Hi Wally, good to see you back on it!

I'd have to see the vent design but it looks like you have the disc on the wrong way around or the wrong side (the bell is obviously correct)...

Richard,
You are absolutely correct! I used to think this was more logical, but factory indeed mounted them the other way round.

Did you have them all mounted backwards?

The logic is that air flows radially out through the disc, so in by the hub and out by the wheel rim, having them the other way around effectively tries to oppose the normal airflow by scooping it back in resulting in poor cooling..

How's the new engine coming along?

The above pic is from the front left wheel, so that should be mounted correctly?

The engine building is holded till funds allow further progress...

Yes, I saw the front left was correct, just wondered whether you had mounted them all as the rear were..

Look forward to more progress

Alex, the Koni's are 944 parts, so they have those length, I haven't measured that. I ran Koni yellow 944 shocks before.

Work has started already!


Very high quality guides ^^



Valve size will be 48x41 and that in just a 98mm bore...

Nice! Jacob does good machine work! I like how Thorsten did the rockerbox ventilation.
