Use a heat-gun and the results are awesome (at least to me). The material shrinks down to all the reliefs in the floor.

I asked my body shop to reccomend a sound deadening material. They said the Honda (I know rice burner) product was the best. I cut paper patterns, cut the material, and installed. This product is adhesive on the back. After it was stuck in place, I used a heat-gun. This material is like flat heat-shrink, and I think it's on for good.

No kiddin? What (and how) do they charge for that stuff? Id it by the square foot?

Back side of dash had some hand writting underneath. I decided to leave it. Maybe it was Fritz's signature back in May '70 ??

I've been following this thread forever it seems; fantastic job doesn't seem high enough praise.

Soon enough you'll be out there trying to dodge flying bugs from desecrating that paint.

Kudos my friend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Be sure to cover the surface of the wheel well. That's where most of the road noise comes from. That thin piece of sheetmetal is all that's between you and the tire.

The Honda product only comes in 48" square sheets. The pic I posted shows the part number. It is packaged in a flat box, not a roll. My local Honda dealer charged me $88.

I was lucky to find a new old stock Bosch Blue Tip antenna for 914 on ebay (but I'm sure these antenna's were used for many other models too). Even came with the two keys.

Started to repl internals on the original 914/6 transaxle. Repl all front and rear bearings, side bearings, syncros, and of course converted to side-shifter. I saved the old shifter, linkage, internal selectors and rear cover.

I received the restored gauges from North Hollywood Speedometer; their work is beautiful. The combo gauge is original, the speedo is new 914, and the tach is '70 911E (I asked NHS to move the redline to 7200 to match the Distributor). I'll keep the original 914/6 gauges.

I am really admiring your work, this car is turning out absolutely gorgeous!

I have two questions for you:

1.Since I see you are using ALOT of NOS parts, what are you using for seals?

2.What did you do for a dash? Is that an original or a recover? If it is a recover, what is your opinion of the quality?

Pete-

Thank you sooo much for the compliment. I've seen your work so I'm humbled that you approve.

The seals (weatherstrips) are all genuine. I've looked at the repros which are good, but I believe there is no substitute for OE. Of course the problem is they're always expensive, and can be challenging to locate.

The dash is genuine, however I believe this is one of the last production runs which Porsche made proboble in the '80's but I don't know that for a fact. I bought this dash from Camp 914 about three years ago.

Are you building another 914?

Eddie,

For the time being there is not another car in the works. But, that doesn't mean I am not accumulating all the appropriate parts. The chassis is the easy part to find. The parts are another story.

I have to agree with you 100% there is nothing like OEM...and that is one of the reasons I am biding my time...collecting as much OEM stuff first, rather than paying up for it, when you need immediately in the middle of a build. Made that mistake once, easier to have as much collected before you start.

I was curious about your seals, if you were using aftermarket would have liked your opinion, but, you just reinforced my thoughts, buy original.

Same goes for the dash...keeping my eye out for a REALLY good early dash. The one that went into my car was NOS as well, had it for at least 12 years.

Keep up the great work on your car, I look forward to seeing the thing getting finished.

Peter
