    Tuthill has also done that. There is a reference in a magazine article about their race preps.

    Chris Flavell is Chris Seven formerly of this forum who decided to no longer post here for reasons highly topical elsewhere. Knowledgable chap.

    Tuthills father and son are well known for rally prep eg preparation of WRC car shells for Prodrive (David Richards) and have got a track record on historic 911 preparation. Iirc from my visits to Prodrive was once told they were first subcontracted by prodrive to prepare the Rothmans SC RS 911 rally shells. Also Subaru etc

    Afaik no link between two.

    Both are known and respected in the UK although I've not used either personally.

    I found a photo that I took a few years ago, of the SWB tool P 295 in use.

    Cliff, the two common answers are "so-and-so has all those things" or "you don't need that stupid thing".
    Probably a LEINEN 125 vise in the factory photo.
