Since you are in there why not replace the sender with a whip & remotely mount the OE sender &/or possibly pressure sender ?

Hi, Rich--are you trying to get me into more trouble?

But good idea, and maybe something for the future.

Alternator ready to install.


Bob,

Are you using the gaskets with the rebuild?
There is one for the back cover and another kind for the front where it mates with the Tin. This front one I cannot locate.

Also, I have read on here, some alternator rebuilds can have an issue with the stud for the harness inside the back grounding on the cover. Confirm there is sufficient clearance. Wouldn’t want any surprises with all that new shiny stuff.

Love your build!

Sean


Thanks, Sean. I made a rear gasket, and have a front gasket (plastic ring) in-bound. Good reminder on the stud--mine has good clearance (and a new rubber boot).


Of course you've got this covered!
Where did you source the front gasket (plastic ring) from?

Thanks,

I put a WTB notice in the classifieds, and a kind 914Worlder had one for sale.

That's 3 yards of 72 inch wide Perlon, in gray. I want enough to take care of the frunk, headliner, and more.

Laying out frunk pieces. That's the original bulkhead cover and my new custom floor.

Floor with the Perlon stuck on the top side (I hope). The floor is not symmetrical, due to notches for the wire bundle and the frunk release.

I folded the Perlon over the edges, and glued onto the underside.

It fits! And a snug fit, like I was hoping.

Awesome detail, awesome work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I really do enjoy to follow your built.

Just to be picky: The SILVER VIN PLATE is still missing in this beautiful front trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, the original(?) headlight box did not have one, and I spliced in another with the front right corner from a donor--also lacking the plate. I might have to get a repro.

As always your work looks awesome Bob. The frunk floor is a piece of art.

Today, I started on the doors, beginning with the right side. First step was to rinse the inside, which still had some blasting media inside.
