Help!
I'm in the middle of repairing the longitudinal rust on my 914-6 conversion and I'd like to cut all the required holes for installing a -6 oil tank. I have most of the left rear quarter-panel off and I'd like to cut the holes while I have easy access. I can plainly see where most of the holes should go, but I don't know where to cut the unmarked hole. I could also use some help cutting the required hole in the engine tray sheet metal. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jim |

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jim Are you asked what tools to use? I have used NEW cheapy Harbor Freight hole saws for doors......you can get a whole set for 12.99. As to where to cut, the inside of the bay should have all the impressions pressed in by the factory. It's a trial and fit job....it will be in and out of that fender MANY times. BTW, what are you using for oil lines and fittings? Factory lines? Build yer own? The oil tank if factory has metric thread and either needs to be adpated to AN fittings or you have to use factory lines.... That is, unless you have an aftermarket tank with AN lines....
