Get that car finished so you can drive it down to Monterey and meet us in September!

Should be on the road in a month or less now. I'd like to send a set of calipers off to Eric for rebuilding before Monterey, but at this point I think we're golden.

Are you planning on bringing your car out this way?

I am hoping to bring two IMSA 914s, going to be a busy winter!

Really happy for you Randy! You've been at it for some time, and the reward will be awesome.

Thanks! I've been wanting to be at this point for over a year now, but we had a few big house projects that needed all our time and $$ that we're just wrapping up.

Fitted the rain hats on the carbs you rebuilt the other evening. Can't wait to hear some air moving through them soon!

Did we ever determine is this is the correct return spring for the CSP linkage?

https://www.csp-shop.com/en/engine/return-s...100-20650a.html

I looked through a ton of CSP related threads but didn't see anything confirming that this is the part to get.

Thanks!

Both versions of that spring (129 881 100 & 129 881 100A) both appear to twist the wrong direction. They're for rear engine applications where the cable approaches from the transmission side.

I haven't bought or hear of anyone buying either, so this is just my 'read' on the pictures. CSP said they were working on a spring way back during the group buy, but I never heard anything.

I would try McMaster 9271K131 and see if that might be made to work.

Ah, got it. Okay, so you're saying that I should hold my breath as even though it's been years, they're probably _this_close_ to having that spring ready, right?

Okay, I'll make something work. Thanks Mark!

Ordered the pack of springs from McMaster-Carr. I'll let you know if they can be made to work.

Mark, I'll have some extras too if you'd like me to mail you four of them. LMK.

This wording is weird, eh? I had planned on keeping two for myself.

Just sorting parts. Still waiting for my sheet metal to arrive back from the powder coater. Planning on installing the motor next weekend as long as I get my tin back this week. Looking positive.





Nice collection of parts...must feel great putting the car back together!

Where's the "obsessed" emoji? Yeah Mike, it feels great! Can't wait to be back in the driver's seat again soon.

You're getting close-ish with your project too, right?

Oh sheesh. Thanks! One look at the OD and I would have caught that. This is what happens when you try to multitask too many things at once kiddos.

I immediately wrote McMaster-Carr after seeing your post Mark and here's what they replied with -

"Hi Randy,

We've already shipped this out, but we'll credit it back to you. You don't need to return it.

Mike"

Talk about awesome customer service!

I ordered the correct spring as well and will advise as soon as I'm at that point.

The wife has told me to put the 914 as priority number 1 as far as my projects go. She even admits that she sees no major projects on the home front so I am good until she sees a home improvement that "needs" to be done.
