  1. Appreciate that …. My trouble is I'm completed stacked out at work , i have my own long suffering projects ,a project for my old man that i have been dropped with ( steam engine parts FFS ) and a couple of friends projects that i seem to get all the machining and welding to do …..I have access to all the trick stuff but not enough hours in the day ;)

    i could just make spacer rings @ 22 euros posted and retire to Monaco
     
  2. If you stamp Porsche on it then that’s a bargain

  3. Oh, you are a bunch of Nervous Nellies. If you want to pay CSP for a small ring of aluminium, go ahead. I can assure you it's not necessary.

    Just push the 123 in so the drive dogs engage, then tighten the clamp. Obviously, don't knock it in with a hammer. The dissy bowl will sit slightly proud of the case. The few times I've had mine out, there were no signs of wear on the dissy or driveshaft.

    A stock clamp will do nicely, if it's in good shape. Many aren't, as folk tend to overtighten them.

    Got one...please don’t tell me off for it being the +
    Even if the only Vacuum Curve I ever understand is the bendy bit of a hoover, I’m sure someone else can make my engine sound like Led Zeppelin.

    At the very least the immobiliser aspect will be useful - and no, I still haven’t got my engine started again

  9. Ha ha maybe.
    Thing is, apparently, the Kadrons require a different setup from ‘standard’ (whatever that means).

  10. Hard to see what, as the ignition is distinct from the carbs. Vacuum signal?
     
  11. 0 it is then

  12. I going for curve no2 and a new standard clamp and I have put the sledge hammer away....
    I will probably measure my 009 to see how much of the shaft goes in the hole......don't go thinking to hard about that..
    And that will be how far the 123 will be

  13. I genuinely spluttered tea over my desk reading “...have put the sledge hammer away...”

    Are folk changing HT Leads to 123’s suggested Carbon Tension silicone ones?

  14. Lol. Lubricate the shaft and just slide it in (matron) until the dogs engage. Give the rotor a bit of a wiggle to make sure it doesn't move. Sorted!

    <edit> Don’t forget the spring!

  15. I bought a set of the Taylor ones, and I hate them. You can't tell whether the plug cap is actually engaged with the plugs. Seem to work ok, tho'

    Here is the comparison between my spare 205 and the 123.
    I may have not looked for a while but what is this spring you refer to? And the immobiliser?

    The spring is in the distributor drive – look down the hole. The immobiliser is something some versions of the 123 can do, apparently. It stops working on demand I suppose.
     
  18. Be interesting to know how they do the immobiliser. Do they bring out a third cable?
     
  19. The way it works is simple:
    When you park up you take the distributor with you, coz it’s so damn expensive.
    Genius really.

    Or...could be this 3rd cable
