My 914-6 GT clone is a car that was built using a real 914-6 donor for some parts including the dash from talking to the builder.
He used it for solo PCA events in CA back in the late 90's. The steering wheel lock still functions but not very well. I don't want to get held up in tech for having an operable steering lock. Anybody have advice as to how to go about this? The few articles I've seen on Pelican reference 911's and 914-4 cars and they were a bit fuzzy on the details. |

Pull the switch. And follow the 911 instructions. Remove the plunger, reassemble and put it in the column. Over simplified instructions, I know, but unless I have to do it on my -6 I won't touch it.
Or if you feel like you just need to get it done fast: Old school racer solution - Pull the switch. slap it in a vice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) long arm thingy off, reassemble. Third option replace the switch with something a bit less valuable like a 911 one that has been gutted. You can change the lock wafers to match your current 914 key. |
