I have signed up for a private parking and viewing area for the Historic's weekend at Laguna Seca. It is at turn ten on the bluff above the pits and has a gate to keep the public away from your car while you enjoy the races. It is limited to 25 cars and they have some passes still available.

What is the best material to use for the insulation behind the underbody heat shields?

One item that often needs replacement on the 250 is the flywheel as there is not much thickness if it needs to be surfaced.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. I have a samples of "new" leather and I am having a spare pair of seats upholstered with it. However the original seats need a couple of patches with some vintage material so that they will blend in a little better. When they are done I intend to use them only for show....

Thanks for all the input! I have taken some pictures to show what is involved. The mirror appears to have a piece of clear glass mounted in front with a spacer at the top. There is cloth tape that appears to have been "doped" after the assembly is put together as it is tight as a drum around the per...

Hi John,
Have you seen an old IOR 2 ton (43ft) Peterson designed yacht in Melbourne named Big Shot? I know it was there in the mid 1980's just wondering if it still is.

I just spent three days driving the Lusso with the new starter. It works great!
Martin was a great guy to deal with and he now has the pattern for the 168 motor. The old starter weighed 23lbs, the new one is 10lbs.

I spoke to Martin, and my starter is on its way to him to have a modern replacement made. I will post a follow up in a couple of weeks once I get a chance to install it and test drive it.
Thanks for all the help.

I appreciate the input on this. Sounds like the modern replacement works better, and is easier to get in and out if service is needed. I will probably go that route.
Thanks1
