10 years waiting - 911L 1968

[Xavier PJB]

Do you have any specs on those widened rims on your car. I love the look. Or does anyone else here on the s reg have a link to possibly this discussion on a previous thread? Mainly, what size widened steelies can the swb car accommodate? Thanks in advance.

These are 5,5x15 do not remember the ET, need to get to my garage.

Last weekend I drove SHE to a classic Porsche cars meeting taking place in ARRAS, North. Weather was nice, 25°C and sunny. Was driving on curvy roads and enjoying the 2.0 S spec, but not for long : a kinda rotten egg smell got into my nose. I knew immediately it would come from the battery. You bet : it was smoking, noisy and bloody hot (faulty battery regulator). Was only 20 km from destination, decide to switch on high beam, fans, not reving the engine too much.
As soon as I could get into the underground car park in Arras, a very obvious gas smell into the cockpit, got the car parked and realized that I lost half of my gas tank in a matter of second (would say 10-15 liters) - a huge puddle of fuel under the car. Immediately I warn the car park guy and got the gas wiped.

Could not attend the meeting. Diagnostic is pretty straight : faulty battery regulator and old perforated fuel hose. Had not the parts to repair in hands.
Found a local mechanic, should get her back home next week.

SHE was just fine, the new installed 2.0S Engine HC is just WOW.
Les Grandes Heures Automobiles, Linas-Montlhéry Race Track. 43 Porsches on track.

Et voilà :

[Xavier PJB]

Oh yes Eric I did enjoy a lot.

The 2.0 is something ! As I stated before, each time I need to "work" something on SHE, I would love to use parts/mods to get as closest as possible to the racing 911L using 901/30 engine

Maybe you can help me on 2 points here :
- what reference/type did the 911L with 901/30 engine did use as clutch/clutch mechanism ?
- What reference/type did the 911L with 901/30 engine did use as shocks ? Koni ?

All the best.

Bravo! Looks great, glad it (she) performed well! Looks like you had a great time.

- what reference/type did the 911L with 901/30 engine did use as clutch/clutch mechanism ?

901.116.014.00 Clutch disc
901.116.003.01 Clutch pressure plate

- What reference/type did the 911L with 901/30 engine did use as shocks ? Koni ?

Yes, adjustable Koni shock absorbers (fitted as standard on the 911S)

[Xavier PJB]

Wow, that was fast !

I started to read (again) the Sport Purpose Manual 1st ed. found mention about the Koni which are S stds, right. Easy to find.
I'll have a look at the clutch stuff too.

901.116.014.00 Clutch disc
901.116.003.01 Clutch pressure plate

Yes, adjustable Koni shock absorbers (fitted as standard on the 911S)

Great !
I'm pleased to know that you were finally able to enjoy SHE on a track.

[Xavier PJB]

Great !
I'm pleased to know that you were finally able to enjoy SHE on a track.

Merci Samuel. But the "déverminage" is on going - Now have the clutch which shows some "wear" while driving hard on track ans shocks are tired. Will take the opportunity to move slowly to the 911L group2 path :-)

[Xavier PJB]

As I need to make some maintenance on the shocks and clutch to SHE, as said I'll move closer to the 68 FIA Grp2 spec.
I know that it will not be, anytime, anywhere, anyhow an official werk ones, but...

According to the "Information Regarding PORSCHE Vehicules Used fo Sports Purpose" First edition, the 911L Group2 should have:

Clutch : It is mentioned of a 911S competition clutch (p.13) instead of a Carrera 6 clutch. The plate is noted 901.116.014.00 which looks like std 65-68 911 one. this is where I start to be confused - it says competition clutch but gives page 61 a std part reference. Any idea of what is the 911S competition clutch ?
For the pressure plate, stated page 61 ref : 901.116.003.01, std one for 911S (is the 911L the same ?)

Shocks are Koni, according to page 40 standard 911S adjustable Konis are the ones to be used. Those are under references: 901.341.067.05 (front) & 901.333.051.12 (rear)

Stabilizer, page 41 should be 16mm for both front and rear alongside with 23mm rear torsion bars. Any clue of the bushing quality to be used with (stock/regular? I mean in 1967/1968)

I'll start to source those parts soon.

Cheers.
