Workshop Day at the Red Barn: Saturday, April 9, Get some work done or just hang out! Options

[tygaboy]

Hi World - It's been a minute since we last had a Red Barn Workshop so I figured it's time!
- Saturday, April 9, rain or shine

As you enter our lane and pass the first house, WATCH OUT FOR THE SPEED BUMP!!

914 World has done so much for me, this is my small way of trying to pay back this wonderful community.

Feel free to arrive any time after 7:00 AM. I'm OK going until 5:00 PM or so, longer if needed. I will PM my address and contact info to confirmed and tentative attendees.

I'm happy to help you with whatever I can. Maybe you need a part welded, maybe you have a custom bracket you'd like fabricated, maybe you're @Krieger and we can finally make your hood vent, Andy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

There are no $ charges for anything. My tools are you're tools. If you have a 2D part that I could draw up and cut on the plama table, this is your chance!
Need some welding done? (Be reasonable, please.) We can make it happen!

If you plan to use tools or make something, please PM me and let me know some details so I can be prepared. Particularly if you need any CAD work done. I'd like to have that ready to go when you get here.

Now, if you're just looking to hang with some like-minded folks and check out some cool cars, that's perfect, too. Come on over! And I'm betting there will be a sighting of Bill's Speedster!

There's a great BBQ place right around the corner so lunch is close - and delicious.

To get you in the mood, here are links to previous Workshops:

A remarkable Wrench O Ramma at the Big Red Barn. So many amazing cars each with their own unique story.
The gathering came at the perfect time ad honestly saved my spirit. Having just taken delivery on a "new" 914-6 the day before I showed up from the other side of town a bit shaken. I knew the car needed some additional tuning. But the very loose front rotor/ hub I hadn't planned for. The enormous pit crew jumped right in, tuning carbs and getting the front of the car off the ground at the same time. I felt like Ricky Bobby on race day!!! I can't say enough kind and grateful words about all of you. You're a great tribe that I'm lucky to be surrounded by.

Update- looks as if a there's mismatch of the length of the spindle and the depth of the hub/ rotor combination. I can't tighten the spindle nut enough for the back of the spindle washer to contact the outer face of the outer bearing. The washer hits the part of the spindle where the inner threads ends and the first wider taper begins. It just needs another 1-2 mm tightening but the washer bottoms out at that taper. Strut is koni type. Labeled 911 34107 from what i can tell. Not sure if the depth of the rotor is too shallow, the hub too shallow or the bearing should be thicker to take up more distance on the spindle. Something is off. More to follow.


Hope to see you'll all soon.
Cheers to you Chris for bringing us all together.
