Aluminum Threshold Plate Restore
I'm not sure why anyone should be concerned about powder coating temperature with aluminum sill plates. 400 degrees F is less than 1/3rd the melting temperature of aluminum. Yes you can powder coat in clear and a chrome look powder.

941 Miles of Living Postcard
tlorber, I'm thinking of doing this in my Z. The Porsche is a bit too unruly for 1000 miles of civilization. Do both the driver and codriver need to register?

Steve Parmley just posted this on his Facebook page. I think it is the coolest BSR pic I have ever seen!

Anyone want new door cores made out of fiberglass for the vinyl kits?
Kacrow, If you're talking about mine thanks, but I use my regular window cranks...

Bryan, I think only Pete from Strictly914. Les has a guy and they are working on integrating the metal top and the panel but I think it might be a ways off. I wont say anymore than that publicly.

Bryan, I think some people are doing custom vinyl upholstery on the fiberglass core. Mine is using Les' vinyl reproduction so it does have the chrome.

Bryan, Not without sacrificing the old door panel. My one good one is, well - good. I didn't want to rip the vinyl off. I did take measurements for the position of the inside door pull and the other holes are pretty simple. You just mount it up and you can see through it to drill the holes where they belong. As you can see, mine does have the chrome strip.

Harmonic Damper problem
Steve, My car isn't 'exclusively' a track car, but the euro dampner has been on there for years and I wind it out pretty good. No problems. That aluminum one is not going to come apart. It's solid.

Harmonic Damper problem
Steve, I have two of the Euro dampners that Datsun sold out of the comp department. I also have some alloy pulley that I think they also sold. I don't really know what they're worth but if you need it, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement... Oh, I have an extra of that comp pulley bolt too...

A sad day.........but
I should have quoted him. I was responding to tlorber's gloat that while you are putting your car away, he is going on drives in the Angeles Crest Highway... "We have a new years day run planned through Angeles Crest. Sorry..."

Single DCOE50mm
You can eliminate the distributor with EDIS or other such crank fired method. I agree with Steve though, biggest problems will be uneven distribution and pooling.

A sad day.........but
This happened two years ago when the 914 guys went up to the Angeles Crest... Oh, and if it wasn't for that rock, this would have made the news. It is a very long ways down.

Adam Carrolla tried to buy it. They were a ways apart as I recall. It could well be sold. What I am saying is that Bruce Canepa or Les Canaday might be interested in the parts from a vintage race car. Bruce might also be able to put you in touch with the new owner.

It is now owned by a restoration shop in Scott's Valley California. I am quite certain they would want the parts. They maintain a warehouse of rare and historic parts. Bruce Canepa is the name of the owner and I think you can just search Canepa Restoration.
