so the floors came out of my '73 2.0 today. i took out the pedal cluster, the gauges in the center console, and the master cylinder came out as well.... now the question is...would it be better to get a 914/6 master cylinder, rebuild mine, or do a big brake up grade - to the 911 calipers and what not.

what did you guys do to make the cockpit a little nicer?
any suggestions?
what would you change about the cockpit?

The 911 19mm master cylinder is a nice up grade. If you have a butt load of money to burn you could do the 911 suspension but it isn't nessesary.

You know this is coming... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) If the center tunnel is open, make sure the clutch tube is firmy attached, if not weld a bracket onto it. Also would be a good time to replace the fuel lines as well. Couldn't hurt to change that pesky shift bushing in the fire wall as well, and the shifter bushings up front.

Got pics?!

I prefer the pedal feel that the 17mm (stock 4 cylinder master cylinder) MC provides. The feel with the 19mm 911/914-6 unit is too stiff IMHO.

This is only one of the threads here on the site about repairing the chassis but it's a very good one.

After seeing that floor rot... I think I'm going to weld in some extra material along the seams of the center tunnel, inside longs and both firewalls. So do you stop and go like the flinstones?

...i get the flinstones thing alot. and i'm going to be completely honest. sick of hearing it. haha.

price wise. he is charging me $65/hr - until its finished. his usual prices are $80 / hr but he knows i am just a college kid. so he was throwing me a bone. hahaha

hope those answer any relative questions. keep 'em coming. i like to answer some envery now and again. seeing as i ask most of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
