Awesome work as usual. Where did you get those short hoses? The only ones I can find that are brake fluid rated are blue. Would love gray...


Part of the brake supply line kit from PMB.

While I have easy access to the fuse panel, I rewired the fog light switch, so the fogs can come on without headlights.

Following multiple instructions from other 914 Worlders, I disconnected the white/blue wire for the fog relay from the fuse feed #1, and grounded it, disconnected the black/blue wire from the fog switch (and isolated it), and ran a new lead (here, green/white) from the switch to fuse feed #9.

After fun stuff, I went back to cleaning parts. Here are the defroster ducts, mostly free of undercoating an overspray.

Got all the fresh air system components cleaned, and ready to install (I hope). As soon as I have the dash face mounted, I can continue with all the ventilate stuff.

Meanwhile, a few trivial bit, like the plugs for the front nose panel.

Now for some shiny new Hella horns, to replace the originals (with one not working). And the new horns don't have undercoating.

Fit is exactly like the originals. And should be louder.

Then I went down a rabbit hole with the headlight motors. Both ran when tested, but both have broken wires.

I repaired one lead, but there is a small contact widget that allows the armature to spin in one direction only. Is this normal?

The other motor has been opened before, and is missing some hardware that holds the top casting to the case. And this one spins freely in both directions, so I can't unscrew the manual knob.

I think I need to source some replacements.

No, no, no, noooooooo......

After all the trouble you've gone to on this build, you're not going to clean up and rebuild/repair your horns?
Oh the horror.

Not that hard and the undercoating will clean up like a champ.
The non-working horn is likely the "points" inside that are easily cleaned with an emory cloth or some very fine sandpaper (I did this) and some satin black paint.
You'll end up with this.

And they are LOUD horns when working correctly. Ask me. Ha
Mine below.
Just saying and throwing out the gantlet.

Sorry to be SUCH a disappointment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I guess I just wimped out. But the new horns are sexy red. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Wait til you see what I have in mind for the fog lights.

Some other diversions.

I pulled out the aluminum trim again. I did order new pieces for the targa sails, but want to see if I can rescue the window trim strips. I cleaned off the PO black paint.

With all the half-a** work they did, why did they have to be dedicated enough to sand the trim before painting it black?

My plan is to sand out the grooves as much as possible, polish, and seal. And this is just for the outer edges.

And I finally started with the dash. I will replace the vinyl on the top (stock black) and the face (gray perf, to match my new doors and seats).

Just a little bit of metal working done, mostly around the radio opening.

Sorry for the delay, but 914 World will not let me post photos--I keep getting error messages.

If anyone has ideas about how to fix this, please let me know (or nudge whoever can help).

I have made progress, but reporting is still on hold. I need some guidance from the site admins on how to fix my photo posting issue.

Since others are posting it is most likely on your end. Could be your firewalls or something in your history.
I am not tech literate so hopefully someone out there can help.
