled bulb from the back of the gauge and change for new bulb!
On Sunday took some of the family back to Euston Station. We managed to fit Mrs B, Jasmin, Ellie and Belle (the dog) into the 912. As I walked to pick up the car it was raining and hailing but duriing the drive it was sunny and dry!

Just got back from a round trip of over 18 hours…left 3:00AM this morning, travelled over 860 miles, used over 90 of fuels, took in England, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and finally Germany, met some Porsche royalty who bunked me in to Techno Classica, had a 45 minute scoot around the halls and then headed home!….....all to buy a fuel tank!

Still messing about trying to work out a suitable air filter system for my 904 so, for occasions when I'm running open trumpets, I made up a cheap set of covers :
- total cost was less than £5 ...
Anyone spot my deliberate mistake ?
Cool Andy, can't go wrong with abit of Yellow Pen detail.....bet you were wired after all that Caffeine though

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Just fitted a nice balsa type of 917 gear knob from Chris at Fellane to my 73T big shift lever to compliment the Nardi Wheel, looks a real treat and only £45!
Just the silencer to do now and the car will be 'softened' for the road but can be revised quickly if I want to hillclimb it again.
