Thanks, Ian. I can handle more 914 driving as "work".

First Durango cars and coffee for the 914 today. Beautiful weather and a good turnout. And lots of positive comments.

In the cool morning, with the top off, I tested the heat--it works!


Bob, this is an awesome photo with the two Porsches and the Durango Steam Engine. Your car looks awesome and I can't think of a better first outing....Congratulations.

Thanks, Howard. It was a fun day. Unfortunately, by the time the train showed up many of the other cars had left, so mine looks a bit lonely.

Never fear, Brian. I still have to work through my punch list.

Going a bit OT, but garage time this weekend was dedicated to replacing the fuel pump and sender in my 2001 Suburban 2500. I like most things about the design, but the pump is accessed on top of the main tank. The official procedure requires dropping the tank, and lots of other stuff. The more common way is to cut a hole in the floor under the back seat. I wanted to make this look reasonably good, which requires a 6" hole saw, old school 1/2" electric drill that spins slow, a guide jig, and a willing young person.

We found the correct location by drilling 3 holes (in sequence, getting closer) and looking down with my borescope.

I swapped in the new pump, connected fuel lines and wires, and tested it. I made a bracket and pop-riveted the cut-out into the hole.

Funny you should ask. I had half a tube of 3M seam sealer left over from the 914, and a spray can of paint to match the Suburban. I tried to match some of the factory sealer smears on the floor.

And then everything back to the way it was.

OK, enough about that--back to my 914.

I tried out my new Tenhulzen camber gauge. I had ordered this a couple of weeks ago, but it was delayed. This has a simple adjustable frame with a digital angle gauge that is attached by magnets. It may not be more accurate than my old gauge with w bubble level, but it looks cooler.

Final(?) camber numbers still look good, and are within 0.1° of what I measured last time.

Finally, some 914 time.

I got the new repro engine bottom sheet metal (right side) from Auto Atlanta. It looks like a nice piece, just a little rough on the edges.

The raw fit is close. BTW, I have aftermarket SS heat exchangers, so even an original sheet metal piece might not fit.

I added a couple of holes so I can tie the clutch, speedo, and O2 cables to the underside.
