Re: '67 Square continued.....
New electric fuel pump mounted on the beam, just needs the wiring terminated. https://i.postimg.cc/MZLDNmgk/IMG-3158.jpg There was a clearance issue with the spare wheel well, but a couple of adjustments with a rubber mallet cured that. https://i.postimg.cc/k57FK1RS/IMG-3159.jpg https://i.postimg.cc...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
New 8mm copper fuel hardline from under the tank to the engine compartment. Had to reroute the pipe over the rear seat mount and out through the bulkhead next to the heater inlet. https://i.postimg.cc/Px34tWxw/IMG-3061.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PJCMNCpF/IMG-3060.jpg I'm using teflon/ptfe fuel hose wi...

Re: Fastback Standard Tyres
The original tyres would have been 6.00/15 bias ply (cross ply), the modern equivalent is 165/80/15.
Your 165SR15 is 165/82/15, so you're running the closest size.
You can still buy Michelin XZX in 165SR15.

Re: 71 Fast Back Recommissioning
My brakes took hours of bleeding to get a decent pedal, they're perfect now.

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Managed to snap the metal fuel hard line where it goes into the front of the tunnel, it must have been weakened and I'd rather it break now in the lock up with no petrol around than somewhere miles away from home with a full tank. So now the plan is to replace it with a new 8mm hard line that follow...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Back at the lockup today, ready to fit the newly cleaned and painted thermostat, bracket and flap linkage. https://i.postimg.cc/B6DPSHzK/IMG-2845.jpg Hmm, that doesn't look right. https://i.postimg.cc/QChCjP52/IMG-2856.jpg The rod won't go through the smaller of the holes in the head. https://i.post...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
When I changed the fuel pipes in the Type 3 engine bay I thought I would undertake an experiment to see if there was any "real world" difference between Cohline ethanol proof hose and a premium ethanol resistant hose. I used a tee piece and the fuel hose (blue text) to the left hand carb was ethanol...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Slightly more progress on the square now I'm COVID free and out of self-isolation. Took a drive in the bus the long way round to the lockup. https://i.postimg.cc/pXGqVQLn/IMG-2781.jpg I've come to a temporary halt on the engine while I await the delivery of some parts, so I thought I'd tackle the ne...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Progress on any vehicle has been slow lately, so I'd thought I'd make a start on the new engine. https://i.postimg.cc/qvz89Y7f/IMG-2750.jpg The first thing I do need is a good condition oil cooler though, or I may end up fitting a new Type 1 cooler and a remote oil pressure sender. Checked and strip...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Very similar, 1971 911 Carrera seats. Picked them up from a Porsche garage just North of Stamford for the princely sum of 100 English Pounds.
Everything else in the back of the deluxe bus is for the type 3.

As I was picking the squareback's new engine up from Suffolk yesterday, I had a socially distant parts run around Central England collecting a host of other goodies. https://i.postimg.cc/NjMQLpY2/IMG-1842.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cH3CDT55/IMG-1855.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wBfjxZnr/IMG-1850.jpg https...

VolksWorld won't take place because the UK events ban finishes in April.

Perfect chance to remove all the previous front loom and rewire with a new electric fuel pump and relay. https://i.postimg.cc/8PtJYsgb/IMG-1807.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/QdzBXPt9/IMG-1803.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/N0rKL49N/IMG-1804.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rws02c82/IMG-1805.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Hs...

Re: '67 Square continued.....
Very nice! Thanks. I've been having a few electrical issues for quite a while now, battery going flat, gauges flickering and random lights working for example. So today I thought I'd make a start at the nearside rear light unit as the tail light was out. OK, dead short to earth on the rear tail lig...
