Well,
Working on the 914 again, and was making room for an EMC so, I removed the backpad, and this is what I found. Well, I had seen the panel from the engine compartment, and knew it was there. So, here's the hole:  And the cover, WTF? Farmer bob did this one?  Ok. It works, and I am not the best craftsman, as I have done a couple of, eh, quick-fixes for a problem, which I fixed later. So, put it back? Rather not. Any ideas? -- brett BTW, the PO also put an access panel in for the starter.  This will be used for the remote battery. I will clean up and make something for it. The battery cable is temporarily there... (just made a minor edit. I said timing, when I meant fan! Doh.) |

Many /6 guys cut a hole there so they can set the timing. The cover is a hack but an easy fix.
Starter hole on the other hand is a total hack. |
