The rear pads are about the same thickness.

But they need to have one hole enlarged for the retaining pin.

And the new pads are ready to bed and try out.

I did not take any photos, but I also adjusted the front wheel bearings. Both sides had loosened up just a bit.

At least I could cross one thing off the list. I figure I will get to some of these over the winter.

Curious why the front pads are so much thinner??? Hate to see all the little things on your list, but makes me happy to keep watching your post.

Not sure, Howard. I think some of the part numbers for 914-4 front pads are also used for 911 rear pads. In any case, I do not expect to wear them out too quickly.

I removed the reverse switch from the transaxle, along with the actuating pin. Lube does leak from the small pin hole, but very slowly.

Here's the pin, installed in the transaxle switch port. I confirmed that putting the trans in reverse did push the pin outward.

Then I did a bunch of measuring. I figured out that the pin action was about 0.02" too short to actuate the switch.

A simple fix: I removed the thick washer/spacer from the switch, and replaced it with some aviation gasket sealer. That moved the switch inward against the pin.

Success! When the gear shift is in reverse, the lights come on. Another item off the list.

I did a first drive on the Textar pads today, first with some easy miles and braking, and then cursing with some light brake dragging. After that, I went through some repeated hard braking to start bedding in the pads.

They feel like they have a bit more grab, but I will have to drive more to confirm.

Sorry for the absence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Life got busy with lots of non-914 things.

Anyway, to get going on progress again, I took the car back to the paint shop. When I picked it up (2 years ago!) they promised to touch up and polish the paint when I got done.

When I got home, I decided to take advantage of the empty garage space, and sort through all the piles, bags, and boxes of parts. These came off the shelves.

Plus these on my cart.

Once I make an inventory, I will separate the spares I want to keep, and then list all the stuff that might be useful to others (for sale or free). Stay tuned.

Going without your thread was like what I imagine quitting heroin would be like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Glad to see a posting and looking forward to pictures once she returns from paint touch-up and polish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Busy with things like your new granddaughter? Hate to say it but she will probably be growing like a weed, but far cuter I am sure

Busy from a distance, but we get to visit soon. I got a picture recently with her Porsche PJs on.

I sorted through about half the pile today, mostly engine parts. I will have an inventory and Fore Sale list up soon.

I did find the box of stuff that came from the interior. That's 39 cents and a cheap 10mm wrench!

Mission accomplished! 3 shelves of 914 stuff down to 1-1/2, and separated into stuff to keep and stuff to divest. Now I need to figure out some fair values for the decent stuff.
