Going through the parts I removed in 2019, I found only one original screw for the lens. The PO had used a variety of other hardware.

Anyway, one lens in place with one screw looks good to me.

I also got a new tool, an official Porsche ball joint retaining ring wrench.

This socket has tabs that exactly fit the notches in the ring.

Back to my set up with torque wrench and floor jack. This time I was able to get to 25 kg-m without the socket slipping.

And then install a new tab washer.

Other things received: modified CV joints from PMB. These have splines that actually fit the 914-4 shafts.

And I started on installing the relocated fuel pump. This might go under the tank, inside the body shell.

To check for clearance, I lowered the gas tank into place.

There might be space, but this location will probably require removing the tank to access the pump. The other option is within the steering cavity, on the bottom of the body.

One other project started: painting the parts for the headlights. I found a semi-gloss gray Rustoleum spray that is pretty close to original, applied over self-etching primer.

nice you’re able to fix your issue attaching pictures. I do follow your build thread and learning a lot from it. Thanks again!

More work on mounting the fuel pump. I am still not sure where, but I favor under the tank and inside the body cavity. To check for clearance, I made a template to show the position of the bottom of the tank.

Looks like the stock pump mount will fit here.

In the spirit of playing with as many different things as possible, I also pulled out the trim and vinyl for the targa hoop. This lower strip is the new Porsche part, which, like some others have mentioned, has a slightly different curve radius at the rear end. I marked the upper edge with a dry-erase marker.
