It was a quickie. Too cold to work outside dropping the front driveshaft on the kid's Cherokee, so it's a good day to do some welding in the garage.Mr. Heater's on!
Wrong side of the Divide! 
Muffler's out and on the bench.
Grinder and wire wheel - check
Mig welder and gas in the bottle - check
Ooh... I need a steel scab plate. I might have to walk out back into the snow.
Brant should be here in an hour or so. I had to turn the heater down to low. It was getting warm!

Scab plate ready, muffler ground clean, I'm all set. Danny's coming over too. Ferg, where are ya? Got your voice mail from yesterday.
Ferg can't make it. Brant just called; He'll be here in 30 minutes or so.
When you all are done, swing by my house with a /6 and put it in for me? 
I have been sick as hell, so all my work must be done from my Lazy-Boy....
See...my wife has been trying to talk me into moving to Denver for a couple years now.......

Danny left about 10 minutes after Brant did. After cleaning up the garage, I went in the house, sat down and watched a little of "The Hustler" while checking email, web forums, etc... for about 45 minutes. And then I was bored. So I put the top on the 914 and went for a joyride up and around Riverdale Rd. about 3 times.
Success!
That hole in my muffler would seem to be the exhaust leak problem that was causing backfires and possibly even the steady state throttle twitch crap. I'll need more drive time even at highway speeds to know for sure if the latter has truly been resolved.
Thanks guys!

Well... they didn't burn down the house. That's a good thing. 
I should have stayed, Riverdale is a great run.
Oh yes, I have a large and twisted sense of humor.....but still only a 1.8 in my engine bay!
Glad to hear it is fixed...wish I could have donned my snowshoes and made it!

did you put the nut on the outer/top/outside bolt? or is it just an optical dilussion?

Hard to tell. Seems like everything on the bottom is covered in black spots..
