Please make a single post as to which technical article you are working on. When you are done with it and have submitted it to whomever, please EDIT your original post to indicate that you have finished it.

Please, let's just try to keep this as a thread of who is working on what. No real need for hijacks and http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=5&q=extraneous comments.

The Tech Articles are located:

http://www.914world.com/specs/tech_art.php

You can navigate to this page via the 914 Info link at the upper right corner of the Forums pages and then to the Technical Articles link in the Technical Information table.

There are a lot of good articles in the classics forum that need to be copied and formatted for the Technical Articles section. We need people to do that, as well as create new articles.

Here's a quick template for formatting the pages:

I just did a 914 Limited log repair install, but mine is a little different from most. I gues I could write it up, I took a few pictures. I left the jack posts off my install. So somebody woould have to fill that in.

Toby! Your published. Very nice job by the way. I added a few line breaks and that was about all. Very easy edit on my part.

4-cylinder Alternator Replacement. I just did this today and made it a point to take pictures. It's not a hard job, but a real pain in the neck. I'm hoping my step-by-step can make it easier, especially for folks who have not done the job before.

Can I add my tensioner rebuild article for those with sixes?

How about door assembly? From empty to factory- assembly sequence, adjustments, rust prevention, sound mat....

I just finished the driver's door, and it took about 4 Saturdays. Mainly because I kept taking 2 steps forward and then 1 step back. Apparently, assembly has to be done in the right order! When I do the passenger door, I'm taking the pictures and throught I'd write it up.

I replied to your email just after 8:00 this morning. Which was about 20 minutes +/- after I received it. The email address is also listed in the first post in this thread. I highlighted it for future reference. Send it to: gint@914world.com It's funny how in this day we expect answers to emails in an hour or two. I'm guilty of it myself.

FWIW, During a normal Mon-Fri business day, my priority goes to my job so I can keep buying toys.

Looking forward to his one Rob. We need a shift bushing article for sure.
