I'm about to cut the floor out, and I was looking for somewhere to put the jack stands when I saw this...

There isn't one in the other side either. Am I missing a few screws? (Other than the ones in my head...)

Important. 1 of 6 that hold on the front suspension.

::: great :::

I'm missing that one, and it's twin on the other side. Do those come loose often, or did I just find another PO mistake?

DAPO... the bolts hold the rear of the gravel pan on, but they also hold the front suspension on the car.

Replace them ASAP.

Someone took off the splashpan that protects the steering rack and master cylinder. You will also see two more threaded holes for two 8mm bolts (parallel to the ground). DLee

I've got the same bolt missing off of the driver's side.....except the bolts still there, just the head missing......gonna be fun getting that one out

Yep, mine were missing as well. Only drove my car around the block a couple of times before I decided to do some brake work. Posted the same pic as you after I crawled around and looked under there. I got the bolts and pan off a donor car.

Interesting place for the fuel pump.

Yeah, I noticed that too...Tell me THAT isn't vulnerable! I'll be moving it up inside when I re-run the lines this weekend.

geez...all you put those bolts in! You should:

1. get the bolts
2. get a pan to protect that stuff
3. fuel filter and fuel pump should be up above and under the tank..that is where they put it in 75/76 model years.

Good thing you are going through this thing!

Yeah. I'm starting to be real glad I'm taking the time to go through the whole thing. I'll be doing more than I thought I would...but that's half the fun...right?

Actually, I'm really enjoying this. The plan is to drive it to WCC...we'll see how that goes.

What size are those bolts? I might have some.

can you tell me if mines still there?

Scary? Post 1974 911s have it there .................... The Cap'n

Yeah, I don't really have a problem with the fuel pump there as long as it's securely mounted and you have the gravel pan in place.

xsboost90, looks like your bolts are in place, but your drivers side horn is in the wrong place.

for anybody that chatted in this thread about missing the steering rack cover/pan....just ran across this one up on ebay today:

For those that need to find this hard part.
