Appreciate it. Yeah, it just takes a bit of time to get it all dialed in correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@mb911 - Ben, just caught your post re the 24mm rotors. I sourced my complete front brake system, all in one purchase, from Eric, so I would be surprised if I ended up with the wrong rotors. Not saying it is impossible, just not probable in my mind. But hey, you never know. Regardless, I now love my brakes and the pedal feel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

OK, after thinking about the Momo hub (too long) I decided I would rather not modify the hub. So I sourced an early, solid, short hub (took a bit) that is in excellent condition. Reportedly it is a total of 2 3/8" deep. That would be exactly what I was looking for. (For you guys with long legs, (not me) having the current Momo hub is probably a welcome change.) Once it arrives, hopefully by the end of the week, I will do a side by side comparison with photos for all to see. Once that is sorted, I will pull the wheel back off and send it to Dallas Customs for a double wrap in the high-quality black leather with black stitching.

I am also going to add some sound deadening inside my doors. I pulled the panels off to address some routine maintenance and saw I only had some spray-on body shutz in the doors. I have some sound deadening coming, should be here by the end of the week. I will add a few strips inside the door shells and then button the doors up. I am not worried about the added weight of the few strips sound deadening and it may help with road noise -maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

when we added the early S front calipers to the equation of the 914-6 GT rear calipers, we screwed up the system and the brake proportioning valve was no longer working like it was intended.


Odd... you had exactly what the Factory GT's used (S-Calipers are designed off the 908 caliper forging). As far as the "system" goes the system sees the same 48mm pistons up front and 38mm pistons in the rear regardless.

48mm S-Caliper Piston
48mm 908 Caliper Piston
48mm Stock 914-6 M-Caliper Piston
48mm A-Caliper Piston that you replaced it with

38mm 914-6 Rear Caliper Piston
38mm 914-6/GT Caliper Piston
38mm 911 Rear Caliper Piston

Not sure how the brake fluid can discern the difference in caliper bodies and the "pressure regulator" and the "system" wasn't now working as intended.

This issue was the seals hadn't been broken in yet on the lighter pistoned S-Calipers. It can take months. The stronger (new) seals pull the pistons back more aggressively causing a low pedal. The A-Calipers are much more forgiving (yet 4lbs. each heavier.) I do like the 23mm MC.

Prototipo 370mm padded and recovered with black stitching and the old solid shorter hub:
Also, I have brand new allen screws to install after I take her for a ride to make sure we are 100% right.

Modded gauges and Momo look great in that cockpit.

yup that is a very clean and nice car and followed the entire build thread since it was towed here in SoCal and started redoing the restoration at Kent’s shop then to Jim’s beautiful garage for parts installation.

Same here would like to know where you got the horn button. For my prototipo steering wheel.

Hi Guys,

Thanks again. I sourced the horn button by emailing Carbone. I told them what I was looking for and they accommodated me. I love it. I have purchased several items from Carbone and they have always been reliable, prompt and their stuff is quality made.

They have to be careful they do not run into any trademark issues with you know who.

I was going through a box in the garage and came across 2 old pictures, circa 1980, of my 2nd 1970 914-6. These were taken by a photographer at Castro Valley High School on the football field. He photographed my car for a Porsche book which I have somewhere, as an example of the 914-6. It is hard to tell but it is Irish Green; I was the 2nd owner and the first owner was a professor at Cal (Berkeley). I think I may have paid $5K for it; it was a nice complete car- of course it was because it was only 10 years old.

Just spent a little time conditioning the leather and cleaning the interior for Werks Reunion on the 19th. I will tuck that red wire behind the console now that I see it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Made it to Werks Reunion and the venue this year was perfect. We arrived at 5:45 AM and got lucky as there were people there and we were able to drive right in. Then we saw the 914 area and pulled in and parked right next to this beautifully restored 916 (1 of 11 made) which had just completed a full restoration by Patrick Motorsports. That car took the Blue ribbon- deservedly so.

Pretty damp and foggy in the morning. As luck would have it, when we checked in at the desk about 1 hour later, we were already parked in our assigned spot.
