Re: LHD 911 RS required

My T was restored by CPR before I bought it. Ex porsche factory guys.
I'm happy with their work, especially the paint.

Sebro Brake Discs

Hi,
My local OPC are out of Front Discs for my 72 car. (usually about 100 quid).
Most retailers also seem to be out of stock of the genuine porsche discs & are recommending a non-Porsche brand (Sebro) for 32quid.

Does anyone have any comments on these Sebro discs?
Cheers,
Chris.

Rear License Plate Panel

Hi
The rear panel (where the number plate sits) gets very hot on my car.
Is this normal or does it sound like I'm missing some sort of heat shield?
Many thanks
Chris

Hi

Would you have the part number for replacement bushes for a 72T (915 box)?

Thanks,
Chris.

I found this on the web - is it the correct part for a 72T (915 box)?
