Getting ready to do a six conversion and would like to have the holes punched out for the oil tank prior to having the car painted. Though I've read that there is a hole template available, I have not been able to find it on this site or by searching the internet.

I understand that dimples for the center of each hole are stamped into all 914's, but have also heard that there may be at least one hole not accounted for with a dimple. And, of course, knowing where the holes go is only part of the story. One needs to know the size of the holes as well. I will be using the OEM tank for this project.

Can someone provide information on where to find the information I am seeking?

There is a stamping for the holes. A raised surface, but I wouldn't say a dimple for the centers. Original Customs has a computer file they print and use each time they do a conversion. You could ask McMark for a copy. Automobile Atlanta has a booklet they sell, which has gotten quite dated that has an insert with a template. The booklet is basically complete but when it was written, there were no 3.2, 3.6 options...

Thanks for the leads. I'll follow up on them.
