DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

That is very nice...Shall I send the coil bracket to the address I have for you from the stamp?

Excellent and a tricky bit of geometry to get right.
Which side does it park on?

Love it!

Finally found a way to connect the Oil cooler to the later Oil tank. I contacted Think Automotive ( thanks Andy2 ), very helpful guys.

I need to cut the elbow off the hose, and then I will have the fitting Swage in place....




It is not compact though

Single wiper setup painted and fitted. There is a small bracket that attaches to the dash to support the bracket, this will be hidden under the dash 'carpet'...



The motor sits on the opposite side to normal, as the linkage did hit against the underside of the dash board when fitted the other way......Tucked up under the dash ( access through speaker hole) would have been abit cleaner, but this solution is ok and there is plenty of room been the motor and the back of the dials.


Sometimes its the simple things that are rewarding. Aluminium mesh cut, bent and shaped to make Oil tank guard, mesh is anodised Gold which matches perfectly to the new and clean Cad plated parts




Cheers

Ooohh, too damn cool

How is the mesh held in place? I've been working on something very similiar and am struggling for a neat effective retaining solution

The wall ? Thats Darren's wall

So after afew months of head scratching I think I have finally solved the problem of attaching the '70 911 Gearbox to the original '68 Stub axles. The rumour was that using 914 parts would be the answer. Andy (Lightweight_911) had kindly supplied me with some 914 Output shafts, and I picked up some 914 C.V's and Driveshafts on Germany Ebay. The 914 Driveshafts are 47,0cm long, the magic number I needed was 41.5cm , so after considering having the 914 shafts shortened ( don't really know how this would be done without he things snapping when in use ) I looked again at the original Driveshafts that came with the car.........41.5cm!!! and these have the same splines as the 914 C.V joint !!! Can it really be that straight forward

So long story short....I believe that this is finally the correct combination:




All the C.V's are currently in a friends Ultrasonic Cleaning Bath, so I can check the condition. HOWEVER, I do need another 901 driveshaft if anyone has one lying around....the other Shaft that was fitted looks like it came from something else.

I believe that this is the original, and what I need:
- 41.5cm Length
- 27.0MM Across Splines
- 33 Splines

I suspect that is the same as a Beetle driveshaft. The length and spline count matches
