Mark, nice! Slurpee here you come!
Some work on Trudi before going to Magny-Cours in may.
Put a filter (EB Motorsport in England) on the slide injection. Had to adapt a warming injection system, with the lever to activate. Put deflectors on the RSR exhaust to avoid gaz' scale on the hood.

Car had less than full power when I put it away so I cleaned the carbs thinking it was bad fuel. Didn't seem to help much so I pulled the cap & discovered this......

New cap & rotor with some Wurth contact fluid and she runs quite proper all the way up to 7300. :D

Washed and polished the car. Finally also attached the Early 911S Registry Sticker.
Mark, For now, I can get a Dunkee medium or 12 oz. soda can to fit right between the two thigh bolsters. With the new seats I have in mind, I may opt for your invention here. Nice work.!Quote:

Still working out how I can get the chemicals to 'parkerize' the shaft, but until then polishing will have to do. Also waiting to receive the new rubber protector for the top of the shaft :D

First I stripped the thing to its components, then media blasted some, and polished others, now painted the arm black. I'm keeping the base in its original blue as I don't want to to be overly done. Also, from various boards and discussion groups it seems that early cars could come with either a black or blue base, so I'm sticking with the blue...
A small part in the overall restoration process that should speed up a little now the horrors of winter have passed!
Ok, not today, but this past weekend I drove my car through sun, rain, sleet and snow on some of the best roads in America.
