have to say i cant get on with his website there is just to much and they aint in sections so to speak
 
I got S/S hoses for the brakes as they were cheeper as a kit for 4 than for four rubber ones on there own.
I got them from Design 911 the best buy of the resto i think. I got the caliper kits from Rodger bray and the discs I skimed

Mark
 
i didnt mean it like that nick[;)]

can u get discs skimmed??

who would do that

learn something new everyday[:D]

went with bootsy today to get his speedster WOW is i can say it is one sweet motor
 
I still have the Ex' s Speedster here got it running again still pops and bangs I will do the valves tomorrow I will glad to see it go and her...

Any way the shocks I got a pair of Koni Adjustables for the rear and monro' s for the front from a mate in the trade the discs I did on a lathe as I used to be a machinest.. Only to true them up and take off the worn edge.

Need to get some rears at some time as they are very close to under size Miggs sit down when you get a price for the rears on the 69.

Mark

Still on date 3 working on no 4 [&o]
 
OK Miggs

Sorry I was a bit abrupt there, the pub has just put on some 5.7% IPA.... Wey-hey..

Discs can be skimmed down to the Porsche spec min thickness, I will check that in the morning.
Dampers: no option but to fit new inserts (front) items (rear)
Caliper kits from various sorces, Mark (911UK) has the tool to get the old pistons out.
 
ok nick [;)]

Right here goes

front discs
rear discs
rear shocks
front shocks
front and rear pads
calliper repair kits
flexi brake pipes

is it worth me buying all this gear from the states and i pay the import tax or just get it from the uk
 
Miggs from that list I would say

Front disc and rear Poss Design 911 or Germany
Rear shocks German and sweedish and the front if not euro car parts
Front and rear pads I got from my local car shack Also the pad pins as well
Caliper repair kits / Pipes Rodger Bray (if you want to have a laugh phone KK then revel in the money you saved [;)])

Mark

my cents worth from what I did[:D]
 
These are prices from Berlyn add VAT

I assume your discs are solid and not ventilated? Solids £45.60 each
Rears discs £40 each
What make of struts are fittrd to the front? Koni or Boge?
rear shocks £96.25 each
front pads £17.60
rear pads about £12 set
calliper repair kits £8.00 & £10
 
Nick I am sure you have looked in to it but if the rear discs are £45 I will have a van full !! what' s there number ??

Mark [:D][:D][:D]

the 69 disc if you are unlucky to have them on your car are £110+ EACH!!!!!!!! they only made them for a couple of years [&:][&:][&:]

My shocks were £40+vat each boge
 
Mark, you are right, Porsche list is £139, Bert sells them (probably not genuine Porsche ) for £40. The rear dampers I quoted are Konis
 
Miggs I have yet to 100% check out the rears for the year.

I am hopeing the car was built 68 and sold 69 if that is the case I have 68 rear discs phew!!!! but if they are 69 [:eek:][:eek:][:eek:]


When I find out what the difference is I will let you know

Mark
 
Nick I know 1 year difference and it' s ££££ ouch... The koni are the best so I have been told but the boge are good so I have been told I have a NOS set of rear adjustable very lucky on them £40 and I know they are new never fitted and the front £40+vat each from G&S and they are boge I will have to fit them soon bounce bounce!!!! at the mo..

Miggs if we both do have 69 disc' s lets see if we can sort out a deal with some one will have to be later as I need to get money togeather for a few things at the mo.(bl*&^Y women )

Mark
 
Miggs Nick is right the disc have a tolarance thickness it is listed in most books you may be way off the mark at the mo. and have nothing to worry about I only skimmed the discs as I had the faclities to do so and they made the brake rebuild as good as new 75% efficency ALL round so very pleased.

Yes I have the tool for the Calipers you will need a porta pack to pump out the calipers Alex as it at the mo .. if you need it give him a call and send him a Jiffy SAE then send it back to me or hang on to it untill AJP.

All the best

Mark
