Guys,

A spin-off from another posting earlier this morning abou the layout of my newly bought 914. I'm still in the dark when it comes to layout and routing of cables and hoses.

What I would like to see is a (or more) example(s) of nicely prepped engine bays. Just as an example for me as a target to achieve.

My car is a full blown European 2.0 version - if that's important.

My car's engine bay (current state):




And for comparison only: -what I think an engine bay should look like: the engine of my 1959 TR3A:



Thanks in advance - and have a great weekend!

Looks about right.

Do a search for a thread on "show us your engine". It had some nice pictures when I needed to do my 1.8L.

Just need to keep it neat and organized.

Thank you guys so far; this is interesting too!

You've got some great examples to work from but it will never look as good as that TR3. The 2.0L 914 may be more fun to drive but that TR3 engine bay is nothing short of simple beauty!

Great combination, a TR3 and a 914. Do you have any other old cars you want to show us? We love pictures.

The best engine bay is one with a /6 in it!

Just Installed, not done yet!Click to view attachment

your engine bay looks great would love mine to look like that some day
are those the original/stock clips holding your sound pad? they look longer than mine also anybody know where to source the big round plastic? nut or grommet or whatever that holds the center of the pad to the firewall? mine is missing and the clips are ineffective. I cant keep it up
I read the pelican article about using the 3M adhesive and will probly go that route but would like the center fastener
