Started messing around with the flapper boxes today. It makes me feel like I'm making progress, and I am. I just get a little impatient. I tend to want things yesterday. It drives my wife crazy, but what does she know? I also just received my fuel pump. You know when it has a Porsche symbol on the box, you had better put your knee pads on, because you're going to be driven around the room. I thought about having my existing pumps rebuilt, but I figure you can't go wrong with new. By the way, if someone rebuilds them I have three. Jim.

Here is today's installment of expensive lesson learned. On the left you will see a freshly plated 914/4 stub axle. On the right is a freshly plated 914/6 stub axle. If you are putting a six together, don't confuse the four stub axle with the six. The difference is virtually nothing in value for the four stubs and about 4 to 600 for the six stubs. Provided you can find a set. Notice the serial number on the four stub axle and none on the six stubs. The spline count is also different. I'm sure there are members here who would say that the difference is pretty evident, and it is now. But when I sold the freshly plated six stub axles for almost nothing I didn't know that. Another expensive lesson learned. Tune in regularly and I will point out other expensive lessons. Jim.

Yeah, Jims not near the top of the food chain. Luckily he surrounds himself with smart friends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I mixed up my pictures. The one on the left is for a 911. I thought it would work on a six, but they are not interchangeable. The one on the right is definitely for a six. Carry on.

There are 911 stubs that fit. You just have to find the correct ones. 914-6 stubs have there own part number but there is a 911 stub that's identical with a 911 part number.

That is pretty damn descriptive! Thanks for the reply!

This is my latest post of overpriced NOS parts for a 914. This mirror is not specific to a 914/6 but it is correct for an early 914. Notice how narrow it is. It obviously will fit all years though. Another one of those parts that you have to re-finance your house to get. Or in my case, re-finance my trailer. As some of you can relate, as you progress through your restoration you reach a point that you don't care about the cost anymore you just want the car finished.

Jim sorry for the hijack and probably a dopy question. So out of that table which are the ones that would work with a six? I'm assuming the early stuff, but hey like Jim driveshafts and stubs have always been a bit of a mystery

I think its the 69-71. Maybe 72-75 with longer bolts.

Eric Shea would know for sure.

Jesus....I just went through this whole thread. Absolutely top-notch, beyond comparison work throughout this entire build. This is definitely the bench mark in addition to Andy's car. That's so pretty I would want to put it in my living room to enjoy and keep clean and pretty.

Jim was going to put it in his living room, but we pointed out it would probably fall through the floor of his mobile home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Thanks, Mikey. I appreciate that. One day, very soon, your six will be in the same arena!

Here is a picture of the correct early horn and the correct TN/1 driving light lense. Thanks to Blue6. The horn is the same for a Volkswagen. Notice the slotted screws as opposed to the later riveted cover.

Looking fantastic. I think those rubber plugs are installed back to front.
