Well Rick if I could have just convinced you to go suby powered 18 years ago while we crawled thru death valley, you would not have to do all this extra work. But he also wouldn’t have the only 928 powered 914 on the planet. Fact is, Suzy conversions are commonplace. I love the thread! And am really tickled by the idea that Boxster owners don’t wrench. Not sure if I know since I tend to hang around with teeners. Ya, I think as the cars get cheaper and cheaper that will be the next 914 group. But I had to just keep buying parts to see what stuff looked like and take measurements from. I think I will have some stuff to sell by the time I get this thing back on the road. Same with the 928 guys. There were some that had knowledge. I did get some help over time. Hey Scott! I spent the evening drilling out mounting holes in 1/2" 6061. Anyone have a good idea for cutting out the flywheel hole? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I can't remember what I did when I fab'd the last one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have a router but that seems like a very slow method. All the machine shops I met with are 10 weeks + out and look at me like I have 3 heads.

I would cut the hole with a jig saw and then clean it up with a router.

That thing about buying parts rings a bell. When I cannot get something apart I have been known to buy the parts I am trying to remove. Within financial reason of course. That way I can see what I cannot see when the part is installed. But then I end up with too much stuff.

I ended up going over to a local fab shop to see if they could water jet the holes and shape. They quit running their water jet. It was too expensive to run and too high maintenence. They had a couple huge slabs of 1" aluminum. He tried to plasma cut it but I figured that would be a huge fail. It was. But he did sell me a chunk of that plate super cheap! Back to the drawing board.
