Re: What is the 1970 911T "Dunlop Tires" Option?

Yes, my old hillclimb car, now long retired. I used to have Kumho 205 x 50 x 15 all round and the car the same ride height for the hills, fabulous and hard. For the road today and rough surfaces the tall profile helps smooth things out a lot. The car is lowered, set so the font lower A arms are lev...

Re: What is the 1970 911T "Dunlop Tires" Option?

Like Hillclimber, I"ve got Dunlop Blue Response 195/65/15 on my 911E, fit perfectly. My car was equipped with 185x14s. Tyres are perfect.

69 911E Batteries

Just had my batteries die, and I think the car takes 2 x Bosch S4008 sized batteries.

Went back through my old invoices, previous batteries were purchased in 2007 (trickle charger/conditioner worked well), and are 063 sized.

Thanks
Dom

Re: Fuchs Wheel refurb

Does anyone have experience with reproduction wheels? Anything to look out for or avoid? Seems an Italian repro wheel can be had for a lot less than refurbing a Fuchs wheel.

Re: Headlights

Could be very wrong here, but I think the wire sizes used on these early cars won't take a big hike in current draw, stand to be corrected. I think my bulbs are old Halford upgrades from 20 years aback, 'blue light' for better fog penetration etc, still rubbish, but don't drive it after dusk. My th...

Headlights

Was out last night, car is LHD, with LHD H1 EU lamps.

The low beams have been adjusted to a flat beam, and I'm running them through H4 RHD glass.

Lighting isn't all that good, are there any suggestions as to what I can do to improve forward vision?
