    Anyone know of a good Philly Pcar mechanic?

    Need a new 911 mechanic or shop to install a rebuilt front harness.
    My old shop has changed hands. Could someone recommend one within
    a 25 mile distance of Center City Philadelphia?

    It was called Bob Fox's Germain Car Service and
    since his retirement Eric's German Car Service in Ambler, PA
    Bob had a long history with Porsche and racing and fixed my
    mistake on the cam timing when I rebuilt the engine
    on my 1969 911S.

    I have an appointment with Radbill in West Chester to
    put in a reconditioned gauge harness. Hope it goes
    well last two shops I have tried were less than perfect.

    Just dropped car off. Was further away than expected.
    Very friendly, dropped me at the train station.
    Seems very knowledgeable about sources for early
    911 parts. Mentioned a source I had never heard
    of, ynz yesterdays parts, for harnesses.
