Well, I am on a deadline now with the first kid showing up this summer but I am finally starting to make some progress. I got all my parts back from the powdercoaters and the platers (gold zinc) as well as a set of Mueller's rollerbearings and I started the transmission assembly. Check out the pics:
915 Transmission Rebuild (Thanks Hayden @ WEVO). I am also getting a one piece bearing retainer, WEVO gate-shift, and 1st gear assymetrical update: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Transmission/images/170_0019_JPG.jpg) Here are all the gold zinc plated parts: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/171_0001_JPG.jpg) I have been waiting for a good day to take some pictures of the powdercoated parts in the sun, but it has been overcast. The color is called steel grey metallic and has a clear coat on it: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/170_0028_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/170_0034_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/170_0038_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/169_0025_JPG.jpg) I also installed a set of Mueller's rollerbearings. Only need a little phone support from Mike (Thanks Mike (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) ) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/170_0036_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Powdercoating/images/170_0037_JPG.jpg) Here are the rear control arms with the bearings installed (don't tell the wife I had them in the oven). I also installed the mono-balls from Smart Racing and starting putting the e-brake assembly back together: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Suspension/images/171_0003_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Suspension/images/171_0005_JPG.jpg) How is this for the ultimate pedal assembly? Bronze bushings, powdercoated, and zinc plated. Looks awesome: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Assembly/images/171_0007_JPG.jpg) (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Assembly/images/171_0010_JPG.jpg) Here is the money shot, I think the color looks awesome: (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Assembly/images/171_0011_JPG.jpg) Next steps: 1. Install the suspension. 2. Plumb up the brakes. 3. Finish the turbo piping 4. Get it together!! -Britain |

Yep, those are the e-brakes. I couldn't find any diagrams anywhere that clearly showed how to put these back together...it was fun to say the least. -Britain |
