Has anyone any thoughts on 914-6 engine access throught the firewall.
I am thinking of a hole cut in the firewall about 12"X12". This would allow access to service or remove the alternator/fan assembly. It would make distributor access easy and possibly other front engine items. I am tininking of the piece removed becoming the door with a 1" peripheral sheet metal piece welded to it and fasten back on the firewall with sheetmetal screws. Possibly with a neoprene gasket or silicon sealant. Does anyone have any thoughts on this pro or con. Has anyone done this or seen this on a 914? Thanks, Ricardo |
