What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

It’s still allowed

I went out for a drive yesterday late afternoon, it was sunny and I was the only car on the road. Perfect driving conditions but eerie.

Thanks to Ian Gunney for coming up with a pair of European-spec indicator housings for the 914 - spent an hour or so yesterday swapping things over and finally got rid of cobbled together modified US-spec unit.s Cheers Ian!

Drained the high octane fuel out of the Lola today for the lawn mower.

About sums-up the motorsport predicament.

MS uk have pulled permits until the end of June now wiping out 4 major events.
Doubting Silverstone Classic will run now.

Love the book shelf brackets!

At the Swap Meet I was asking Winston for his advice on getting my 6v 356 to charge better. He said clean and double clean all the contacts. Plus change the braided exposed metal battery earth wire for a cable as they conduct better. I did and noticed that some of the washers had been waxoyled to cleaned them. I will not be able to do a proper test until the car is running again.

New cable cost £6 off eBay and is rated at 270amps

So this is one of those jobs that never got done, mostly because I was quite happy in my BF Torino buckets. But with more time at home I decided to tackle this in the evening.


It started with a good, if tired, original 1968 Recaro comfort seat. Padding was a little compacted and the cord in the base had been cut and a big piece of foam inserted to allow the elderly, original owner to sit higher



I took it all apart, cleaned the covers, repaired the hessian on the rear of the base cover, added in some new padding where required. Finally I fitted a new cord to tie the base down correctly. Added a head rest that I procured some years ago and voila.

That's the worst "I polished my seat" post ever

Looks fab though. Good job!

Did some wiring and got an email saying that my carbs refurbishment are completed. For the price advertised.

Can't wait to get them back on the car

Drove home from work and called in at workshop to fiddle with the car. Roads were deserted:



Chucked in the freshly powder-coated spare wheel:



Sorted out a bag of tools, odds & ends (spare coil, cdi box, fan belt etc) to carry in the car:



And cast my eye over the high level brake light that Tim is making for me:
