Saying hello Options

[mxkinn01]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike from Las Vegas.
Just picked up a 73 1.7 Zambezi green 914. I'll be reading this forum as much as I can and I'm sure asking advice from my fellow teeners.
Hello to all.

After hunting around here and viewing pics of factory 1.7s, I see they just slide into each other. Just needed to loosen the bottom elbow clamp and adjust it until they slide into each other.
I will be getting a hold of 914 Rubber to order a new elbow, door handle and other misc stuff.
Thanks for everyone's responses.

You might be able to fix that booger on the air cleaner opening with the careful use of a heat gun and a wooden spatula or similar to work that crease back out to round. I've had good luck doing that with other plastic parts. But there is a fine line between getting the plastic soft enough to shape, and having a worthless pile of goo. So be careful if you attempt it! It's easiest if you can find a tapered cylinder of some sort the right size to slip in as the plastic softens. Clay flower pots work great for this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
