It's not pretty but it is strong





Umm as a professional welder/fabricator I will pose the question how do you know that’s strong?


Maybe I should have said it is more than strong enough for the job it will be doing...But I did try to break it off, it is not budging. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Guy said the aluminum cast from those days is crap, full of impurities and oils and it was hard to weld. Had to have recieved good penitration, I had to sand the console to flatten out the cast where it raised from the weld. Yeah it's ugly but it's on there

Actually plenty of clearance but would prefer the posts reversed

I'm sure the angle makes it look closer than it is - reversed posts would be ideal - nice work.

I removed my driver's side door panel today and repaired the door handle (replaced all broken plastic bits) and removed and lubed the latch mechanism. Then I drove her for about 2 hours to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Tomorrow I need to replace the broken horn button ring and faulty wiper switch.

So many projects, so little time.

I’m using a steering column shaft to finish the console but it has to be turned down and a cone screw hole put in and the trans portion will be done. So off to find the cheapest machinist in the Coachella Valley. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

going to be doing the same and pulling the door card this afternoon so i can repair the latch mechanism, as soon as my package of small repair parts arrives from 914rubber, the cam actuator thing that slides and unlatches the door when you pull the outer handle snapped off last week while in Amelia making it necessary to use inner handle only for opening door. That was supposed to arrive yesterday. So full out rainy day meant cancellation of our C&C for this month.

Two new Yokohama tires on rear. Two of the Riken Raptors had developed flat spots during my 2 years off the road & NTB (Mavis) replaced them under Road Hazard guarantee for very little - they did have 3,000 miles on them and were 3 years old.

Nice smooth ride but still vibration showing at 50 - 60mph that I need to chase down.

Still loving driving my Ruby as my daily driver......

Oh - new carpet going in next week - one of last items on my restoration list.

Nice Jeff! I bet that twin plug 2.7 will be a sweet engine.

My 2.7 has 964 cam caps and valve covers. Looks like it should have twin plugs and doesn't. Wonder what it would take to make the conversion?

I’ve been searching for a bellow dust boot that would work for my project. I needed one that would fit the reproduction dust cover for the shift console, it needed to be big enough to fit over the 914 steering system u-joints and on the other end small enough to fit the shift rod. And not so darn long it looks funny. Universal Steering Rack Boot
