Thanks Kev!

That's great, thanks!

Do you know if that's for one or for a pair... I don't want to order two pairs!

Does anyone know where I can get replacement rear shock-absorber bottom bolts with the ball-joint on the end to fit the 16mm anti-roll bar?



Thanks

I use a cheap Machine mart universal engine stand with the gearbox bellhousing from a VW late bay gearbox bolted to it...works very well http://www.machinemart.co.uk/images/library/product/huge/02/020110455.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/4331546.jpg Means I can fit a starter motor...

sounds like the most likely cause is your discs... it's quite common for discs to get worn unevenly, developing variations in disc thickness (DVT)

AFAIK The only way to check the life left in a friction disc is to remove the pressure plate and have a look to see how much materials is left. Also, don't neglect the release (throw-out) bearing but be warned, release bearings for 914s are expensive!

remember if importing from the states, to budget to change all the lights... correct Euro rear light lenses and front indicator/sidelights can be expensive

A few years ago I tried to use local companies in Leics/Notts to refurb my Fuchs and eventually admitted defeat and gave them to Alan at Canford Classics to finish their refurb.

thinking of IWC, Omega, Longines - wind up models pre 1980

I was planning to do most of the refurb myself as a nice winter project, so really just looking for someone to do the re-anodising (the part I can't do)

I want to get my '72 Fuchs re-anodised as they're looking a little 'tired'...

Does anyone know where can I get them re-anodised? Any suggestions local to Leicester, even better!

Thanks
Ben
