Hey, could you back up a bit and show where you are putting the fuel pump?
I can't make out the location.....

Rich



Thanks Guy's,

pump is just below the pass. side headlight bucket.

Jeff Hines answered the mystery wire issue. I don't want a visit from Mr. Sparky or his pal Smoke

Got it.

Based upon experience, I would strongly suggest you either don't put fuel lines and pump in the front trunk, or build a cover for everything.

Once you start using the car, the front trunk is key to be able to stuff full.....and things rolling around and bumping into the fuel system is just not cool.

Just putting that on the table for you to consider.

Thanks Rich, Always good to think this stuff threw and I welcome other options that don't require cutting or having it somewhere hard to service.

Hmm, no cutting....

Underneath the tank, under the car, just above the steering rack.
Cover plate would protect it.

Similar to a 911.

Or
At the rear, mounted to the firewall, passenger side.

This gets my vote. Under the tank is a PITA as hoses get kinked and pinched. Behind the steering rack is the perfect location - short, direct hose runs and easy to get to.

Love this thread - keep up the awesome work, Andy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

two more bolts remain.

More progress, taking a dinner break and then back in the front trunk and the flapper boxes and cables.

This weekend and tonight was the final wrap on the dreaded front trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think the flapper box cables are in right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I also modified the late dash pad very carefully for the early dash/glove box area . I was able to shave away the foam underneath and the heat and glue the vinyl down into a nice radius to match the other side

This car should go to Pebble Beach! Except it wouldn't win because it's in far better condition than Porsche built it. Amazing. Re-badge it as "Andy 914"

Thanks, Your picture is a better reference than what I used along with a grill I have with the lettering still on it. I just went out to the garage and checked and its good.
