[1600 steel gasket]

Had this problem with my 1966 1600/6!  Never used any Sealant at all!  Checked with Club and Canley Classics as from new I was told that no Gasket seal was used!! Just make sure the Head Gasket (208652) is up the correct way as I put it on upside down and I had no compression on No1 Cylinder!  Took it back off, Torqued it down and she start for the first time since 1995!

Thanks Pete!  I think I will drill it as easier than taking the manifold off and cheaper lol!

Hi All!  My (Late) 1600/6 has a manifold 307390 - V3015 with no connection for me to fit a Brake Servo!  There is a Vitesse Manifold on EBay,  308671 - Which has this connection!   Would this model Number fit my engine?

[No compression on No1]

Hi!  I paid £95.00 for a Skim on my Vitesse 1600/6 Head as I found it had Bent a Rod!  This included Rod and Piston Clean with Seating and Collection and delivery 8 Months ago from "Cool Heads"  Bargoed, South Wales!  Excellent Service and a very nice chap!

Hi!  I have been searching for a Porsche 914 which I imported back in the early 80s with a BFPO Number Plate, but have not been able to trace it?  So I sent a message with all the details from the import including the Chassis Number, knowing  that the chap that purchased it from me lived in Leicestershire somewhere, to the Porsche Owners club, but they haven't been able to trace the vehicle!  So assume it went to Spares although it was to good to break??

Hi All!  Thought I would have ago at asking has anyone have a set of front 3 point Static Seatbelts for my 1966 Vitesse 1600/6 Convertible?  I did post this about 1 year ago as they went for restoration/welding and never came back lol!  See Below for pictures:  I have since aquired a good set of Flip up Britex Belts as shown on the top picture but need the set of belts which fit to the B Post and top of side back panel behind the seat?

Has anyone have the bottom set shown on the picture??

He sold up and moved to Spain back in 1999/2000?  I did hear that he was thinking of moving back but not sure?  There is a old Petrol Station /Classic car garage called "2 oaks or Royal Oak" something like that on the Totnes main road fron Newton Abbot, Ipplepen and next to that was a Bungalow he used to live in!
