Re: PCGB - Goodwood 'KG' Event - Aug 17th 2019

Think I'll pop along, if there's a DDK corner/meetup let us know on here?

Re: Porsche 911 67S - engine case repair and rebuild

I expect they are CNC milling it from a block of metal. They have lots of hi tech milling machines but no 3d printers as far as I am aware.

Having been shown round the facility and seen the work they do for all the big names, pretty sure your case...

Re: Con Rod Reconditioning

Hi,
What's the approx cost of this work please?
Also is it not best practice to always replace the bolts with new ones?

Thanks
Tim

7R engine cases

Does anyone have cases that need work and could be bought for a very reasonable price? I have a guy who can laser weld magnesium, which can potentially save cases which were previously considered junk. I'm fishing to see if there something out there easier to repair than the one I have. Thanks Tim S...

Re: trying to contact Redtek

So I had a conversation with him about an engine case repair at the DDK swapmeet. He said to email him, which I have done, but not heard back.

I can't find any phone number on the website, unless I am being totally stupid.

trying to contact Redtek

I've been trying to get hold of Nick Fulljames at Redtek, but their phone number doesn't work.
Anyone got a number for Nick?

Probably not what you are looking for as I don't think it has a hole for a towing eye. The whale tail has got to go as well if anyone wants that! Sent from my iPhone...
