I am getting ready to weld in a replacement brake cable shield, the one on the inner longitudinal inside next the the drivers seat. Does anyone have a picture of where it was precisely located? I have a 1973 1.7

Thanks

Cockpit side (driver)


Engine compartment side (driver)

I don't have a pic or measurements for the shield. I decided to simplify this and just use a roller to redirect the cable. The bolt is welded to the floor on a small plate of 14ga steel. There's a steel sleeve under the phenolic roller.

Oops, did I pick the wrong one to image?

Oh the shame.

Do you mean the plate that sits flat over the corner held in with two PK screws?? If so I cxan get a pic for you as I have mine all apart at the moment although mine is a 75 2.0 so may be different.

That looks like a bent rear pad bracket!

Hang on. I'll send you a pic

OK. Not sure how these will come out and my cover needs a repaint as part of thius tidy up. But basically it fits into the corner as per the first photo. You may have to save the photo and play with it to see exaactly how it fits

Ok, so it is oposite the rear seat mount, and there is another bracket attached to it I have to find! Crap, now I have to look through more boxes!

Thank you all.

oop, too slow

Hey Porschefile, my sister lives in Tasmania! Small world!

Thank you, nice work....

No worries. Tasmania is verry much like NZ. Very pretty place but, like us a bit wet and wild.
I think that rear plae is the more important one as it seems to protect the return spring and stop anything dropping in there nd stopping the mechanism workingproperly. Good luck anyqway.

I've never seen that screw on plate before. Anyone here seen one of better yet, have one they'd like to part with?

Eric....I got a couple from BDStone some time ago, fresh powder coated, check with him as I think he has more of them.

just put mine in last week

Nice job Andy, I wish I could weld that cleanly...
