Installed a spare/cleaned up throttle body. I did the clean up awhile back but finally got around to lubing the shaft, putting loc-tite on the plate screws, and installing a new TPS board I had from 914 rubber. Got everything installed and fired right up. Idle seems better and ran great. Need to do a longer drive to see if there was any improvement my hot idle/stumble situation.

We had a break in the rain, so I got her out for a nice ride.

More important, I picked up some used pallet racking and can see the light for organizing all of my 914 junk, I mean valuable parts.

Found that steering column shaft to turn down and use for the shift console mod. So adding an ear to the console

Car wouldn’t start. Checked the fuel tank and couldn’t see any liquid. I guess I was lucky to drive home. Started right up when I added fuel.

Well heck it is aluminum Can you say uni-bit and a rat tail. Darn, now I have to man up and weld this with a mig. Never welded aluminum before and this is a very important part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Since the stresses on these ears are less, I wonder if I could weld along the back but only half in front to avoid disaster. I marked that in red. Any thoughts on this.

I would think that should be fine. I would use TIG vs MIG though.

I went to the nursing home this morning as I do every morning and the nurse comes in and says to me “I thought after her second test yesterday I wouldn’t see you around. “ “ What test?” Says I. “Didn’t your wife tell you?” “She has covid…” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) My Mrs can’t remember anything, it was as big a surprise to her today as it was yesterday and the day before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) would have been nice of them to tell me, since my wife sees a memory doctor 4 times a week.

Thank you Oscar, I’ll contact you after I’m better.
