Oof. Still not the worst job Ive found on the 914. For me it was reattaching the torsion spring for the rear trunk. I can go the rest of my life and never do that again. However, now that I made the tool for it, Im less likely to hurt myself if I should have to.

Replaced a section I had already repaired. Fit was not what I wanted.

I thought I had ordered the big rubber boot cover for the firewall.
I used multiple sizes of the sleeving to build the transition gasket from the big hole to the little hole to accommodate the speedometer cable.

I finally gave up and cut the ends off of my new heater control cables as I tried four different ways to sneak them through and they would get in a bind. I’m not sure if the tubes were bent at some point.
Feeding the wires with the ends cut took about 30 seconds
Then I used Aluminum sleeves to reattach
