Spectacular work, this is pure eye candy!

Darren,

Amazing to see once again how deep you are in the details!

Thanks for sharing!

So what colour is it going to be painted then? .....I'm feeling a lot of Sepia love lately so will probably paint it Brown :P Oh come on, Darren - it needs to be a "slap in your face" colour, and I mean in a good way (not sepia poo.. :lol: )! :angel9: @Barry: brilliant work as ever, congr...

Pure Darren & Barry awesomeness, thanks for sharing! I am blown away with each project home many little details turn out be be specific for this and that model. The great thing about it is that it sharpens your eye for those many “concour restorations” out there.... :drunken: :blackeye: :roll: K...

Thanks a lot Darren, another devilish detail clarified!

.....more retail therapy and the reason I've been bitching like a spoilt child about my delayed package which took a month to arrive!..... ....worth the wait?.....I'd say so! 8) .... .....forged alloy RS crossmember.....stronger, lighter and quite different from the standard item.... https://live.s...

Gary Cook called in on Friday to go through parts, make a list of items needed and take away what was needed for plating and powder coating...... .....he then went over the shell and commented on items to check or amend.....30-odd observations later!..... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5025876...

That's interesting Ian, I wasn't aware of the 917 or Yellow Bird link but no doubt used in a number of applications over the years. A common item back in the day but harder to find nowadays.

Although I have no experience with the re-anodizing of door frames, I can recommend this paint stripper: Colour-Ex https://www.amazon.de/Weltneuheit-Wolf-Tech-Lackentferner-Tensid-frei-Gesundheitsfreundlich/dp/B0763TT11P It is alcohol-based, non-hazardous and is really easy to apply (no affiliation,...

Chris: wow, what a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing your wast knowledge here and taking the time to write up the technical considerations that go along with it. :cheers: :) 8) This is all very valuable information to me - some I had heard of but most I did not know.

@ Chris & Sven: Thank you both for sharing, so interesting to hear about your 2.4 to 2.7 conversions. Could you please state which R type (3/5//7R) the engine cases are? I have a 5R 2.4 TV engine case that has had its spigots opened to about the half way between 2.4 and 2.7 spigot measurements i...

Awesome photography, I love the picture series.
Free bump and GLWS!

Hello Archie,

I would like to take the inspection cover for the gear rod coupling. Is shipping to Germany OK for you?
Thank you.

Jan

Hi Garry,

Thank you for shipment. I have to say I am very happy with material you got produced. It feels very robust & valuable and of course looks spectacular. Can't wait to see them on my Recaros.

Best regards
Jan

Hi Joe,

of course. The part number is can be found on the dial face (I think at the bottom), the production date is usually printed onto the plastic cap on the back.

Thanks,
Jan
