Bling bling Modified completely a pair of 911 dust shields which are away for powder coating Waiting on Anodised caliper brackets to come back so I can engrave them . Not that anyone will see it but I and the MOT man will
Doesn’t look like much but the centre has been moved by 25mm several cut outs and the bolt holes have been welded and moved ..
Whow, awesome! Would you make a hub that will work with stock calipers to fit 5x130 wheels? MoT over here is stringent. Anything with a bracket to hold a caliper is a fail...
As she is a 76 MY with the late rubber impact bumpers I’ve gone for backdating them to pre 74 chrome ones which are about 25kg lighter .. fog lights are cheap £28 ones vrs £400 real ones .. you also have to cut and trim the lip where the old rubber ones fitted
Wasn’t happy with the firewall new shift rod bush so I bought a £4 spherical bearing and made my own , you can buy these but from US your probably £90 when all said and done
Last few bits of engine bay prep before engine goes in . Stainless fuel lines from the tank in front to rear , a final bit of wiring and I’ll see if the engine and supercharger will fit
Engine in , all wiring done , hot start relay fitted ..registered ..still loads more to do till I’m happy
Different project have hindered progress but she is almost there .. spent a fortune on some wheels and then spent weeks making them usable ..
So the gold anodised 914s will be a press fit in the centre caps . I originally was going to do them in one piece but I wanted the caps to match the wheels ( polished )
Just picked up on this thread. Must congratulate you on some great attention to detail & some proper old school machining skills
I bought them completely polished .. along with 45 years of brake dust and dings .. As originally they would have been anodised with the rim and spokes polished . I decided we needed an Aqua/vapour blaster at work so I worked all the dings out , re polished the spokes , masked them up and Aquablasted to give the Anodised look in the reliefs.. ..I didn’t want them to look new so left a few imperfections… the hardest bit was cleaning the stubborn brake dust of the backs
