Are you missing the gasket between the CV joint and the transmission hub? 914.332.237.01.

Karl, Yes there is a gasket , its black not green so hard to see there, but there is a gasket. Got it torqued down , this must have worked loose on my last drive to C&C so caught it early , wasnt even that much grease slung too badly , not enought to want to repack them. I will get the bolts safety wired before driving again. That was lazy on my part on last install. It will be done, Phil. |

QUOTE(Shivers @ Aug 9 2023, 10:26 AM) @Shivers Thanks! that was a fun dayfor sure, BTW great picture! I like the rack but need to come up with a different way to mount it on the rear trunk the brackets are not the right angle and are made for a roof drip rail like on a 911, but for now i actually have thesuction cups from a bike rack bolted on, workse great but not classic looking.

I’ve been dreaming about their classic trunk rack. nice find, that might be the way to go for you. If i had not already bought my Leitz rack that would be a way to go too. Originally i was going to see if i could mount the leitz rack to the ski rack but measurements are wrong and no way to really easily mount it. If i had a way to do some fabrication id make my own . I dont want to drill any holes in the trunk , but if the Leitz arms could be modified to grab onto the edgs of the trunk that would be perfect. for now if i want to use it i can use the suction cups. |

Phil Hey Phil, that looks great and I'm not busting your chops but the next time you safety wire those bolts do it in a fashion that the wire limits the bolts travel so that it can only turn clockwise. About 35 years ago an old WW2 A&P chewed my ass out for that. Not as critical in automotive applications but.....You can also reuse those Schoor washers since the bolts are safety wired.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) you are right, i did the other one correctly but that one should have gone into the bolt on the other side so that if the lower one did loosen as it spins counter clockwise it would tighten, this would keep it from coming out completely but it could do a half turn. i realized that after it was done lol. but the other one on that side and the side are correct. Good eye and i can always appreciate some constructive criticism!!! So now the next thing i do has to be putting new engine lid brackets on. my original ones are cracked and the right one is really flexing bad!!! i have to find a welder that won’t charge me an arm and a leg! |

the new J-west Fuse board was a must i had a short in the old one- melting parts lol, the extra relays seen , one is for thr 911 windshield washer pump, and the Hella driving lights.
inside of the old Egman board, the last 3 are connected together, it was shorting out, had some melted plastic in there, and i was loosing for lights ans dash lights as it would short out while driving!!! , well since new board was installed that is no more!! Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Shivers @ Oct 4 2023, 10:02 AM) BLING!!! So sick, nice work @Shivers the new door hinge parts came from member @yeahmag !! i have the other parts with new rollers from 914rubber. lots of stuff i did when i first got the car i am now finding after 10 years need to be done again, like some of the seals. Some parts were not available 10 or even 4 years ago following repaint, or i couldn't afford all of it and it wasn't necessary. , but as stuff comes up or becomes available ill get it done. i cant stand having crap done part ways! its great that we have so many members that are supplying parts and service for our cars. so many classics dont have those resources! .

Dr Phil -
Maybe a stupid question: as the 914 is far from an aircraft, are the safety wires really needed? Not a bit of overkill? Nice touch for sure on a Concours level car like yours for sure.....
