Roy,
Is it the square standard wing mirror glass that you need?
I fitted GTS mirrors some time ago but believe that I still have the
originals at home.
Any good?
Best wishes,
John Kennar

Call me a cheapskate, I know, but $50 for a used release bearing sounds so
much better than B#150 + VAT for a new one. If anyone has any other SMALL
LIGHT WEIGHT parts they would like ordered and brought back from the states
let me know immediately!

Hi Luke,
Toyo Proxes T1S are popular with 928 owners because they are available
in the hard-to-find rear S4 size of 245/45-16. They are, however,
suitable, and usually good value, for any 928.

Genuine 928 GTS Cup 1 wheels were:
Front: 7.5"x17" wheel, 225/45-17 tyre, and +65.0 mm offset
Rear: 9"x17" wheel, 255/40-17 tyre, and +55.0 mm offset
If you are sure that they were originally 928 wheels, fine.
If not, you really have to measure the width of the metal wheel
(bead-seat to bead-seat) to determine what width tyre is appropriate
(and legal).
Regardless of the metal wheel width...
The original 1990 928 GT factory rear tyres were 245/45ZR16, which
are 24.68" in diameter. It's unwise to increase that by more than 2%.
The legal limit is usually also around the 2% mark. But, you'll have
to determine that yourself (your tyre supplier should know).
Your 265/40ZR17 tyres are 25.35" in diameter. That's 2.7%
over-size on the original 1990 GT fiting. Your speedo will read
2.7% lower than actual speed. Also, think about what might happen
in the unfortunate event that you had an accident and the car were
inspected for an insurance claim.
I'd investigate 255/40-17 (diam = 25.03", 1.42% over-size for GT).
It's a common tyre size and should be readily available at "fair"
prieces.

Has anyone bought a copy of this book.
I got an advert for it through the post recently.
It is advertised as being written by a former traffic cop and is
supposed to contain lots of useful info regarding how to avoid and/or
get off being done for speeding and other traffic offences.
Just wondering if it's worth the #20 price tag.
George.

Ooops, just bought a complete clutch from Bert Gear. Anyway, I believe his
(new) clutch prices are less than 928Int at the moment. He has some v.
competitive prices on his site at the moment.
Strangely on the other hand for me here in Switzerland, shipping and customs
is usually less from the US than from UK & EU.

Angus you and I must have had a similar bill, albeit I bet mine was bigger!
As for wheels, I watched Paul simply wipe WD40 over the flats and hey
presto, they almost look new. OK for a day out in Hampshire!

That is absolutely barking mad! Why do that to a 928?
