Anybody got a project with the swaybar removed that might be able to get Will a more exact measurement and possible picture/template?

the important thing (I think) is to make sure they are the same on both sides. Make yourself a little template and it's easy...I mean something that fits in the recess...I know I'm not clear, just keep both sides the same. If you don't adjustable droplinks should clear up the problem if it's not too bad. right?

If you are going to do anything to the master cylinder, I'd suggest that you hit the brake line fittings with a wire brush and some PB Rustblaster or Liquid wrench. Give it a few days and hit it again.

What sort of tool are you using to remove the surface rust, a hard wheel? It looks too coarse to me, and it also looks like you've overheated the metal (the blue parts) when you ground it, which can cause problems in the future. Get a 3M Roloc holder and some 3M Bristle discs, they won't burn the metal and do a great job.

Overall, you seem to have a fine chassis, that most salt belt 914'ers would love to have.

I used to live in Elgin, IL and actually drove a 914 in the winter, back in '78 that is. Great handling car for snowy/icy roads, but I cringe when I think about all that salt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Started restoration on the front arms (with sway bar tabs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ) that I got off Evel-Bay for $10 (Shipping was $28 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

The heat and twist trick took the bushings off in like 15 seconds each (picked up tanks for may accetiline torch last week) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I could not break loose the ball joint nuts (didn't want to F the arms up so I didn't try real hard yet) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

No pictures yet. More to come

Ok, I split the ball joint nuts and just cleaned up the arms.

Pulled Boge inserts out of front struts, cleaned them and torqued in the Bilstiens

Quick coat of paint on A arms and I'll install ball joints.

then drill for grease fittings.
