  • The Alfa and the Porsche look bloody good next to each other in that garage Jeff, what a pair of classics

    @josephkelly4893@josephkelly48932 ай бұрын

  • You should add reinforcing plates to the sway bar mounts. The factory mounts are simply not up to track use. Wevo (and probably others) make pre-formed mounts that get welded in.

    @arthurquinlan3862@arthurquinlan38622 ай бұрын

    • I second this. It even looks like it would be relatively trivial to weld a plate along the inner edge of the mount to the frame behind it.

  • It looks so cool seeing the alfa and porsche parked in the same garage.

  • Only recently came across this channel, been binge watching when I can. Love the in depth videos of the builds. The Alfa caught my attention, my uncle had one (a GT Junior that is) back in the 80s, they always had special place in my heart since then.

  • Recommend reinforcing the rear sway bar mounts. There are kits available for purchase or make your own. Seems to be a know weak spot.

  • tinting the rear window, do it in strips the same as the front window leading edge but all the way down to the bottom of the rear window, if you have gaps, they really cant be seen and even gaps make it more interesting

  • Good move with the tint. All the growths excised between my brow and my jawbone has been on the right hand (driver’s window) side. In South Australia we have up to 275 sunny days a year, so skin damage is almost a given… I always get UV tinting.

  • That sway bar mount is a typical failure point, especially if stiffer than stock sways are mounted. On our track cars we cut the originals off and install the Wevo (IIRC) mounts, much stronger, but your reinforcement should be fine for stock.

  • Jeff those sway bar mounts Will tear out with any spirited driving. Ask me how I know! Anyone who tracks a 911 will at least weld a plate to box up the mounts on the backside of the mount. Better solution is the solid mounts from Elephant racing or other suppliers. The Tarret adjustable sway bars were my choice and I'm very happy with them. Good luck. Great 911. I have a '77 IROC clone. Cheers from Quebec Canada.

  • Some of the newer cars have this plastic grommet type thing that is stitched into the carpet and the mats have holes in them that clip into the grommets, if the velcro wears off then you could use that in harry

  • Oh yeah, I noticed when I was in the tropics, that even a strong air-conditioning system can be overpowered by the beating sun, making an inside cabin a microwave. It can raise temperatures so fast it's unreal.

  • Failure of the rear swaybar mounts is common on these cars when running stiffer suspension then stock. You need reinforcements, or they will break again. There are plenty ideas and products available to solve this.

  • I always fit a tinted strip (banner) to the top of my windscreen..although fitted to the inside.....it makes a big difference to visibility in sunny conditions. I also have the other windows 80% tinted. Overseas viewers may not understand why it is such a big deal though....😁

  • Hi Jeff, small fact. Tinting is nice anyway but almost all glass including that in normal cars, does not transmit anymore than about 5% of the UV through it. You may feel hot but you can't really get sunburnt, its better than spf 50.

  • 70% tint is awesome, especially for windshields. You can hardly tell it's there but it preserves the dash and interior. I used it on a windshield in one car, with 35 or 45% on all the other windows. And on the 1969 GTV I recently bought, I'm going to go with 70% on *all* windows. Will keep the car cool and the interior protected, but still almost invisible to preserve that vintage look.

  • Good work again Jeff! On the sway bar front you could have reinforcement the left one too. This was not an accident, they tend to not hold a lifetime. It seems Porsche gradually beefed up the bars but kept the same mounts creating a weak spot.

I have watched episodes with Harry and some of 240 Z(Zee in my adopted parlance) but nothing has captivated me as much as your work on the Alfa. Have been watching every Sunday morning for a long, long time. I sweated buckets getting a Panhard rod and a rear tyranny mount centered on my old 124BC (Fiat Coupe)
