Looking good, Colin. Maybe sell one of your thirty other cars to buy a six?
Just a thought. |

Original MCs were ATE with a 17mm bore. Getting a little harder to find a new 17mm for a good price these days, but 19mm are still plentiful.

Look around on it for numbers. There should be a "17" or a "19" on the top side, I believe. You'll need a mirror and a flashlight to see if the MC is still installed.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915153.2.jpg) Whats left of the 14 year old gas that was in my old tank, thats also borked. and while i went out to get parts and dispose of the fuel this happened right next to me. This is not how you E92 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915154.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915154.4.jpg) rear brakes needed to be rebuilt since they did not want to have a working hand brake, also one of the cables was freying, good thing i have a press at home, had to press the adjuster back into the piston. Thanks to Eric for the parts to do that. hes honestly awesome for all the help he gave me ill always appreciate that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915154.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915154.6.jpg) Got those on and bled. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915155.7.jpg) Heat exchangers, Mine of course were cracked and poorly repaired. so cue the music and heres the next project. all finished up, Had to beat some galvanized sheet metal to form to the end, and used some aluminum bar stock to pull the case halfs together and give it some rigidity. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915155.8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915155.9.jpg) Now back to the battery tray issue. Everyone knows I like to hit things with a hammer, so that skill ( If you want to call it that) worked out great for this next bit. because I lack a welder at home and i did not want to cut the fender off the car and the side of the engine bay out i elected to put a patch in, obviously because someone hates me (i know who) the firewall where the battery tray is not flat. Means i had to make this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915155.10.jpg) used this to braze the corners where the metal needed to be brought in. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915156.11.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915156.12.jpg) ill be honest, i just bought a new battery tray, re attached my original ECU bracket to it and blasted and re painted my battery stand and stuck that all sort of together. the other spare part you see in this picture is the patch to go on the wheel well side of the firewall, and thats flat. who knows why. i used a sealant and more rivets than i probably needed to hold it all together. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915157.13.jpg) And finished off, before paint. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915157.14.jpg) Of course all hell broke loose when i had to change the speedo cable. Since my car is a 76 it means its subject to californias emissions standards of the time. it had a cat and it had a oxygen sensor. Not anymore! but weirdly that means i have a retarded speedo cable set up. It feeds from the trans to a box in the passenger footwell then to the speedo. Homie dont play dat. I just bypassed it. however it required some interesting perspective to get the work done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915158.15.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1413915158.16.jpg) I cant say that was fun to stuff though the center tunnel. and i re packed the front bearings since they sat for 12 years and who knows what kind of shape that grease was in. And replaced the rubber hoses to the calipers. Im not into flintstone mode..... They were harder than a pedo at the local prep school so it was good to replace really. |

FYI.. pop rivets won't hold the battery tray, because batteries are HEAVY. Been there, done that. Find a friend with a welder to attach it.

Did your friend use a .250 thou pop rivet? with 720 pounds of shear capacity?
I think it will be fine. |

Out with a friend and his audi, Never ment to have that in the shot but its a great car even if it has the stance of a monster truck. Also changed the Throttle cable(Thank fuck), and put fire sleeve on my clutch cable and speedo cable. Pulled the wiper arms off to blast them as well as some other misc shit. I forget, I just stick it in the cabinet then blast the holy hell out of it. Oh and hooked up a breather box. So my motor wont feel like the NYPD is arresting it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783445.2.jpg) Had to re seal the rear window, it was the cause of my floor pan rust. Stupid owner had the car painted before me then they never put it back in properly. Doing some carbs for another 914 friend. He said they only sat outside for a little bit. Yeah right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783445.3.jpg) Drove my car to go see my good friend Arthur, Of course since i was 57 miles from home the car decided it did not want to shift at all. First second and occasionally 3rd was not going to get me home. Since i had no idea what the problem was i was hesitant to drive it lest their be loose something in the trans. Onto the tow truck we go. (Thank you Arthur) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783445.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783446.5.jpg) Two hours of LA traffic in a tow truck, what an adventure. The cause, This is supposed to have bushings in it, They decided that right then was a good time to demand to be replaced. Easy enough to fix, gave me a excuse to re paint my shifter rod that was scratched up from the original install. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783446.6.jpg) But not before i tore the shift console out of the trans to check the roll pin on the selector forks... UGH least it did not leak after i re installed them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783446.7.jpg) Nice day out in my bmw in Laguna Canyon chasing a Austin Healey 3000 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783446.8.jpg) Of course since i fixed one thing, another problem had to crop up. now the master cyl is leaking, so i have that on order. UGH 280$ People buy my T shirts and Mounts! i have a herd of vintage cars and a mini to support! Your part order could save this mechanical orphan! Cant wait to see what this turns into. Rain sucks for working on cars. |

Nice progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783326.1.jpg) When you patch that jack support, leave a couple of good-sized drainage holes at the bottom corners on each side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i821.photobucket.com-16526-1427783446.6.jpg) If you can find a set of bronze bushings, you'll probably never have to perform this task again. |

Pelican Parts had the bronze shift coupler bushings a couple of months ago, if you want to go that route. I bought a pair and will be giving them a try at some point.
Years ago the original black plastic shift coupler bushings in my car literally disintegrated and shifting became impossible. The replacements I got were a dark red delrin-type material. The difference was amazing and along with replacement of the other shift linkage bushings, the shifting was greatly improved. I guess the point is, whether you go bronze or plastic, you should see a big improvement. |

Oh Bruce/Glen helped me find all new parts for the shifter so from the shifter to the trans is all new now.
They recommended a 911 part in that coupler i have pictured so thats fixed. |

Over the last few years, I have done a few more things to the car. Ill have to add more pictures than this.
But due to the leaking window I had to repair the floor pan. I took the advice of a local metal guy who honestly could have been more helpful. Really I would have been better off doing it my way and in the future I may revisit my repair. Only the passenger side was affected so that was nice. I also have re carpeted the car, Need to do the seats and dash. I also removed the back pad, put in two layers of sound insulation and a felt GT style firewall cover. I prefer it to the padded back pad, it seems no louder but the car feels more roomy. Earlier I mentioned I had a opportunity to buy a full carrera Front end so i did. I ultimately sold the brake calipers off of it and replaced them with some Early S calipers I had PMB restore for me with new shocks/bearings/ rotors/ball joints/ bushings and powder coat. I am however thinking about going to a boxster set of brakes as Im not sure how I feel about these S calipers. I also finished a full 5 lug conversion with a 911 parking brake because I was tired of the parking brake on the car just being not very modern feeling or modern functioning. this could be a load of things such as venting clearance or how the rear calipers were rebuilt (Did them at home) But i was over it and I wanted more brakes because I knew where this ultimately was going. I now have the pmb recommended 108mm "System" with 911 parts everywhere. Motor has been running great, I added a under deck rear cooler, Ill post pictures of that soon. Trans continues to shift perfectly. And I have been running the wheels I bought from 0396, Gotta say I miss Peter. I repainted the roof, and did the trailing arm reinforcement when i changed over to 5 lug. Also I back dated the bumpers, I absolutely hated those big ugly bumpers. So the paint is failing its a little disheartening but ok. Here is how it sits as of right now. Attached thumbnail(s)

After running the car around a bunch and never being happy with the oil temps I added a thermostaticly controlled oil cooler with fans that are also controlled by a thermostat.
I am lazy and do not want to be bothered trying to remember to turn fans on and off. Besides in my mind this is the correct way to do it. I also added some 2.0L SSI exchangers. They are much better as everyone knows. Attached image(s)
