Thought I'd throw up six shots (in three posts) of where, and how, I installed the fuel access panel form a late model (75/76) into the firewall between the front trunk and the fuel tank recess, in my 1970 914.

Awesome. make sure you round off the metal you just cut with a grinder or a file. You don't want to slice a finger or fuel line on a sharp jaggie.

Used a file on the edges right away. May even glues some caps or pieces of plastic tubing over the backs of the screw holes so the protruding sheet metal screws can't touch the fuel lines either.Really shouldn't be a problem, but may just do it to be extra careful.
