I finished my sideshift conversion on my 1972 1.7 street/AX 914 almost a month ago, and did about 18 AX runs with it this weekend. What an amazing difference! I did more than merely swap crusty transmissions and linkages, but more on that later. I ask so many questions on other threads, this one is pics and stuff I learned along the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
And thank yous to all who contributed, which is a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And here is a SWEET photo I just found on ground-speed.com, who are awesome and I will probably buy a big print of this one!

Ok - back to the subject at hand. Here's the tin I removed to move the fan housing.
SIMPLE GREEN is non-toxic and biodegradeable. Lots of old T-Shirts and the SG were my cleaning tools of choice. Cardboard catches any cleaning solution(s) to reduce toxic rain run-off off of my driveway, and I try to use the shop vac to clean up all the paint chips and oily/greasy grime+dirt that falls off during the cleaning process. This is the front fan housing tin removed to pull back the fan housing. I ended up using some Quiet Car sound deadening paint on the outside of this piece. It was hard to tell if it made a difference in cabin engine noise, it did make that piece of tin quite a bit heavier! Has anybody tried pulling off the fan housing with the engine in and just this pice of tin removed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached image(s)
