As @Mattman42 said don’t get the metal ones, these are designed to break when then roof mechanism is under stress. However they also break when the plastic is old and brittle. Also check them arms aren’t bent when reinstalling. Since mine broke last year, I now carry a spare pair of the ball joint cups in the glove compartment just in case. They are only pennies to buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocky Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Just placed a camskill order for a set of Kumho PS71's so technically haven't actually done anything but will be doing very shortly 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect I’ll get the lawnmower out next month and they’ll be underneath, or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 track tyres are on! car looks a little weird with such a low profile tyre on the rear (arch gap is massive) but hey ho. i didnt buy it just to look pretty, its all about how it handles on track. kept the old rear tyres to put back on when i'm done larking around, for three reasons... they're michelin pilot sports, dated 2022, and still have about 6mm of tread. and they're in an unusual porsche size, so cost a fortune new. binned the fronts, as they were 2017 - will buy new ones when required.

I recently fitted the H&R lowered springs with a set of Bilstein B6's. On my 986. Running standard PASM and Triple 8's on my 987. Seems excellent on track.

eob Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Bought 4 new wheel bolts as I've decided to do a locking wheel bolt delete. Also pumped up the flat n/s/f. Checked for nails but I suspect its corrosion on the rim as its the only wheel which is a bit flaky on the barrel. Going to tax it later and maybe get it out of hibernation. MOT booked for next Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need one for the drivers side but the ones for 2005 cars seem hard to come by without going oem and swallowing the associated cost.

Had this over Christmas, parts seem to be getting harder to come by. There are two types for the drivers side door - OEM £355 plus vat - the other much cheaper - mine was obviously the more expensive one!! I needed them for both doors and Cotswold Porsche sourced a second hand pair from Latvia for me as there was nothing available for my 07 at a sensible price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
