www.fittings.space in Sparks, NV, makes all sorts of 'Metric to SAE, AN, NPT adapters, which we used their *stainless steel part here/ in conjuction with a VDO ⅛" NPT sending unit.


Saving this resource. Little things like this can be so frustrating when you can't find the right adapter.

Good day today & tidied up runs of wire that have been pulled through into the trunk area. I use 'Goodridge fire sleeve which I've been sourcing at www.pegasusautoracing.com
Also purchased all sorts of racing hardware, Tilton pedal assembly, brake bias control, etc. from them; excellent product knowledge/ customer service (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Nice to see Goodridge product on the Porsche 963 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Looks like they are fire-sleeving the turbo oil supply (#4AN) lines, and #12AN (oil drain scavenge) lines which seem to be in a super hot zone !

@KELTY360 Marc, the 8gtt sounds should be an earful...even for a non-flat plane crank Cayenne v8 ! The basic tech in my shorty shorty header design, is how the placement of the tubes enter into the collector; left and right side headers respectively.

Following the Cayenne v8 firing order: 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8
I place the tubes in a (rotational) position, so during the normal scavenging taking place = the exhaust pulses fire into the collector in a rotational fashion.
This gives an extra performance benefit during evacuation of the exhaust pulses. Can't hurt getting the pulses to scaveng even quicker, right?

I'm having a few sets of these 18ga. SS plates laser cut for use with these cool 914 headlights, which install into the previous front turn signal locations.
Since we are using Sheridan fiberglass body panels, when you slice the (faux) turn signal 'Pods from the top of the fenders you are left with a ¹/16" perimeter edge...which is not real sturdy to attach these light fixtures on.
The thin plates will be epoxied into place, then these new light assemblies* will have a sturdy foundation to sit on. Then I will add another support bracket inside the fender, in order to catch the stud/nut on the assembly.
Mfg. by* www.3DGAUTO.com

Back side of the new headlight assembly, high and low beam are in this set up. Fully adjustable, simple instructions, and looks like the wire cables are plug + play for converting a stock 914 .
