Daytona Trim/Paint Question

There's an aluminium strip that runs at the bottom of the rocker panels; about 2" in width. Is that supposed to be body panel color or semi-gloss black?
thanx steve

Re: Daytona Brake Caliper Rebuild

I was able to rebuild mine, so it can't be that hard. I did have to get professional help to get the pistons out of the bore, and it was a few years ago, so I'll probably miss a few things, but i know that you use compressed air to blowout the pistons, gently hone the bores, use the special brake lu...

Re: 330 door mirrors

Just installed a Fosseway clip on mirror on my '64 XKE. Easy, non-destructive design and easy placement; nice period look, fast shipping from England, and great owner communication. So far,so good. s

Re: 330 door mirrors

Never say never! I will admit that I've always thought that these "clip-on" or "clamp-on" mirrors were ugly. However, I find that I may be in need of one or both side mirrors on my (new to me) '64 XKE/ OTS. I raised this conundrum over on the Jaguar-Lovers forum, and a number of people who own Briti...

Re: 330 door mirrors

Well, I cast my vote with those who favor the mirror; both sides if possible. I've been impressed with the number of times that's impossible to get the right side mirror to give a good view, while simultaneously being symmetrical with the driver's mirror when viewed from the front or back, straight ...

Re: wiper motor source

How about O.D.D. parts in California? I know they fix a lot of different kinds of switches not sure about wiper motor, but that would be my first choice. If you need more information about them let me know thanks Steve

Re: Daytona headlight lifters

Oh never you mind! If you own a Daytona, you might want to file this information away and hope you never needed. All years of Porsche 914's appear to use the same motor which is a 914 62411411, which is the left side, I believe. At any rate, they are no longer available new, so you'll end up with a ...

Daytona headlight lifters

The left headlight lifter motor on my Daytona needs rebuilding. Before I do this, does anyone know where I might find a new one? There was some suggestion that this might actually also be a Porsche 914 928 or 924 part. Does anyone know anything about the swap over using a Porsche motor? The part num...

Re: My GTC died on the freeway...argghhhh!

Thanks Tom, I agree with your summary and would add that the mechanical pump works great as long as the conditions are ideal: including a cool ambient temperature, engine bay cool, bowls already full etc. thanx. s

Re: My GTC died on the freeway...argghhhh!

Hi Tom, I do believe the switch WAS the problem tho' no longer so. I would be interested in purchasing the switch, why don't you send an email to my private email? Thanks Steve <gtc8995@gmail.com>

Re: My GTC died on the freeway...argghhhh!

First, let me address the least complex question; accessing the toggle switches from the front of the console. As Ed said, you can't do it. I lucked out when I was able to retrieve the decorative bezel I inadvertently dropped into the shifter chasm. Using a Harbor Freight hook, I fished it out. Bett...
