That's odd. Mine fit just a tad loose but it clipped into that hole okay. Is that the original shelf piece? I had to fold mine back on itself to shorten a bit to accommodate the shorter length for a /4, but other than that, it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)



@bbrock yup it is original.. Strange to say the least.

We found out after that there were 2 sizes, the late with is the majority of the cars is the one we had made. I do have an idea for a solution I'll PM you.

Mine never fit either. But I had cut the original to rebuild the harness. Also I had added the six engine mount, so I blamed myself. The conversion was a ‘72. Seemed like the rubber was better but the snorkel too short.

Spent a little me time last night.. Put 3/8" foam referenced earlier in this thread on the inside of the firewall then put the perlon on.. It turned out nice. Only spots that need to be sucked in are the seat belt retractor pockets. My son wanted to put the seat so did that.. 1st time since owned the car seat was actually bolted in..

I like the back pad upholstery. Ice is almost gone on lake mendota so time to be driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Well spent an hour finishing the engine seal install while I guided my son on Upholstery for the 944. Got the seals in and cut the old snorkel off waiting for the new one to come in. Attached Image

Made some progress.

Stainless brake lines from PMB in, braided stainless lines in, 914rubber m/c in Thanks to @mepstein , stainless fuel lines in, wevo front engine mount in, wire harness in with the second 914 rubber snorkel that came in the mail today. Still not happy with the fit and not sure what I am going to do yet. Also note that I need to tape the wire harness yet with the gaffer tape.

Any thoughts on the snorkel fittment. ??? Anyone? @bbrock ?Attached Image Attached ImageAttached Image

Am I seeing it right that the rubber adapter piece Mark made is separating from the snorkel? If so, what do you suppose would happen if you glued that piece on. Think it would have enough bite in the hole to hold everything in place? Another thought I had was making or buying a metal adapter piece to reduce the hole diameter. Something like like electrical reducing washers. Might even be able to find one the right size already made? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I might cnc plasma cut something but just stinks that the snorkel is for a 31mm hole and the hole on the chassis is 34mm .

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I can't figure out why mine fits okay. Like I said, it was a little loose in the hole, but once I got it positioned, it seems pretty solid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Other than the snorkel, you're car is looking fantastic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I am not sure either. I think because it fits around a stock 6 bulkhead mount so it angles it?

I believe the real answer is that there were different size holes through the years, and the 914rubber guys didn't realize that when they first made this product...

I would just start wrapping the end of the rubber snorkel with black electrical tape until it fits the hole.

Well not much this last week or this week. Made an order with auto Atlanta (1st time in 20 years) and the transaction went flawlessly . @mepstein sent me some of the little brass fittings etc to make the brake line connections (thanks Mark) gonna be in Cleveland all week this week certifying for SMAW.. So next weekend should be some more progress.. Other priorities like son's 944 , house work and other son's baseball will be demanding some time from me along with for some reason there is a big demand on oil tanks right now so busy.
