Would be in if we can meet somewhere central, maybe in Seattle or Bellevue (Bellevue Brewing Company?).

I think I could do tomorrow, next week I will be in Milwaukee and I don't think I will be home before 9 PM, then vacation for a week.

Howdy-

Does anyone in the Seattle area have a recommendation for brake work? And approximate cost?

I want to replace the master cylinder with a 19mm.

After taking the engine out, refreshing it and putting the FI back to stock, I think I'm going to do myself a favor and outsource the job. Tired of crawling under the car!

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Many thanks-

Monty at Redmond European regularly works on air cooled porsches. One day when I dropped my car off there were 4 914's in his lot. I think the fact that others in town won't work on 914's helps his business some.

Thanks for the recommendation! That's what I was looking for, someone who wouldn't mind working on teeners!

I'll have him do brakes and a tune.

Got the motor back in the car today, and it running. Still gotta get it dialed in. I spent way too much time gapping the points.

Had the car idling and timed correct, then drove in the alley and stalled. I suspect due to the clutch not disengaging causing the car to lug and stall.

Trying to eat this elephant one bite at a time!

Appreciate it.

John Walker is a wonderful guy and if I was paying someone to do work I'd rather give him my money. Your other option is to pull out the bbq and stock the fridge with brew. There's quite a few of us that could give you a hand for less $$$ although you'd have to put up with the bs

Thanks Billy!
I can definitely do that! Was thinking of hosting a work party just to verify my timing and valve clearances. I'd hate to have folks do brakes though. That seems mean. LOL.

Good tip on John. He was who I was going to take 911sc to but totally wasn't thinking about the 914.

This is Miles ' car that he bought when he was 14 and I'm trying to get it really dialed in (maybe there's no such thing as 914 nirvana)for his 18th birthday at the end if the month.

I'm in West Seattle so we could also do an Alki drive.

I'll keep you all posted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Walker (and Chris) are the 2 guys I regularly hear won't work on 914's. Maybe they mean they won't work on Type IV's.

Either way, Monty is a good guy and has done some great work for me, though it's hardly convenient to West Seattle!

I'd be fine sitting in your driver seat pumping the brake pedal for you. it's easy work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Quick question - By Chris, you mean Chris Powell, I'm assuming?

I got a pedal pumping monkey, I'm thinking the Master Cylinder install is NOT going to be fun due to not being able to get the car up high enough.

Appreciate the advice and offer!!!

I couldn't remember Chris's official business name, it's apparently Chris' German Auto Service, http://chrisgerman.com/. my comments should be in the heresay category, I've never asked Chris or Walker to work on a 914, so don't know for sure. Both are very well regarded for Porsche air-cooled work.
