  1. Having installed a few, I can confirm it is time consuming to do a tidy job, between installing the various components, fixing the inevitable faults and deterioration of the existing components and linkages, installing the wiring, gassing and testing, I wouldn't commit to doing it in less than 3 days and inevitably it takes longer.
  2. I have had them refinished with a textured satin black powdercoat before, which is about as close to original as we could get.
  3. Tim, What parts are you looking for, I have quite a few IB parts for Sale. Cheers Jon
  4. 6 and 7 are both inside the door. no 7 as small studs which press inot holes in the door skin, this needs to be fitted before the glass goes in. No 6 simply pushes onto the verticle part of the inner door frame. No 10 is the seal on the outside of the sliding glass.
  5. Perhaps but I wouldn't advise it. If you do that and then there is a problem with the engine you are then into the blame game as the garage will have no responsibility for the machined parts that you paid for. Same goes for suppling your own parts, you may think you are saving some money but you are also taking responsibility for any problems with those parts should they arise.
  6. Works both ways though doesn't it. He's shelled out time and money to get your engine this far and there is the risk to him that you fall ill, lose your job, etc and can't pay at the end. I used to charge up front for parts, third party engineering costs in the same month that I encurred the cost and my labour on completion of the job. That way I was only exposed to our time in a worst case scenario. Remember he will likely have multiple customers in the middle of jobs so has to manage his cashflow. Obviously for smaller, quicker jobs it wasn't an issue and the whole job invoiced at the end. In the end it has to come down to a mutual trust that both parties will do the right thing.
  7. I was at the Hooky meet this month, my 1st time there, a great location and selection of cars. But I will be at Bicester on the 8th instead.
  8. I haven't read this from the start so apologies If this has already been covered but when was the fuel pump last replaced, have you tested the fuel pressure. It seems your issues occur when the fuel requirement would be at is highest (High revs, full accelleration and to a lesser extent on cold start when the engine needs extra fuel)
  9. I saw your car there Henry, I was too late for the Porsche parking area. It was busy, some nice machinery there.
  10. Having followed this car on a run the other morning (in a 993) and being a little suprised how hard it was to keep up, the mystery was solved at the breakfast stop when I found out what was hanging in the back. Great to meet you Henry. I've just read through the thread, the car and build is a credit to you.
  11. I don't think W3CC (or WR3CC) are available anymore
  12. They were great seats, it's a shame there are not more of them around.
  13. You might have more luck over on DDK
  14. Regarding the relays, as far as I know the only difference between the red and black relays is that the red ones are designed to take a higher load for an extended period of time. I've only speed read this thread so apologies if I've missed something, but if the car starts easily with a bump start then it suggests to me that the problem is a low voltage or bad earth problem, The starter will draw a lot of current and if you have electrical problems somewhere then the starter takes power away from the ignition and leaves you with a weak spark and no start, yet a bump start will work every time as the ignition etc gets all the available battery power. Have you checked your battery voltage in the mornings? Bad ignition electrics could also give you the stuttering you are experiencing, normally at lower revs under load, (trying to accelerate from lower revs in a higher gear for example, yet when you drop a gear it's fine) Cheers Jon
  15. Only difference is the thickness, perhaps you have SC calipers. Both SC and 3.2 calipers have spacers but the 3.2 version has a thicker spacer.
