THE MULE IN PANO Options

[sechszylinder]

So I just found out that PANO will be mailed late this month and next. Printer issues.

Anyway, my white 914-6 Test Mule has 10 pages of coverage in the November issue starting on page 88.

The article was written last January and the photo shoot was at Amelia Island in May.

The November Pano can be viewed online now on the PCA website

If anyone is interested I have a a few more detailed photos that didn't get used in Pano that I could post and answer questions.

Enjoy

Hi Steve,

thats a very intertesting story, but I do not have access to the PCA website. Is there any chance to get the pictures or the complete story ? Maybe by buying only that particular article from PCA ?

Any help is appreciated !

So I have received some emails from people who are reading Pano. One asked for a better picture of the front suspension. As noted in the article the bars are longer than normal in the car. Reinhard Leichner, engineer at Porsche and 2nd owner, told me that the longer bars made it easier to dial in the spring rate they wanted. Here is a close up that is better than what is in Pano. Note the body modification needed to get the cap off the car.

Very cool car, very interesting story.
There is a picture in Pano of the bottom of the engine / trans.
Would it be possible for you to show detail photos of the gearshift linkage and
bracket / holder for the accelerator cable on the side of the differential ?
I'm installing a 915/916 in my clone and want to compare.
Your clutch cable seems to operate on the same principle as the '70-'71 911
Does the pedal feel different ?
TIA
Rory
PS If you'd rather I'll include my email in a PM

The factory front 916 bumper looks amazing compared to the aftermarket reproductions.

I really wish someone would make an actual repro of the original 916 front/rear bumpers.

Every single aftermarket one i have seen looks like shite, and that includes the ones on my car.

Have money, will throw it in your general direction. Anyone? Please?

Can’t it now be laser scanned without even touching the car? Then 3D printed? Maybe?

I was thinking the same thing about scanning it. Could do it right on the car, clean up the file and them dump it to a CNC carver to cut a male so a mold could be made.

I just realized, my car (#374) is only 1 off a GT that is also here in the bay area and only 2 off this mule.

They were basically rubbing bumpers at the factory!


My car was "almost famous", watching them Porsche engineers walk by and pulling those other two chassis from the assembly line right behind it.
