DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi,

Joining the fold with a 68' 912 that I've been driving and maintaining for around 5 years.
I'm not afraid of getting the toolbox out and have done quite a few jobs on the car over the years.

What made me buy a 912 - Duane Spencer's book.

Best time with the car - using as daily driver for a month.

Not-so-Best time with the car - retro-fitting a mechanical fuel pump, dropping a washer into the 3rd piece of the crankcase necessitating it's removal.

Most rewarding DIY upgrade - new rear torsion bar/trailing arm bushings.

Current head-scratchers - Do I keep the Webbers (Engine runs well but rich) or refurbish and fit the split shaft solex carbs I have sitting around? My bilstein Jack has a broken pin and roller - need to fabricate a replacement.

Cheers

James

Welcome to DDK

We all love a pic if you have any of the car

I'm in Gloucestershire with a 356 so nice to see an owner not so far away.

If the Webers are rich take the car to a rolling road that does Webers. In Stroud we have www.spamspeed.com who does all sorts for us from supercharged Bugattis to R-R&B or Hondas, so there must be one near you.

In the long run it'll be easier and cheaper to get the Webers right. I've got a spare pair of Zeniths with manifolds, but need Solexes or Webers for an engine I'm building.

Welcome aboard

Hope you and the car can make it to the 912 meet up at Stanford Hall
