Fuel Lines - has anyone actually had a failure?
Northy replied to Northy's topic in Fuel System and Engine Intake Air
@Chris_911 remind me, did you use the Len Cummings lines? @mean in green Simon that sounds scary! I’ve replaced all the engine bay lines already, it’s just at the front I haven’t. Thanks for the pics @jevvy 👍 Sounds like I should change those then. -
Hey guys. I’ve been contemplating changing the fuel lines at the front of the car, specifically tank to pump. Last time I changed the pump it looked fine, but it’s difficult to tell what the insides look like. Has anyone actually had a failure of that line? For those that have changed them, were they cracking and ready to fail? My late father in law had an old Standard 8 and I’ve changed quite a lot of the fuel lines on that because they failed, splitting open. They weren’t even the original lines the were perhaps 10 years old after a rebuild. He also used an ethanol inhibitor. My question is, has anyone actually experienced a failure with factory lines (Dr Rock aside) from Ethanol? And those that have removed them, what condition were they in? Thanks!

Steering Wheel Play after hitting a pothole ....help!
Northy replied to Mobydick's topic in Steering & Suspension
Another option is you can disconnect the U Joint, unclip the circlip and pull the column towards you so you can replace the factory bearing. It’s a little fiddly but very doable in an hour or so. Here is an example: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/704056-steering-shaft-removal-w-o-removing-column.html -
It’s a lovely colour combination 👌

Get well soon Alastair. Just mothball the car and when you are recovered, and it comes back out @Ian Comerford can organise a drive to Scotland and we can all do the N500 in convoy. 👌

Parts Needed For Conversion to Flat Rear Lid & Rear Wiper Disabling
Northy replied to benqv's topic in 3.2 Carrera
I have swapped boot lids loads to times. I 100% agree with Nige. Don’t fit the grill until the boot lid is lined up. You can loosely add the fitting bolts, move the lid around, get the shims right and when you’re happy close the lid and nip up the bolts through the aperture where the grill sits. -
Singers are lovely things aren’t they. But… For proper usable, b-road fun would you have more fun (+less worry) with something like: narrow body (non turbo), high revving 300bhp, <1000kg, short geared, LSD, decent dampers and a simple interior and sports seats.

Hello stranger. I’d take those, if that’s OK? They can gather dust in my garage rather than yours 😂 I’ll DM you about it 👍 -
