Why didn't you call and let me know it was ready? |

Once I get that, I can put together the clutch and then make the starter adapter. Are you going to put a boxster trans in your 914???? |

Yes, I would like to stuff a Boxster trans in the next 914 that I build. Maybe my brothers car once his 901 goes south. Any plans to mass produce or forward things to have someone else make a kit for you ? |

I am spending the day in the garage test fitting clutch parts.
Here are some pictures for you.       There is no clutch disk in it, and we still have to make an adapter to center the pressure plate on the flywheel. That's why there is a gap between the pressure plate and the flywheel. But it is coming along nicely!! |

More pictures.
     First picture looks through the starter hole at the DME sensor. If the sensor fails, just pull the starter and the adapter block. Last picture shows starter fitted. Once I fitted the starter, I realized that the starter adapter was setup before I realized I had to move the flywheel back 13mm. So now I have to make the starter block 13mm longer to move the starter rearward. Tomorrow I will be making starter adapter plates from 6061-T6 aluminum. I have to make 11 to be the correct distance. Stay tuned for further updates. |

Nice work Clay. I was going to give you "the business" about taking so long but I know things take 10x longer when you also play the role of fabricator/engineer. Should be a beast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

An update from today.
Found I had an issue with the starter. Seems the bolt pattern for the starter overlaps the bolt that holds the starter adapter to the trans/motor. So something had to give. I have to use a gear drive starter, so I just made a new mounting plate for the starter with the hole in the correct location for the trans/motor bolt already there. Took me all day to figure that one out. But in the end I spun the engine with the starter, so now I can confirm the starter will work. Next up.. continue turning plate aluminum into multiple starter spacers with a drill press and a hole saw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

I got the pressure plate spacer prototype back from the machinist yesterday. I assembled the whole clutch and put it in the press to verify functionality. I have about 2mm gap between the pressure plate and the clutch disk when it is compressed, and it locks tight when the pressure plate is not compressed.
Some pictures of the clutch assembly for you.     Tonight after work I am going to get it fitted to the motor, and hook up the transmission. Then I get to figure out the size of the spacer for the throwout arm, and the starter block thickness. Development of stuff like this always takes lots of time. I am moving forward, slowly, but forward progress is being made. |

A fully dressed four engine & trans weighs 350lbs.
The 964 engine weighs ~525 fully dressed and the boxter trans weighs ~150 with starter. So +325lbs, +/- for the conversion. *all weights are approximate. |

HP output of the 4.0 engine I have is approximately 425 to 430. So, I am giving up 325 lbs for 300 HP... sounds like a good trade to me! |

Granted, our cars put the weight in the right place and proper suspension setup can make a huge difference. Your car should be an E ticket ride for sure. |
