I think Volker at FSH sells his stuff to Mittelmotor, or at least they come from the same producer.

Thank you for taking the time to document your build, I am really enjoying it! The workmanship is beautiful and I love choices you have made along the way. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Nice progress

Other good off the shelf option is Mittlemotor (steel), still spendy, but what is your time worth or metal dude cost per hour?

https://www.mittelmotor.de/racing/de/914-6-...8124-neu-detail


Mittelmotor also sells them in steel version and they have the Oil cooler cover and support plate in steel too. Bought the entire set from them last week for my project.
Hoods, bumpers, sill covers and some other parts I got from FSH.
Both great companies to work with, good quality parts, but I'm in Europe so shipping to me is not a big deal

After trying all year to secure a set of Michelin TB15s for 7s & 8s, I gave up and waited just 7 months for some Pirelli CN36s. I have these on my '67 S and love them, they'll do fine here.
Mr. Weidman anodized these in his signature RSR finish, no painted petals. Thinking of just the valve petals in a small flag of color... or maybe the lug end. Suggestions appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have a line on a spare set of 8s & 9s, hopefully the Michies will be available at some point.

Car coming together really nicely, in typical Russ fashion. That interior is a stunner. Now I am curious—were the insets under the door cards done that way on some or all cars?

Wheels definitely want for something…I'd do the dayglo red at the least, clear anodized petals to match the lips with RSR finish as you have it at most…but I know that's a hassle. ONS / "Recaro" 914-6 GT shows the way...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Exactly Pete @horizontally-opposed . Like the ONS/Recaro fire car, or Larousse/Perramond #0141 which both painted the flags red. What about green or safety yellow?

Attached Image

What's odd is why they DIDN'T paint the petal facing the valve. Never really noticed that until now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I will paint the flags on the valve petal, safety yellow is likely...

The guys from Klub Sport have returned from RRVII, and reassembly is slowly resuming. I painted the wheels as described above, got the ignition boxes installed and tomorrow will drill the handbrake holes. Details on that modification to come when the cables get here.

Bruce has the motor ready for install, but we hit a snag on the transaxle: DAPO someone drilled out the speedometer drive.

Did the insulation today... combination of one layer of Dynamat covered by Siless Liner, a closed cell foam sound and heat barrier. Doubled up, hoping for a tolerable cabin.

Also test fitment of the Perlon that didn't inspire confidence. I don't want to fuck it up so will likely bring in a pro to do it.

Nice build, a whole lot of nice touches. Speaking of touches on the second page I noticed a between the seats e-brake handle. I didn’t seem to find anything about the install. Any chance you could enlighten us? That’s kind of cool

Thanks, will provide details and pics when I get the brake cables. Basically, it's the same as a 911 using two short 914 cables. Armando has a bunch of historic photos on his GT PBase site, I just copped the simplest version.

Unless I'm densely missing sarcasm? Hardly... 80% of this build is being accomplished by talented people that are paid for their contributions. If artistry includes penmanship while writing checks, OK then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

No sarcasm intended whatsoever. Your workers are therefore very talented people. But the buck stops (& goes) with you so you know talent when you see it. Sometimes it just requires perseverance on top skill. When Michelangelo sculpted "David" he supposedly said: "You wouldn't be nearly as impressed if you knew how many times it took me to get this fucking statue right."
