Is there any one out there that knows of a source anywhere in the world for Euro heater boxes. I have a 64 SC coupe from Europe and I could really use some new heater boxes. I definitely do not want...

Harry Bieker has been doing this since the fifties. He worked on Phil Hill's race cars. I don't think anyone can top him in his knowledge of the older cars. I am 68 and I have been involved in sports...

I goofed! Charles, you are right about the price. Mine were some over $700 a set. Our 912 runs much better on the Solexs. They don't have the flat spot at mid range that the Webers have. I also have...

I had three Porsches, a 356SC, 66 912, and a 74 911S. One had to go, and it was the 911. I prefer the four cylinder models because they are simple and inexpensive to work on, and they are more fun to...

Pelican has good stuff and very good prices. It will be hard, however, to get a 'rebuild kit" as such. Some things are automatic, like gasket sets, bearings, etc. There will be other parts that do or...

That would make sense as the car is titled as a 64 and the case halves are dated 37/64 & 38/64. It also has an electric tach and I don't know when tis started.

The sheet metal on the boxes appears quit solid. It is the pipes inside that I can't see that worry me. I have heard, however, that the pipes are pretty heavy and don't wear out.

European heaters

Is there a source for European heater boxes? What about repairs? Mine appear to be OK from what I can see, but unfortunately, there is a lot that I can't see!
