Replaced a CV gasket
At which time several of the balls fell out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So took the whole stinkin CV apart Cleaned and re-assembled Then replaced the circlip on the shaft. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Which reminded me how much I despise CV's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ------------ Then installed several of Erics brake lines. Here's my process for doing it. Hold the lines up to the MC Say to myself "there is no way these lines will fit" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Then think "Eric you sent me the wrong lines" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Mess around a little more until my old brain figures it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Then finish off thinking "what a great product Eric sells, no way in hell I would want to spend time bending these things !"

Drove mine for about 45min just running around town. Good to get it out of the garage. Front drivers side tire has a slow leak. Which left me with a flat tire when I went to go. Pumped it up & drove it but will need to take it to the tire shop to see why the slow leak.

Wow, nice looking drive trains (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
914 stuff: New Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires mounted and balanced on a set of powder-coated EMPIs. These are going on my wife's car (until I get her stock 'steeles' powder-coated) ... then they'll probably go on the 'BB' until my other (better) set of ATS Classics get refurbished (Al Reed ? ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  Received new brake hoses from Bob 'bulitt' for her car (have almost everything for her restoration now), a German loop (tan) carpet set (for the 'BB') from Mark 'Mikey', and Mike Bellis sent me a bunch of those nifty split rivets, so hopefully they'll do the trick of holding the FG rockers on the 'BB' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) '67 Bug stuff: Checked crank end play: .120" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... uh, no wonder why the RMS was leaking. Picked up an assortment of shims, a new o-ring and a RMS to correct that issue.  The PO literally threw this motor together and failed to install a lot of the required cooling tins too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... Located and hot-tanked the needed tins and painted some of the visible stuff. The MC reservoir was leaking where the lines connected - fixed that and readjusted the front bumper (while I was down there). It was pretty crooked.  Scrubbed and painted the wheels and threw the bling accessories back on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)  Other stuff: Blasted and primed some rusty Honda Mini Trail wheels (we're also building up a few basket-case bikes that have been sitting around for the past 10 years).  Way too many irons in the fire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Got firewall mods ready for tack welding. I'm widening the deep section to fit the SHO intake surge tank.

914's are kewl Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California |
1. Installed new spark plugs (had done new coil and Clewett wires a few weeks back).
2. Installed 9.5mm to 8mm SS adapter fuel line and installed new fuel lines from firewall to the SS lines that go up through engine bay (both supply and return). PO had re-used an old tapered hose that started to leak on me. 3. Rattled canned my headlight surrounds in Semi-gloss black (thanks to another member here for getting me a new right side surround that had been broken by a rock or something). Plugs looked OK.

Did you sell it or scrap it, Garold?
If scrapping, is the windshield trim good? Did you grab the front fuel line grommet? |

It is still on the trailer waiting for a day ABOVE 0 before I go to the scrap yard. I sold the grommet already and the chrome, if good I would have saved it. |

Almost done with the oil cooler setup in my car.. Unfortunately I can only work on it a weekend at a time, so usually every Sunday I have to make it driveable then take it all back apart thursday night when I get back from school. Anyways, made an exhaust duct for cooler finally, here's the mold made out of cardboard, covered in aluminum foil tape, then 3 coats of mold release wax, two coats of PVA, and another 2 coats of mold release wax. I'll have a picture of the final product when I head out to my car later today. |

And yes just for an 11 miles drive (18 mins) I did get several pulls into my lane without signals. Maybe they are not aware that a 914 is on the other lane. That's why when we drive our 914 we double our defensive driving habit. |

Sir Mark,
what tire size did you install in that newly powder coated empis? [quote name='euro911' post='1988700' date='Jan 26 2014, 01:12 PM'] Wow, nice looking drive trains (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) 914 stuff: New Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires mounted and balanced on a set of powder-coated EMPIs.

Falken 195/65-15. The guy I got them from said they were on a 914 with wide tires, so I just assumed they'd be OK.
The Falkens were really inexpensive ($45. each, no tax and free shipping from AZ), so we'll see how they work out. If too wide for the car, I can always sell them to a VW guy (or girl) on The Samba ... or throw some skinnier tires on them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  |
