I think Mikey / Mark still has to be set of steel reproduction 914-6 calipers. If you want alloy, you will probably need to find someone who purchased a set and stored away.


Yes, I've already got the 914-6 "reproduction" steel calipers with the spacer for vented discs.
Nice looking but awful heavy.
BTW....somehow my "reproduction" calipers have ATE on them. How's that possible? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Tuesday night Moonlighting ...........
Attached Image

Three and 1/2 hours of straight rosette welding. Round and round.
My MillerMatic 180 is working like dream. Running .023 wire at level 7 on Millermatic mode. Millermatic compensates for all my weird angles and stick out.
Attached Image
Back panel rosettes completed.

Sides have about 1/3 left to go.

Rosettes are finished. Now its time to remove the epoxy from around the edges so I can begin the seam/stitch welding. Rosettes have yet to sanded/ground down.

Spent 3 hours yesterday welding the horizontal seams. One inch at a time.
Attached Image
6" flapper on the back panel. Figuring out how I'm going to finish it.

Attached Image
Surprising how well I got the epoxy removed. Very few spots had impurities pop thru the puddle.

Now that the inner long stiffeners are welded in it's time to start crossing things off the list.
#1. Drill drain hole into new right engine shelf in Hell Hole. Your looking at it upside down on the rotisserie.
Attached Image

#2. Attack rust holes found in the frunk/nose panel brace.
Attached Image

#3. After cutting out the inside and cleaning it with a knotted brush. I found holes on the inside of the fender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Once again, I feel like the bearer of bad news.
Must have been packed with something that would retain moisture at some time.
We'll try hand forming the rounded fender portion. But I might need to create it on the mondo slip roller at Rothsport.
Attached Image

#4. Doug stopped by around noon and dropped of the shift that needs a couple welds.
Attached Image

#5. Then on to the primary project of the day. Rust sections is the frunk seal channel.
This is the section in front of the latch. The front fence section was removed first so I could get down to the lower layer.

Then onto trimming the cowl.
First thing was to pull the window frame off the donor cowl.
Attached Image

Then trimmed the cowl a couple times to get it to fit into its spot. Close, but we have another 1/4" to go.

Perfect timing. I have the very same set of trunk channel rust repairs as near-term to-dos. Lots of pics, please?
