I've been sorting parts a packing for weeks now.
Wow, you ain't foolin' around are you ...

Do you need some empty (clean) plastic P-nut butter jars for your hardware collection?

LMK

Thanks Mark, but everything that is sorted gets put in baggies and then gose into small boxs that I can handel esay. The baggies conform to what ever space I stuff them into. That is what I'm going to do with my tools. This way I can put all of the steel on the floor of the trailer.

Took Betsy to the PCA autocross and broke her. Got her fixed afterwards. Used duct tape to hold it together long enough to her her home, that shit will fix anything.

Scored a set of never mounted 'late' BRAG club hubs locally, thank goodness so many 914 owners are also parts hoarders! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I added another pair of jack stands, so I can work on the front brakes and wheel bearings.

Drove it over the mountains to see my mother 35 miles away. Also saw two other teeners too! One is a fellow 914World member too! The other person is kinda eccentric. His 1.8 looked good from the distance but it really rough close up. He has three other teeners in various conditions too. With the temps in the 70's, it was great day to drive the twisties.

Yesterday I was an instructor at a PCA AX school at PIR (PDX).
Then had six fun runs with the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
New Falkens worked great. Impressive, 615-K's

Going to AX #1 today. Great course for a 914. Four Chicago boxes with just enough space for me............and those damn Miata's.

Been swamped with other projects... Finally got my CSP bell crank linkage installed. Beats the hell out of the old hexbar linkage - easy to adjust, no slop compared to the old. Thanks Mark for arranging the GB!

Drove Betsy over to where Delilah is stored too see about getting her started since she has been sitting for at least 6 months or more. Took the battery out of her and replaced it with a hot one. Turned the key on and let the fuel pump do its thing. Turned the key the rest of the way and she FIRED RIGHT UP and purred like a kitten. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Nice, Doug. I'm sorry I never bought any of the Byron Original planes before they went under (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Where do you fly?

Hi Mark,

I fly out at El Toro (the not-so-Great Park). Been doing the model thing for 30 years, everything from a 100" Stinson Reliant with a glorified 26-cc weedeater 2-stroke to r/c-converted stick-n-tissue free flight models. The Cub is a Sig kit, and somewhat overpowered...like my 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Went for a drive with Nolan in the /6 from San Jose up highway 9 to Skyline Blvd stopping at Alice's for a break. Then got a call from my wife who was heading over to Santa Cruz with some family friends for dinner. We shot out from Alice's to the coast and down HWY 1 to Santa Cruz. Had dinner at Pleasure pizza then dessert at Marianne's Ice Cream Shop before heading home back over HWY 17. Lots of fun driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Woke the 70 up from its winter nap at my inlaws. Took my father in law for a drive. It sure felt great to be back on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I had to run over to the shop to snag some specialized metric tools this morning so I could take more parts off of Dianne's 1.7L 'moder' (it's here at the house). Removed the cooling fan/pulley and housing, engine mount bar and bracket, alternator, and the remaining tin stuff.

When I removed the fan housing, one of the wave washers was missing, so apparently it's been [at least partially] apart at sometime in the past. Maybe the crank seals and/or oil cooler seals were replaced? ... maybe a total rebuild? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I won't know for sure how far someone's been into it until I get the heads off and take a peek inside (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)


Later that same day, went to my auto shop class with a big box of tin parts. Unfortunately, the shop's parts washer pump failed last week and the new pump hadn't arrived yet, so I blasted the cooling fan/pulley, and some of the tin parts that weren't greasy.

The End (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

That was actually done by the previous owner. They cut the fender in two places, pulled it out, and welded in a strip to make everything smooth again. It's a little wavy, but at least is symmetrical side to side..haha
