I am starting this thread "in medias res" with the car as it is today.
Then I will post a confusing mix of past and present, showing the project updates and process. Promise to nerd out on the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) . |

I have been busy with non Porsche activities last couple of weeks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , but made some progress on a crucial part of the oil system.
In late august I bought the oil filter bracket (69-71 911S) from a very nice and helpful forum member. The part was corroded quite badly as many of them are, and I got it for a fair price. It was of course a bit of a gamble, fixing magnesium parts is not guaranteed success. The surface threatment wears away when the oil filter are tightened, and the magnesium corrodes heavily. I removed the paint and ground away the corroded areas, it goes surprisingly deep. Material added (two hours of TIG welding by an extremely talented friend). After machining, the result was very nice! Only thing to do now is surface treatment. |
