Re: Syncropendence 2017

So, i was 100% sure i checked that none of the breather valves broke when we installed the tank... turns out one has broken. Ordered 2, but its looking less and less likely that we will make it in the syncro. If we bring a load of waffle boards, do you think we will get over the river in a T5? Its n...

Checking CV Joints for wear

Hello!
So, I have some second hand Porsche CVs to go into the syncro but i want to check them for wear...
Does anybody have any pointers of what to look out for?
How much wear is too much wear?
Photos, videos would be lovely...
thanks

Re: T3/T25 Sliding Door Unlocks When Driving

I had to replace the part with the jaws for a good second hand unit as mine had worn too much... There is talk of being able to file them down to make them square again but mine were too far gone (badly treated RHD UK syncro). This is an early one - http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk120/bendy_buc...
