Looks great
But we can't use carbon fiber for the fire rating which is steel or aluminum here in the Nordic countries in all car classes

Well its been a fair while since i've visited the lounge! Since the last post life has been taking priorty over the project, I've moved across the country, got a new job, got married, and bought a house. The whole time the car has stayed as it was. But now I've bought my own place I have a nice dry garage for the car, so! Wings on, car and van loaded up and a trek across the country to bring it to my own garage! Im hoping now its here I can make progress towards getting it back on the road, lots of work ahead but hopefully more posts to come!

I will make it removable for easy access to gearbox/starter etc below Smiley But other wise I would bond/glue it in like they do on modern cars

cheers Richie

Nice attention to detail as always.
Is it possible to get the carpet in curved shape for the wheel wells in the rear apron?
I have similar work planned for my 84...
Best regards

Hey Rob, my 67 is currently in the paint shop as we speak being painted a rather splendid Porsche colour very similar to what you’re describing! I’ll keep the exact shade under my hat for the moment though 😉
Cheers

There are different ways to measure slippage in the clutch
A friend who films the rear tire is the cheapest way Then you paint a triangular line on the tire then you watch the film and see how much the tire is slipping It should be a maximum of one lap then you listen to the sound of the engine The old trick I started using in the 90s before computers came into the picture
Auto meter has a tachometer with memory and a channel for measuring drive shaft speed
If you use Wideband lambda, there are data loggers for them for reasonable money (wideband lambda is a very good tool for adjusting the carburetors and ignition)
The thing with safety and how the thinking is in Europe is a very big difference A battery inside the car is a big NO NO here in the Nordic countries Same with fuel If you bring it up here in Sweden you are banned from racing for a year

No idea on who ported them but it will be a nightmare to get them to seal between ports so I would not use them

cheers Richie

yes, the way they are now are completely unusable, the part between the ports sits lower than the rest, so no way to seal them without welding.
