Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Small blanking plug is M14 x 1.5 , this will replace the banjo bolt that was used for the return. This was from T7 design on ebay who also do really great quality Bowden cables that I got for the heater/vent controls.

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Been a while but up and running again, New ST looks like a nice thing but really seems like a missed opportunity. Not really seeing anything inspired by an original. Center fill, period color or even just options for a period inspired livery would have been nice. So it looks like I’ll have to just s...

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Thanks for that, think I'm going to have a second go with some help to lift in and out. I didn't really appreciate that there was quite a bit of work fitting the trim, think I was expecting it to be a 5 min job. I've removed and refitted the screen in my other car a couple of times but it didn't hav...

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Thanks, Rear screen fitted yesterday morning, really pleased and relieved to get it done . Although I got the screen for a really good price I checked the price of a new one which did put the pressure on somewhat. Tried the front screen this afternoon and managed to smash it within minutes, only cos...

Re: JP Group (danske) Roof lining

Hi There, I've just fitted retro trim one from D911. It was the black none without sunroof. Nothing really to compare with but the fabric is really quite think and its really stretchy, in a good way. Feels and looks great quality fabric. I needed to lay the rods over it and trim down the loops that ...

Re: Meet Ralph - 1970 ST project

Went for black which I'm really happy with but decided try gorilla contact adhesive which is complete arse and even after 5 mins drying time only just sticks.

Porsche 911 T engine Lid letters Price drop to £50 UK postage included

Hi There, Not sure what year these are from as came on a lid that I bought. There is light damage as pictured but all the pins are OK and comes with some fixings. Not sure of value but will start at £80 and see if any interest. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53037120765_09d382e092_c.jpg 2023-07...

Hi There, As shown, don't know much about these but they seem to be really hard plastic material. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53036797045_42389a0bd5_c.jpg 2023-07-10_05-38-50 by richard cannings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53035826482_c6433a8b5b_c.jpg 2023-07-10_05-39-13 ...
