    Personally I'm distracted by the side reflectors on the car - I'd remove those in the name of aesthetics before I'd ask the young lady to vacate the hood.

    Dan:

    Technically speaking, now that the cars exceed 21 years old, there is no need for the side-markers that adorn the flanks of some GTOs. Therefore I have to agree with you when you suggest that the side-markers must go!

    Yes - a rather long search for a new wastegate or diaphram (diaphram had a big hole in it) led to actually sending it to a little guy down the road from the factory to fabricate a new part. Now for reassembly! We have new throw out bearing, clutch and service done in the meantime, so we should be running like a champ soon.

    Dan your new wastegate looks shiny & new! Compared to this old fella I viewed recently...

    Im sure your old unit will be installed in a glass case for future Watkins generations to wax lyrical ad infinitum about?

    This is actually the original unit, it has had the internals remanufactured by an aritsan in Italy - haven't seen the bill yet, but the only actual replacement I was offered was for 15K EUR, which I declined on principle since it was 3x the factory price (mind you the factory didn't have one).

    Wow.

    How long did it take them to re-manufacture in Italy?

    Can you share the source (either publicly or privately)?

    About 3 months all told - I don't actually know who, but will try and find out.
