Does anyone have a template for cutting an access panel thru the firewall to the engine compartment?
Thx George |

Many people, including Mark, have a lot of experience here. After welding up a firewall in a previous 914, and seeing how structural it is, I decided not to do that cut on both my conversions. Remove intake, and loosen shroud... and you can get the fan out.

Remove intake, and loosen shroud... and you can get the fan out. On my hatch I made a frame out of 16ga. steel, fully welded and then the panel is held in with 14 rivnuts. The frame is heavier than the 22ga. original metal. Also by using a frame I didn't need to source an oversize hatch panel. BTW fan removal or install about 20 minutes, I've had to do it twice now.
