Conversion Project Oil Tank Installation, Oil Tank Installation Template Options

[earossi]

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?

I just saw your post count. I should explain, McMark is a member and admin here. You could PM him through the site, or, he owns Original Customs, a restoration shop with a banner ad in the rotation at the top of the page.

In the last few pages of my thread, you'll see me use McMark's template method to cut the holes. (if you're a visual learner) go to 'just another damned project thread' and take a look...
