No problem Ian, I have rebel racing adaptors on mine also.
-
The 2.5/2.7 front calipers fit 15” Fuchs perfectly with a suitable fitting kit. They are a great upgrade and so far I have not changed the back brakes or used the updated brake master cylinder. You are welcome to try them on my car once I have finished my season at Shelsley Ian. Regards Ian

Whats the chances of finding a decent used 3.2 carrera engine
waddy replied to Darkstar32's topic in 3.2 Carrera
I had an engine that suffered from fairly catastrophic failure due to dropping a valve, but the crank was still salvageable. As Peter says get the engine stripped down before making any assumptions. They are generally very robust engines. From my experience it is possible to thoroughly clean oil pumps and oil coolers along with engine cases which can then be safely reused. There are a few good engine builders out there depending upon where you are located. Good luck with the engine. Ian -

No I don’t, but I had a trawl through adverts and sadly it looks like they have sold it! Sorry.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. This may prove to be fruitless, but a few months ago a standard/ standard 3.2 crank was advertised by AMS Porsche on EBay. Sadly Angus who ran the company died in April, but I see that AMS have been acquired by another independent and it may be worth sending an email to them to see if they still have the crank. Ian It was £1500!

Yes Dave I sold the set for £500 a few years ago, he had them serviced by Leda and they are working perfectly in the Porsche Speed Championship. Regards Ian

Really good price for the work involved, I am sure it will be worth it!

I agree, from my experience the Jenveys have been fantastic and produce plenty of power. I also had a set of AT Power ITBs, but do to a change of plan they were never run by me and therefore cannot comment on performance. Although the carb like ones are more period I don’t think they produce more power and are considerably more expensive.

Very disappointing for you, hopefully Porsche will do the right thing and cover your costs. It sounds like a manufacturing issue. Hope you get it sorted quickly. Ian

Jenveys in my experience are okay even with the old style linkages ones and performance is good. The new ones appear to have less complicated linkages.
-
I have one of the Carpoint ones which are very well made, intended for use with the bench adapter I think. I drilled out holes to fit in engine stand, all the cutouts line up with the engine. I know of several people who have used the EBay one too. Ian
