Had one of those OMG moments last week. Kept seeing threads about dodgy bolts on the motors for Cabrio hoods, so despite having no problems with mine thought i'd better check them.
Of the 3 bolts, holding the transmission on, there was only 1 left, and that wasn' t even connected to the nut
Anyway, after an hour of trying to tighten a nut and bolt that i could only get to one end of, i finally managed to get 2 decent fixings of the 3, so it is now secured in place.
In fairness i did lose most of the skin on 2 knuckles, but hey, it's not real DIY without a bit of blood loss
Thanks to Rennlist again, good advice has saved me a very costly repair.
Also, i think i have managed to swap Saturdays at work, so hopefully can now spend more time at GT One next week.
Anyone know what the weather forecast is for Windsor next Sunday ?

Well done Darren, you saved a disaster there
Can't imagine how we would all run these cars without Rennlist
I'm about to take on your 5 min. challenge to change my bonnet struts today! Will let you know how long it takes me
Looking forward to Windsor too, its bound to be hot & sunny

Good Luck Vic, i followed the instructions i found on Rennlist for the bonnet strut replacement, and the best advice they gave was to use a long piece of wood to lever them in and out, rather than a screwdriver, which can damage the paintwork.

All the 911's will be directed into the same area. Last year Clinchy & the 911UKers had their own area; so that would be a good place to aim for (assuming they do the same this year).
GTOne now looking doubtful for me, as our in-laws have decided to visit for the w/e & I had better be around for at least one day...LOL

We should have the Banner and gazebo up and our own patch of grass you guys are more than welcome as it would be nice to see some fresh faces and talk 964s instead of giving advice on 993s for a change
OH and dont forget the Brooklands Classic Breakfast on the 16th OCT,we number about 40 now ,Vic you post up non 911UK members so I have a rough number before meeting with the museum Friday week

Unfortunately, it's looking like I won't be able to make Windsor which is a real shame. It will be the 3rd year on the trot, I've wanted to go but been unable to
