IIRC Julian quoted me £175 to supply a 'race' tacho in red fitted and return postage. Still deliberating as I might go for Kermit green rev counter since I am fortunate to have picked up a spare. Heuer clock face is definitely on the cards

So the quick release/ extender has arrived. The quality is nice and doesn't weigh too much. The mechanism/ moving parts seem very robust. The procedure is to push the little pin and slip the red band over it. This allows the ball bearing to move out the way and for the both parts to snap together.

Credit to the parts guru Gary as having as retaining the horn connections and cost is brilliant.


The needle has to be repositioned and thats it from what I have read/ understand

I know - yours looks great also.

In my initial post a post about it you'll see a link to P-Car that outlines how to change faces.

Bingo - think that's it from what I've read.

 

Frank - Is the Sparco snap off to use as well as or instead of the current boss?

 

They're definitely not your usual aftermarket wheels!

In addition.

 

Nice touches Frank

Update - gauge faces are finished and should be sent out today. Very pleased - look forward to seeing them for real.

Cheers,

 

Gauge faces look excellent Frank.

 

This is becoming my favorite thread on the internet.

 

Just noticed that Rennline now do billet aluminium valve covers for the 964 and 993. Love how they can be powder coated but the fins left aluminium.

Matthew at Type 911 also sell a billet cover set.

Check out this simple solution for heal towing - love the function not form frame of mind.

Also I love the red detailing on this interior - around the ignition bezel especially.

 

The gauges look great

 

I had a few brief email conversations with North Hollywood (before deciding on Porschedials.com) and they didn't want to know at all, I'm guessing they've possibly had their wings clipped by TAG Heuer.

Like many of you I've been looking at PlatiDip can spray.

I like it's simplicity. As a stone chip guard it seems an obvious choice on track etc.
Available in clear.

I imagine it works quite well when filming vehicles - as often the chase/ tracking vehicle will spray up stones as the vehicles are close together.

At the same time it's useful because if you're filming a chase sequence followed by beauty shots you can just peel off the PlastiDip and have a clean car underneath in minutes. No washing needed!

I'm gonna do some tests over the summer and report back. Here are some interesting videos discussing the PlastiDip

Cheers mate,

Interesting.

 

Frank - I painted a set of wheels on the wifes shopping car in plastidip just to see what it would look like with black wheel. 2 years later its still on the rims.

Fantastic stuff.

 

Looks like a better option for front end stone chip protection than current methods. Does anyone know what the colour choices are?

I understand Hollywoods reasoning on the TAG issue. Best not say too much about publicly, because as soon as they get wind of it, they will put a stop to it. Best get them done now before that happens.
They great great by the way, and I like the personal touch too. Putting your signature on the car you created.

 

Just ran across this today, a bit pricey per can, but looks worth it. Care to try out and tell the rest of us?
