I've been trying to get some 914 time for two weeks but my back is too jacked up to play... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I hear ya loud & clear. I had to visit the chiropractor this passed Thursday, couldn't take the pain any longer.

Had a muscle massage, a session on 'the rack', a spinal adjustment, acupuncture session and two shots in the back. Going back again Monday & Thursday this coming week to do it all over again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Get well, Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Replaced the seatbelts and retractors. I have been cleaning and lubricating the old ones several times but still no good. The new seatbelt came off my old VW Polo. Took a little time to exchange the guide and hook (I'm not sure how the parts on the first photo are called) but they fit perfectly after cutting a dowel (used to orient the retractor vertically) and reversing teh plastic guide on top of the retractor.

The belts have now VW on a label but that's not the only part of the 914 that is showing that. Anyway, since I had to part with my Polo, a very economical way to get new seatbelts in the car.

The covers over the clockspring and locking mechnsiam have a different shape but the overall dimensions are axactly the same.Attached Image Attached ImageAttached Image

Yeah, we got some big turkeys running around this area. They stand about 4' or sometimes more, tall. They have got some girth on them too. I know because I walked out into my backyard and walked right into one. Not sure who was more surprised. He was just walking around my yard. Looked right at me and just kept walking. I opened my gate and let him out and off he went to join his friends in the front yard.

Washed it. Waxed it. Pulled off rear valance and painted it. Took old ash tray and cut a sliver off the front rubber to mount on a cup holder that I picked up in the classifieds. I am so happy with the cup holder as it works great even with a 40 oz cup.

That looks very nice. Who makes those cup holders?

rnellums was making them here on the board. I purchased mine used so I am not sure if he is still making them. I can tell you however that it is a nicely crafted piece of metal.

Yep, stopped by his place this last spring and got a good ride in his yellow monster! Glad to add another 914 to the greater PHX area...

That one was a run of two intended as beta prototypes, The water jetting is fairly expensive, so I didn't want to roll into full production until I got feedback from the users.

I actually have two of the "Stock" styles that I have yet to get into the hands of testers. PM me if interested.

Finally got around to install the euro lens kit I ordered from Germany a while ago...
the aluminium inserts didn't fit straight out of the box but after filing down the edges a tad they fitted perfectly.

also painted the fog light lenses yellow with a duplicolour metalcast rattle can!
One of the lenses I had on the car was cracked so i could do a test run...works great and looks perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16789-1443272610.6.jpg)

added another wobble to the front bumper rubber top instead of straightening it up... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ah well.

fuel pump relocation almost done..what a headache if you only have 2 hands!
anyway...fun day :-)

I've had my Beta for a few weeks, and I like it! Fits very snug and flush when closed. I like the brushed steel look, but might end up painting it black. I can see why some might like the black rubber face plate look, as it would be a totally stock look. Had to secure the mounting bracket since it was loose with the old ash tray, but once that was done, this slid right in as if a factory option.

Now, if the rest of the community wants to improve on this, have at it. I'm thinking I could use a iPhone attachment for phone calls, maybe an iPad attachment for GPS apps. Prolly strong enough for a laptop attachment for movies and work email during those long Silicon Valley commutes, etc. maybe a dinner tray for my DoubleDouble Animal Style from Inn-N-Out. Other ideas?
