Got my first new Porsche yesterday. I know the lack of oily bits divides opinion but gotta say so far I love it. As a daily driver that is. Still need many carbs in my life!

Heat insulating spacers in and carbs balanced. Idling a bit low but I will do a tune up after I add the CDI system.
Anyone know what size thread for the bolt that holds the fan pan in? I'm missing one

It's nothing special - just an M6 thread (ie, 10mm spanner size...).neilbardsley wrote: Anyone know what size thread for the bolt that holds the fan pan in? I'm missing one

Out into the byways of Oxfordshire: although this is the edge of a field convenient for a Jimmy Riddle. Sad to see the car go if anyone wants a 993?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Thank you. New one fitted. I could only get them in 16mm length so I cut it down to about 10mm. I wasn't completely sure that too long but wouldn't interfer with the fan but since the fan fits inside the be pan I think I'm being silly.KS wrote:It's nothing special - just an M6 thread (ie, 10mm spanner size...).neilbardsley wrote: Anyone know what size thread for the bolt that holds the fan pan in?

I didn't have any black paint left so that is a job for another time
