Welcome aboard.  Very nice looking car.  Hope we’ll see you in Carlisle this year.

Hadn’t thought of that being an option on these cars, I’ve managed to try starting in gear only a couple times. Maybe I’ve learned my lesson by now. Been more than 25 years since I had “4 on the floor” until getting my TDr.

Welcome aboard!  Hadn’t heard of anyone doing an electric conversion, of course I haven’t been into these cars a year yet so many new things to me still.

On my way home from purchasing a 911s about 25 years ago, my clutch cable broke.  I learned how to shift without a clutch.  But timing stoplights (so you don’t have to stop) remains the tricky part. 

Thankfully, I don’t have one. If I did, I wouldn’t have gotten home the night my clutch cable broke. 😉

The Miramar Auto Hobby Shop opens at 1200 weekdays but I got in at 1100 Wednesday. The rain soaked carpet dried out nicely so I fixed few things while my back cooperated.  Last year I inadvertently trapped the positive battery lead under the right door jamb and was unable to run the new “plug & play” wiring harness  under the left jamb. I u…[Read more]

Cut that silly bolt on original bracket and had the strut mount welded to the 8″ housing.

Completely forgot about the original center strut.  Did the bracket work on the larger 8″ rear or did you weld brackets onto the housing?

Spike, about $130.00

How much was the cost to rebuild itThanks,Spike

Have the same speedo and the same trouble. Shipped it to NSI in Greensboro N C. They fixed it, just be sure to tell them your tire size

I believe I was the one who mentioned that. But I put the blue tarp over the fabric car cover. It worked fine and now Moneypenny is safe and dry inside a greenhouse. But I agree…trailering a vehicle, any vehicle, under a tarp adds a chance to seriously scratch a paint job.

A dirty fabric cover can do the same.For the first few years of her life, my Duchess lived outside during the driving season. I had an Evolution3 car cover; at the time, probably the best all-weather cover on the market. It got dirty. Nothing you could see, but it magically transformed into sandpaper. Thankfully, no harm to the gel coat at all.…[Read more]

Kall, You “suspect” accurately.  I once stored a TR6 for the winter under a “blue tarp”.  It went through several windstorms etc.  Ruined the paint job. 

That hump is likely just shaped foam rubber and you could pull the upholstery snug on the back board at the top and bottom – but I won’t/can’t guarantee that, since I’ve never even tried to install them. They came with a FiberFab kit, I think.

If you can get to San Diego, CA stop by Kline Bros. VW repair in El Cajon, CA (closer to Lakeside). They have a couple of milk crates full of VW speedo’s and parts for sale CHEAP (along with other crates of other stuff, new engines and tranny and all EMPI  and other parts). Over the years (3) I have found them all to be good guys. Be warned: this…[Read more]

My Seat back.

I have a hump in my seat back. I wonder if these would fit. I would like to have them.

Thank you for the info/link

This guy can likely repair it for you. I had him restore/rebuild the gauges for my planned dashboard.https://m.facebook.com/NorthGeorgiaSpeedometerKentT2016-01-12 09:00:43
