Took out the rag a left in the engine bay. Took for a test drive and it's running nicely now. Add more stickers, from the last trips...

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

Continued to work on the 914 to get it ready for Spain in July. I removed rubber stops that someone had put in the holes where water should flow out of the engine bay. Then I took for a drive as the car had stalled a few times when Mrs B was driving. It almost happened to me. Turned out to be no4 id...

Centre hub caps?

Where can I get 2 of these? Might be happy to take 4 plain ones. They are plastic and I measure at 70.7mm. I guess 71mm https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240601/f0f7c513b3df32f239e6311ea116cae3.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240601/d0d63ad0d0e415a689df2a8716209a3b.jpg Sent from my 22011119U...

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

I put led headlights on the 914. The sockets were in pretty shocking shape. I cleaned them up but they will need replacing at some point. This probably explained why the lights weren't super bright. All much brighter as the led needs less voltage. This is the bulb I put in during the last trip in Fr...

Scissors lift real?

Do think this company is real? https://porail.myshopify.com/products/t ... issor-lift

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

Stopped the turn signal hosting moving in my 356. Initially I thought the bolts were too long so I shortened them but no. I cleaned out the inside and regreased then put some tape on the column. Hosting now solid. Just need to get the horn working now but can't get the pusher off https://uploads.ta...
