Thanks for the ground picture, I think my passenger headlight ground sucks. I have a reference now to make sure it's correct looking/functioning.

FU stuck torsion bar, and FU rusted on brake lines. A long day with little progress. Argh.

Shiny (evidently brake covers were cad plated on -6s, and black on -4s).

I didn't really *need* a new brake reservoir, but the new one look so much nicer...

Why these were painted silver, I have no idea...
And more white overspray was removed. Sometimes this project feels like it's 90% cleaning, 9% looking for parts/tools, 1% assembly. Attached thumbnail(s) |

New [to me] 914 trivia:
I'm pretty sure that early 914 headlight bushings are white, and the later ones are black. I know, fascinating. -Steve Attached thumbnail(s) |

This cleaned up really well. I also got rid of a water line stain on the inside by sloshing some diluted bleach around for a couple minutes.

Why these were painted silver, I have no idea... Probably as a "rebuild"... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |

Is this right? I don't think I've had a car with this part before, I don't exactly remember what it looked like when I took it off.

Yes that is correct. I keeps the engine lid from damaging the rear trunk and vice-versa when they are both opened.

This is a very nice build and, yes, a few of us are jealous, very jealous. You are doing in real life what we dream about doing. What a nice car and a great project.
Bravo!! |

Thanks. The black angle bracket being curved back inwards threw me off a little. I'm not sure why it would do that. Anyways... -Steve |
