The factory did it this way too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Exquisite work. About time someone made these.

Here are Porsche Tools P861 and P862 as shown in the factory manual and tool catalog. More factory chassis fab tools on my Classic website.

I first saw these at the Dutch 914 specialist, he had the doorframes made by someone based on the factory jigs, Later when I purchased all the oem manuals and part catalogs, it also contained a section with these tools. basically my front suspension mounting point jig looks almost exactly like the factory tool too.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Only thing I do not have is a window frame jig, but to build that would be only about 2 days of extra work and a bit of steel.....

Bill,

.....


there is a company in Australia that makes a reversed ring&pinion so you can flip the diff in the Subaru transmission and put it in "Porsche"style. for that setup I would use all subaru driveline, for the simple reason the porsche's is about 10x more expensive and also weighs in 6 times more. Subaru driveline parts are abundant and readily available.

.....

Thanks

Randall



What would yo do with the front dif?(that would have been the rear in the subie) Just run it upside down?

Funny you mention that because somehow when I was browsing the web for info on the 914, and making my mind up wether to buy one or a 911, I ran into pictures of your car and they were the reason I Pulled through on the 914 and ended up here! So basically you contributed bigtime (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yep those discs that have small pieces of sandpaper overlapping eachother. Don't know the brand really, they sell them here at my local hardware store. They work super!

My wife likes to come along but I can't be to enthousiastic in my driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)
I also have an S2000 that we take on holiday to Italy Every year, but when I took the local curved Hill roads a little sporty last year, she got sick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the compliment, I am currently constructing the right door frame jig, after that it's time to coat the complete jig and start removing the fenders.

Been busy collecting some parts and special tools for the fabrication of the tubeframe and some parts for the intended brakes.

Also busy building a rollcage for a friend's car..........so it's pretty crowded in the workshop right now....

More updates soon....

Thanks and best regards

Randall

PS: How is Singapore nowadays, haven't been there in a while. The Brick and Livingroom still there? Orchard Tower?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Today I decided to do some caliper rebuilding, or at least start with it. I bought myself 2 sets of 928 S4 4 pot brembo calipers. I got a good deal on them and fell in love with them just because they have the Porsche logo cast onto the side, whereas the newer ones (993) have it stickered on...

I have one set Pré 1989 and one set post 1989, there is a difference in piston diameter and type of dust seal.

The pré 1989 have 42 and 36mm pistons and these will go on the back with 930 turbo discs 309x28

The post 1989 have 44 and 36mm pistons and they will go onto the front, also with 930 turbo discs (300x32mm)

This will give me plenty of stopping power I gues...

I am literally completely giving these calipers a teardown and rebuild and I will replace every part by a new one....calipers will be powdercoated porsche yellow and I will then machine the porsche logo down to bare aluminium again and then the whole caliper will again be powdercoated in clear.

The only downside is that the rebuild parts are more than double the money of each caliper......but my motto is : do it right the first time:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1292517882.5.jpg)




Then started the teardown and naturally everything is as stuck as can be, not strange since I have the feeling these were never rebuilt before
Bolts wouldn't come loose, so I had to machine of the heads and weld on new bolts so I could get them out in a normal way:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1292517884.10.jpg)


The result: one caliper stripped and ready for a remake:
