Porsche certainly packed the engine bay! You're a brave fella to be tackling those repairs. Great content, look forward to the next video. 👍

@@andrewhenderson3914 thanks buddy. Its certainly a feat of engineering that they fitted it all in. Next episode is more fun with shiny stuff going back in.

best tip ever ,take your time ,i learned this over the years trying to rush things and breaking things lol

[@vintagesteelgarage]

@@paulmaclachlan6960 yes I think we all go through that learning curve

[@simonroberts9225]

Great advice! take a break, have a brew and try again. love it when new parts arrive, I'm awaiting a set of coffin arms, although I get some funny looks from the War Office when they are all lined up on the dining room table lol

[@vintagesteelgarage]

New parts arriving is always exciting.

Great video..that was tight but good job done..I've been doing my own car for 10yrs and always use original parts new..as I've learned that is best for my car.

In the middle of my Alternator on my 997.1...Regulator bosch £35....That's the Alternator sorted...Deflection pulley (Long bolt on right of Alternator fixing point)...£37 Both items on ebay...

@@mikefranky great when you can do it yourself. Imagine the garage bill!

[@mikefranky]

@vintagesteelgarage .....Watching your video as I'm typing this....I bought my 997 roughly 8 years ago I have a invoice there for Alternator supply/Fit.....£620....😢😢😢 Unbelievable price....Regulator gone on mine Cheapest Bosch online (Ebay)...£35..👍👍👍 I also bought water pipe connection just to the right of the Alternator they made of plastic and are prone to snapping ( Yes I snapped mine 🤦‍♂️)...But online only £7.50 Plus 2 new jubilee clips sorted...👍

[@vintagesteelgarage]

@@mikefranky see the next episode of the rebuild I snapped mine too (I swear I only looked at it!!) upgraded to an aluminium one for £25. Wow. £600 8 years ago. I'm so out of touch with prices. I'd have guessed £500 at today's prices.

[@mikefranky]

​@vintagesteelgarage ...Hi Fella you wouldn't have the link for the aluminium water connection by any chance?...
