That's the toughest one yet Matt. :) A heads up.... You will probably pay in the region of 10k for a complete original set up should you happen to find this unicorn.

Dave

I think Darren65 and I may try and build our own ones using Lifeline bottles and some parts AASE have on their website but I don’t know how we will get the T-handles with the S on them etc?

Yes. I presume Armando’s are spot-on accurate?

Thanks stretch.

$6.5k for a complete genuine kit? - I definitely got into this early Porsche lark way too late!…

Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll send glaverbel a PM and see what he says.

I have the ACO’s scrutineering forms (‘Carnet de Pesage’) for GeLo at LM’72 and it confirms that it was fitted with a Heinzmann extinguisher along with lot of other important details.

By the way, did you manage to dig out those Bosch racing spark plugs that you mentioned to me on ESR at all?
