Hi Mike, thanks for the offer - sent pm.

Thanks Matt, I have a new battery tray (angle steel) and the washer bottle support (hoop that supports bottle) but have virtually a new front end so no real reference points. If you could take some measurements from a known area eg bolt clamping the petrol tank that would be great.

Thanks

Alfie

Sorry, more questions.....
can anybody help with some reference dimensions for the battery tray and washer bottle support on a
1968 911s please?
Any help much appreciated

Thanks for all the replies, I'd love to go the elephant racing route but it's too expensive right now, Doing the amount of restoration to the car that i am I'm keen not to put something on that looks used so it probably leaves me pricing the parts from porsche. Berny, let me know the condition when ...

That's basically what i was thinking of doing regarding the oil cooling. Anyone got any oil lines they are willing to part with, Porsche items are fairly expensive.... A few pics of my progress...

Regarding the oil cooler, when i bought the car a few years ago it had a extra oil cooler mounted in front of the fan, a duck tail spoiler allowed clearance. I'm trying to get the car close to it's original spec with a few period hot rod / motorsport mods. The engine has been enlarged and tuned earl...

Thanks for the replies, I'm based in Cheshire so any local recommendations would be appreciated.
Hopefully my parts should be pretty clean - I've got access to a vapour blaster and the results are looking good so far.

Hi all, the bodywork restoration on my car is nearing completion and nearly ready for paint and i've been dragging my heels getting all of the mechanical parts restored and ready to reunite with the car... I have a few questions that i need to resolve to allow me to push forward and get parts ordere...

Thanks for the replies. My torsion tube has been replaced badly in the past (see pic) I just wanted to make it all correct whilst restoring the car. Is there any way to ID torsion tubes over the eras? My understanding is there are pre'67 tubes, '67,68' tubes and later versions? http://i956.photobuck...

Wow, I'm close to cutting up my 912 shell with those prices! Hoping someone might have a good used one at a reasonable price. I'll keep looking for now.
Cheers

Hi there, as the title suggests, I'm looking for a torsion tube from a 68 911s or from a similar vintage 67/68. I've been offered one from the states but would prefer to buy from uk or Europe.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jamie, I recently had quite a long game of hmrc/ dvla tennis regarding a car imported from the states. To make quite a long and painful story a bit shorter I eventually got directed to the government gateway website. If you're not registered you will need to but after that the Nova application ta...

I've just had a quote from Gerard at Kroon in Holland for a lhd 68s loom.
If you send him an email he'll send you a quote. Make you state RHD
His email is

Seems pretty comprehensive.

Hi Graham, you would have to be pretty unlucky for them to find that. I brought in a 911 with wide arches etc and claimed it was original with no problems. Kingstown shipping can help apply for a binding tarif on your behalf for about £200. you can do it yourself though. You also don't need a bindin...
