Brought these to the tire store and held my breath while they mounted the tires. These were expensive, so I watched the tire guys like a hawk.

Can't say that I blame you in the least! The guy that is responsible for mounting your unique wheels may or MAYNOT have a clue with what he is working with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Possible RED FLAG IMhO

Very interesting thread, I'm enjoying following everyone's 914 adventures.

After relocating the brake valve and brake lines, I installed the Rich Johnson Motor Mount and welded it in / then did some light grinding and seam sealed the unit in to assure no seepage of moisture behind the mount. Piece of cake. His products are very user friendly and support is immediate via email or phone. Today is final measurement on oil lines to and from the front cooler.

Then order the AN-12's and SS line and in it goes. Pictures coming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) soon to a theater near you...

Also resealed the tranny and installed the KEP throwout bearing. I hate that little ball-flange behind the throw-out lever / a piece that required either holding the teetering tranny uprignt or a third finger due to the middle one being aimed at the tranny.... This diabolical little nut-festooned pitch fork shaped ball holder was obviously invented by a really sadistic german mechanic who was still wreaked by the USA's saving their collective butts in the 40's............

I have found if you go to the "tuner" style wheel shops they are MUCH more attentive to the care of the wheel then drop outs at discount or Evens tire... It seems counter intuitive when you are standing there in a ghetto shop but they actually care and don't bang out stock wheels/tires all day..

As for the Koul Tool above, you can get just the size you need and not all them. I just got the AN10 size tool.

It does work great if you get the right hose ends- I used Russell, some of the other brands do not work with that tool.

How about Earl's brand? Do their fittings work well with this tool? I already bout the Koul-Tool set for AN 6, 8 and 10. I'll use the 6 for fuel lines and the 10 for lines to the oil cooler.

Interesting. What are you using to cut the lines?

My technique is to wrap the line at the slice point very tightly with friction tape ("Rescue Tape"). I then cut it with a chop saw. If I do that then the ends don't fray and I can usually slide it into the end fine. Usually.

I'm working with all sizes from -4 to -12.
