Karl, very nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif). Have you thought on what kind of lights you are going to use? H4's or for the bad a$$ car bad a$$ lights (Xenon's) like myself. And one more thing why can't you be in San Diego. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Timo,


We purchase that kit from Clewitt engineering near Los Angeles Ca.

Richard Clewitt is the person who makes those parts.

I second what Brad says about doing it right.

Doing it right, however, doesn't mean you can't stage your project into affordable chunks. I have found in real life as well as in Gran Tourismo - that it's better to save and get the stuff you really want rather than compomising because of cost. So if you want a 3.2l 6 - save for it and don't buy a 2 litre!

Fiid.

I've got a set of period NOS Cibie Z-beam headlights with Pia superwhites in there.

Stock fogs with 50w halogen inserts, new lenses, and rechromed reflectors.

That sensor is from Clewett Engineering. http://www.clewett.com/products/ignit.htm

Been busy...

Beed blasted the brake shields, A-arms caps, trailing arm link bearings...

(IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/images/dscn1925.jpg)


I finally completely disassmbled and bead blasted the trailing arms

(IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/images/dscn1920.jpg)


This reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon.... "Nature's way of saying... DO NOT TOUCH!"

Karl.. to reach great Anal heights you must use a 60 grit grinding disc and remove all welding flash and buzz down the seams on the control arms before powder coating.

I just did this Monday night to the arms going on the Black 3.6 car.

Karl and Brad,

Karl, I remember from a previous post that for your rear 5-bolt conversion you were using a combination of early 911 drive flanges, CV's, 911 axles and early 911 hubs. Is that correct?

Brad, I know you've discussed this on the PP forum in the past.

Could one of you please list the correct 911 pieces and years to make this work? Flanges, axles, CV's, bearings? Thanks.

Mike

Early 911 5-bolt hubs

Early 911 stub axles 4-bolt CV

Early '69 to '74 Axles

Sportomatic drive flange for tranny output. Course spline. This has a slightly deeper dish than the regular 901 output flanges and allows you to bolt the entire assembly up without having to use a spacer.

Early 911 wheel bearings for the rear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Karl, Thanks. I wonder how hard it is to find Sportmatic flamges?

There are a couple of different variations on the sporto flanges. It's the '70 to '74??? range. The 915 tranny sporto used something similar which will also work.

I found mine by posting an ad on the Bird's 911 classifieds.

Here is what to look for... 4 bolt ( if your CVs are 4-bolt). Course splined, tranny out put flange, from 901 or early 915 transmission.

The large end of the flange that bolts to the axle is cupped. The desired sporto output flange has a deeper dish (about 1/4 to 3/8") or so. It is obvious when comparing the two. This is the desired one. It's this extra depth that allows you to use this combo without a spacer.

You can run this setup with the regular 901/915 course spline. The .250 difference is split between two CV's which ends up being .125 on either end.The CV's have enough play that you can do this NO problem. We beat the piss out of them in race cars and V8 conversion cars with NO failures.

Dont sweat trying to find the sporto's. Its not worth it. If they fail on you (EVER) track me down. I'll replace both axles for you (sound confident enough for you ?)

Karl I was under the impression that the dust covers(brake rotor backing plates) will not fit on this conversion. True or false??

I have the same rear setup why are you using rear 911 bearings? I though that you could only use 914 bearings.

BTW

Great attention to detail!

The early 911 (69-71) hubs use the same wheel bearing as the 914-6 (and 914-4).

Umm... Craig... you're probably right. I didn't think that far ahead. Oh well... nice clean brake shields for my parts stash.

Okay... today's progress.

1:00 AM - couldn't sleep so I rough fitted the Smart Racing bar parts together...

(IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/images/dscn1936.jpg)

This was MUCH easier than expected. Removed a-arms from ball joints, removed the torsion bars, torched off the bushing hosings and removed the rubber bushings, and finally cut off and ground down the Carrera underbody swaybar tabs.

Euro says woof! I can't wait for my ride!
