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. |

That is some nice work right there - welding mag is not the easiest task in the world. And when it goes wrong it goes wrong in a big way.
You have understated your friends skills. Hope you take him large amounts of what ever his favorite substance is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

If I remember correctly the mesh is from an ac instalation I removed from my 911, so it is vintage mesh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Some quick updates before the weekend.
Fabricated a new inspection hach for the firewall. It already was one there, but it was not nice. ![]() ![]() Used the shrink/strech tool a lot for this. ![]() I was also very pleased about how the speedo cleaned up, it looked like it had been under water before I started.. ![]() ![]() Have a nice weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

The wiper assembly mechanism arm hole.. thing.. was looking a bit suspicious. So I started a little investigation. Luckily it was much better than feared.. wrong!
![]() The bottom was not saveable, deep rust pitting. ![]() Made a high tech special tool. ![]() Test fitting the part. ![]() It turned out quite nice. The other side is probably better.. very wrong! The panel around the hole had been dented with an hammer for the bondo. (unfortenatly I was to upset to remember to take a photo of this). ![]() New tool to make the fillet on top. ![]() Had to make this panel in two parts. ![]() Finished part pre welding. ![]() Finished repair. |
