I believed inside the door has a factory welded screw and just need to drill it if you wanted to add right door side mirror. True, two easy ways. Drill up thru welded nut inside the door with a small drill to mak a pilot hole. Choose a size just smaller than the I’d of the threads. Then drill your clearance hole from a be outside. Second way is to use an ice pick from the inside to make a small center punch mark from the inside. Then centerpunch from the outside and drill the clearance hole till you just reach the nut. Viola! |

Welded up patches in the rear tail panel. Let me say I am going to be a real good grinder by the time I am done with this welding stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I fixed an engine oil leak. Oil pressure switch on top of engine was leaking where center plastic is crimped inside the aluminum body. Took out the old one with a 1 inch deep socket and long needle nose pliers. Put new one in with a smear of thread sealant and a 22mm deep socket. Had to lower it down into place and start the threads using the long reach needle nose pliers. Also investigated the cursed L jet sticky throttle. Seems to need a shim washer now to center the throttle plate in the bore. Also suspect the extra spring causes the shaft to wear in the TB. May get it rebuilt with the ball bearings.

That's what I did on first door. Drill from inside. Key trick is Center punch! The door skin is thinner than the welded plate underneath. If you locate the hole just right,creates a dimple. Hence my pic. |

On Sunday we drove up to Vacaville, CA for a Cars & Coffee and hang out with Dominic, he brought his original signal orange 914-6 and his 550 Spyder replica/tribute.
Afterwards we (my twins and I) headed to his house and then I got to a chance to drive the 550 for about 10 minutes up some twisties and along some nice country back roads. Super fun car. Getting in and out of it sure is a challenge. Thanks again Dominic.  |

For some reason the fuel pipe union at the tank started seeping. I was using an aluminium washer at that point. I bought some copper crush washers but one size was too small for the tank hole, the other size was right for the tank hole but too big for the pipe and would not tighten squarely. Third option was a teflon washer. This has worked but when slipping the rubber fuel hose on i loosened the nut!! After a cool down i got back to it and managed to get an adjustable spanner in to retighten. Fingers crossed it's fine tomorrow.
It's time to get started on the door cards. They were cut roughly for speakers and had been wet in the past which distorted them, the worst being around the speaker holes. I filled the holes with hardboard and fibreglass on the weekend which enabled me to get the foam padding stuck down. Then it rained and i packed up for the night. |

what did I do with the 914 today?........ NOTHING! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
i dropped off my carbs to the local Weber Guru and will await their return with corrected butterfly's, secondary venturi's and a few other slight modification in an attempt to get a reliable idle from warm to hot engine conditions. General interest pictures......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)
