I used dzues fasteners for a firewall access when we did the engine in my 2nd 914-6 back in 1985. Used a nice weatherstrip and it looked really nice when done. 10 fasteners total. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(BillJ @ Sep 12 2024, 07:32 AM)  Haven't posted in a while! Father's day had a great weekend and the car ran well. However I did have another head stud pull out and thus yet another rebuild. I had the case fixed but decided to pull the trigger on a brand new case from Porsche. Not 50 year old magnesium but brand new zero heat cycles no excuses case. I did check on getting billet done but they just don't make the 7r case. Only damage to internals was the slightest of nearly imperceptible blemishes on the nikasil cylinders so.sent those out to be redone. Engine is progressing now at Black Forest racing (Cody). Here are shots of the case, which other than the other one I have, is the last one in the country at present. Good progress since last father's day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

I’wish it felt that way brother! That new Porsche case really was a hold up given the recall/warranty campaign. But the end is basically in sight. Have some final tweaks and the car will be track worthy.
