The Schreiber Build Thread Options

[schreiber]

Greetings all! I guess this will serve as a central introduction/ build/ update thread for my teener. A little about me: I've been a member of the site for a year or so. I'm a full time student, work full time as a networks administrator, and am a member of the Marine Corps reserve.

I hope to take this car back to a factory original look... Not down to the last bolt, but given the choice, I'll probably choose the factory look. I've really enjoyed reading the enthusiasm of Pat Garvey and crew in the 'Originality & History' section.

Finally, the 914 is and will be a learning experience for me. I'll admit I have a lot to learn, but I've enjoyed playing around with it so far.

..Also want to give a shoutout to my neighbor, Scott (SGB). He has a beautiful 914, and has been an inspiration with regards to the car. I can only hope I get mine looking like his some day.

Mine:

Your linkage is all f'ed up, the arms should be 90 degrees from the throttle shaft.
In this pic you're getting closer than the first pic but still not quite right. Flip your arms in the center see if that helps. The cable must be straight and true, any kinks and it won't work right. You will need a light spring on the center pull.

Man that center looks bent.....and how it bolts to the case is cheesy.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That center pivot mount is a pending disaster. You need to make one that mounts on two bolts or it will just tip over. The flat bar cable mount will flex and the hiem joint linkage is crossed up. Also the bolt sticking up on the end of that cable is going to hook onto the heim linkage as it passes over the cable end and hold the throttle open.
