Very interested. What is the best way to figure out exact location to cut hood? Is there a template or is it better to cut specifically to where your tank/hood are located in relation to each other?



Well john , no template but I can post some ruff messurements to point you in a direction ,
but we can not make a template due to the bonnet and tank can be a few mm off in messurement on every car
so it requiers some messuring , I can tell how we did
we removed the expansion tank on top of the tank by unscrewing the 8 bolts
we tape the fuel opening with papper tape
we marked a cross on the center of the fuel openning
then we drilled a small hole 20 mm or so ,as closed to the center mark as we could predict
and when we saw we are close to center we did the hole larger and larger step by step
hope it gives an idea

Marek

That makes sense. Start with a small hole and go larger to center the opening, not the other way around! How long to ship to California?

FOR ME...I like the last image of Post #1...weld in trim piece.

Is this piece included in complete 914 kit?

IMHO I don't care for fastened trim ring.

I'm with Oscar. I like it simple
But still ......a big 'Thank you' to Marek for such a beautiful, well conceived,
excellent product.

long time back, Martin Baker was making & selling these & i think he can provide template - might be worth a shout to him - his Sunoco tribute has it & it would be easy to copy the pattern off the hood

@Marek : are there any unwanted consequences to removing the expansion tank? Others please feel free to chime in if you know the answers.

Would be great to have a pic where you see more of the car when it is mounted.
Is it available in a lockable version?
Is that a standard EPDM-gasket?

I am also wondering about what to do about the expansion tank and locating a template for the hood.
