DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks for the replies - mind settled.

Actually being a DDK newbie I'm probably being a tad lazy - i'm sure sure the answer to this and thousand of other questions has been answered previously - will start searching before asking in future but thanks again all the same.

Cheers,
Darren

I've just ordered new door seals from a Porsche Centre and am told these are the same part (number 911 531 095 03) for both sides.

It seems odd that these do not differ for left and right - does anyone have experience of these seals? Is the Porsche rubber the best option?

Cheers,
Darren

Hi Graham, I've gone through your thread and it's certainly been quite a roller coaster ride and it appears great fun along the way. I'm in no position to comment or offer advice although all I can say is that it doesn't seem like much beats you! You mentioned to me recently that DDK is great at pic...

Thanks again,

I do like the idea of keeping the gauge although keen not to spoil my resto in any way with something that's out of place.

I'll post a decent photo when the gauge is back from being refurbished - any other input in the meantime would be most welcome.

Darren

Thanks Mike much appreciated,

Interesting although not conclusive - any ideas regarding the hazard switch bracket? It does appear as though it was made for the job.

Cheers,
Darren

I had planned to remove the VDO ambient temperature gauge in my LHD 911E thinking it non original - fitted in between the light switch and ignition key (sorry poor photo): http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture166.jpg Alan at Canford Classics has looked at all gauges and sug...

Thanks for the replies -

I've just looked again - is it called '911 Performance Handbook' as this is all I can see.

I think I was probably mistaken regarding the title.

Cheers,
Darren

Great thread and very interesting, keep up the good work.

Slowly working my way through all of DDK for tips and advice - was just about to query the part numbers of sills I'm about to buy and hey presto you're pictures of the back date confirm what I'm looking for!

DDK rocks!

All the best,
Darren

Thanks for the replies - Jon - it looks like you have more than enough talent to cope with a little bit of 'bodgery' - love the picture of the green 2002, wonderful cars. Mitch - I'm not sure about it being over and done quickly, I think the money will run out long before then! As long as the end re...

Just a few pictures of the final strip down, this was harder and took longer than expected (as I'm sure you all know!) http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture139.jpg The car had to be stripped this week so it was all hands to the pump: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386...

This IS the place to get practical info. Ask the question in a precise clear way, get several answers and there will be a common denominator answer in the replies. You will see this and then can act on it. I have learnt so much from the people on here, but also back it up with books such as Bruce A...

Barry kindly visited today to offer his expert advice: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture105.jpg He quickly set to work discussing his requirements with Rich in the workshop: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture107.jpg For others though the lon...

A busy couple of days: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture054.jpg Engine and gearbox have now been removed. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Picture062.jpg We all know where the weight is! - a big heavy chair and some straps stopped the car tipping ...

Ah I see! - if I get away with something so minor on what is such a great looking renovation I'll be more than happy

Darren, yours is correct. The pressing was for the 72 only oil tank flap release handle & cable. 72 models had the oil fill in the offside rear wing. For the 73 model this feature was dropped & the oil tank fill was returned back to the engine bay, but the b pillar pressing were continued t...
