Re: MY 65 TYPE 4 POWERED SUNROOF BUG
Hmmm.... I one day decided to take the drill, with a drillbit (cloth wrapped around it) and some polish paste. Took the grey of the Teledial off and got down to white
Is this right???? Surely not! So, got some progress pics of the polishing steps??

Porsche wheels are usually cast aluminium - shines like a mirror after some heavy polishing

Re: MY 65 TYPE 4 POWERED SUNROOF BUG
No you dont need to use a fuel cell
You can modify the bottom of the tank to a larger diameter hydraulic tube bend that fastens the std way and
SEND THE TANK INN TO GET THE RETURN pipe FITTED ON
It is also not a must to use a surge tank but it is advisable to feed the EFI pump then
