I went in here looking for a set of deep 6 and 7r wheels. No luck.

Back from Europe and came home to some goodies.

Here is my oil cooler back from Pacific Oil Cooler. Looks great- they even repaired some denting in the bottom tube.


No more evidence of the melted plastic bits from the mouse nest

Great stuff!! They do good work.

Roger at Sheridan Motorsports has made up and shipped most of my RSR style fiberglass engine tin - shot below. He has a couple more pieces to make up for me, which are the two rear pieces for the MFI tin.
He does nice work.

Very nice. What is the best tool to use to cut out the openings for the intake? Just curious...

myflat6

I am planning on using my dremel tool. I have small cutting wheels for the initial cuts and sanding drums to smooth out and cleanup the cuts/lines

I'll be interested to hear how long it takes to fabricate your fiberglass engine surrounds. Rumor has it that it's about an 8 to 10 hour job. Please share how it goes and it will look awesome when done!

^Roger turns the pieces around quickly. Most of mine were pre-made in his stock, but he only had the rear tins for carborated motors pre-made. My MFI tins are expected to arrive today so it only took him a couple days to turn them around. I agree that it should look cool - some influence of a 911R and RSR motors. Here is an idea of the look I am shooting for - this motor was built by Mark Jung (also a fan of 2.5 MFI motors):

Capital !

My 911S Alloy Calipers are back from PMB and are looking great. They did a superb job restoring them - even matching the original greenish gold chromate finish that the later S calipers ('72-'77) were finished with. They also upgraded the pistons - which are lighter than the originals.

Wow those look great. I have a set of pmb brembo for t strut calipers coming
my subtle hint of not so stock car continues.
Oil cooler is being installed this week

Nice - this advertisement was enclosed in the package from PMB - looks like they are releasing their own monster calipers that are designed to work with 15" wheels. These suckers look huge! I still lean towards the stockish look that comes from the upgraded S/908 tried and true calipers but PMB continues to hit it out of the park with the various caliper options.

Huh - I wonder who is making those calipers for Eric?

myflat6

I recently met Eric. Business seems to be going good for him - it took a few months to get my calipers back and his claim is that they are the only facility in the world doing full resto's on S alloy calipers. Therefore he said he gets calipers from all over the world sent to him. Anyway, good question about the manufacturer - I wouldn't think it would be one of the bigger co's doing this (e.g. Brembo) due to canabolization concerns or simply that they would just distribute themselves - but maybe a smaller shop?
