guten abend miteinander!!!
:thumbsup:now,i started my rcr917.
since this is a replica of a ancient porschelegend of almost 40 years ago,firstofall i had to change the name in 918, so this is a continuation.
i attached a picture of the 3.2literengine and the 915 gearbox with reversed ring and pignon.as i said,it was a thight but easy fit.i ordered 2 bursch headers(490usd) from eckler industries in titusville fl. and they went on easy again.i will fabricate some mufflers now or even put some cherrybombs on for the beginning.
then i went on working on the wheels.
on the 3part backwheels it is enough space to fit a regular airvalve and after finding a supplier for 140 pieces of 1/4x20 bolts(2.25usd each)the fun started.however the frontwheels are a different story:you have to glue two wheelhalves together and to bolt in the center part.on the outer wheelhalf there is not enough space for a regular airvalve.i decided to go with some design valve where you need a extension to fill in air.so i had to drill a hohle in the centerpart and to find the right angle from the beginning was not easy.
i also attached pictures of this.the wheels with tyres on are rcr.
the wheels in the background are real campagnole 917wheels(i will keep those for wintertyres:laugh
:idea:dear fran:i know i have early wheels,but i am shure the next customer will be very gratefully to pay a little extra for complet and assembled wheels.
ok that is it for today,i have to work on the bluemonster,so i can send more storys.petr
