Thanks Dan I'm thrilled with the end result=) Cheers!

This made me think of the My Mechanics guy that does different types of restorations on his youtube channel. He is often met with such dilemmas which leads him to his famous phrase 'I make new one' where he then shows the process of how he makes all kinds of bolts, screws, rivets on so on. Too bad you don't live next door to him. I think he's in Sweden though. lol.

Your welcome Kaplan.. Im sure there are other methods that can be used but a bubble is always fairly accurate. Cheers!

In 1972 a friend of mine had a 911S in Amsterdam. When I see you working on the fan, I hear the screeching/howling exhaust sound and the blowing fan in the back again. A true symphony. So beautiful that your brain stores everything and sometimes a particle comes up again. Actually twice Fun..... I can't wait to hear that/your sound later on

Thanks Matthew Yes we are driving around now and shaking out all its issues.. so far so good! Cheers!

That fan really came out absolutely perfect Mike! I would have loved to see the tools and process used to get those rivets tight without marring the finish at all, do you know the setup Joe uses? Maybe you can get him to shoot a quick video while he does it, that is something most aircooled owners will face at some point in their cars life. ;)

Thanks Lukas Im thrilled with the result. Perhaps someday I will be able to meet with Joe and have a look at the correct process. Cheers!

Bom dia Mike, gostaria de saber quais produtos você usa para fazer a galvanização das peças, qual o produto que você deixa amarelo. Gostaria de fazer isso aqui no Brasil, porque ninguém faz isso que você faz, espero sua ajuda, obrigado

Hello resgate Thank you, I use the Caswell system for all the electro plating process.. it’s quite a bit of a learning curve getting things going but once understood it’s a fantastic system. Wishing you the best of luck with your restoration work! Cheers!

Mike, looks beautiful. You explained how you thought it was done, how did Joe actually accomplish this?

Hello Fancypants, As for Joes actual process Its a mystery for now. perhaps someday when I visit with him I can talk him into sharing it with us. I'm fairly confident it is done with a press and jig. Cheers!
