I am assuming that your using a gas heater because you no longer have heater boxes on your exhaust ?

Does the gas heater give constant warm air or can you regulate it like a normal heating system? Thanks

Herman

You're right, I have RarlyL8 Headers without heat. The heater can be regulated. It's heating performance is 2500Watt, so enough to not have cold and defrost the windows. I doubt if it's enough for deep winter, especially as my car has no isolation etc... But maybe in a stock car it would be ok. It's a Eberspächer B1LC Compact, watch my thread too:

Thanks for the kind words. There are a few more guys here, beeing at least as nuts as I am!

But maybe I am the only one with the same girlfriend since years

Today I anodized the two parts I made earlier this week on the lathe for the trunk lock

A few gramms less here too






Notice: I left the base plate and the rod stock (besides drilling), as they have to take quite a certain amount of load

[RWebb]

you made those 2 Al pieces on the latch?

Exactly

Some more parts anodized, fuel line banjo and selfmade plug for oil tank (aluminum instead of steel)

In the UK we have a company who get rid of all old paint and rust by immesing the shell in a tank of chemicals and then after repairs will dip the whole shell in a protective primer which will be much better than any body shop could do.

Technical Process for Paint Stripping, Rust and Underseal Removal for Cars and Industry from Surface Processing Limited

I have no relationship with the company but they might get my Austin Healey body when I finish my house building

If you look at one of the first post I made, you can read, that I made a rust treatment similar to this a decade ago, which was one of the reason for the actual situation, very difficult process and easy to make a mistakes. Furhter the KTL primer is very good in principle, but as i'ts a electrical process too, there is a problem with some boxed areas, even if opend by drilling, as there is the effect of Farady cage, which leads to loss of field inside the box. This is very difficult to avoid and only factory do this perfectly as the make series, doubt a shop will do for a single type of car...

After I asked about the need of check valve at front pump here

EFI Fuel system question

I decided to make one out of aluminum, went out very nice. Was a bit time consuming and I screwed up the first nut (cutting thread was not perfectly angeled), second one was fine. I fitted the stock valve inserts (rubber ball, spring and spring seat), so it's an more or less exact copy of the stock one.



As the banjo and hose endings are black, I went without coloring this time

Roland, that is absolutely sweet.

I need one of those end caps as I have just installed a 044 pump in my Carrera 3.0

I wish I had your machine shop

Keep it coming, it is very inspiring.

I do not have a real machine shop, only a small table lathe... but I can use tools at work (construction equipment) Most things I do are made at home...

This cap is available from our host, mine is priceless

look here:

I saw someone drilling his Hargett shifter and I looked at mine and thought:

"Why not"

As it is very massive there is no risk in my eyes to save some weight here too. Here is the result then:





As it is Christmas soon, I made a unique key chain out of aluminum, anodized of course as usual

BTW it represents me, only my GF knows why...

Received some pics from body shop. Could be worse. I bought another 930 body with A-pillar / front crash which is in excellent condition. complete rear section including torsion tube will be replaced by donator body. Front section is about 1cm out of spec, see pic

Go Roland Go!

Love the mad attention to detail!

In the above pic, is that jig for a 911 or 930? The front rack mounts on a 930 are higher than a 911.

Keychain is Sweet...tail should double as a bottle opener?

930 I hope

Yes they are higher, but here you see LH, RH is sitting on the jig...

Whole front is a bit missaligned. But nothing which cannot be solved!

Haven't thought about that... Maybe next time
