...And the results of Olav's work--a (mostly) clean fuel tank compartment!

...And that's all the pics I have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Thanks Dave! The tank compartment looks much better all clean.

Never seen the front of a 914 jacked like that. Tell me where the jack is making contact with the car.

Not where the jack stands are (lift reinforcing plates, donuts, etc). I'm looking at the floor jack on page 1. It looks like the jack is under the front valance.

I'm also curious as to what are those metal pieces just inboard of the
shock towers, I have never seen a 914 with those. Of course, they're
probably mostly hidden by the tank, but still I've had tanks out before
and not seen that curved piece.

Mark,

You're not talking about those pieces of carpet glued in there for the tank to rest on, are you?

Mark,

I believe those are where the front factory oil cooler lines would have gone if the car was a GT.

The car was lifted by the front torsion bar mount. That supports a good portion of the weight of the car and is one of the standard lifting/supporting points.

Mark, I think the curved metal pieces you are referring to are just the ends of the bulkhead that goes in front of the gas tank. They were painted black on Olav's car for some reason, I'm not sure why.

I cant figure out what Mark is talking about.

All the sixes I have ran across have been painted black around the shocks towers and bulkhead. I have NO idea why Porsche did this, but they did it on 911's also. (Black strut towers) its a sound deadening or undercoating.

99% of the time I use the round jack plate to jack up the 914's using the factory jack points. I have 2 plates and both of them where in the race car trailer 1.5 hours away. Soo.. the next best place is right on the torsion bar "skid plate"
