Then I marked off with tape where the edge of the vinyl should go.

just want to check if you know late 914 has the fuel pump on the other side with where your test fit now is. It has access hole for 75 and 76 year.
Other member also install the fuel pump by the steering rack where you can access it by just removing the under pan cover.

Nice work again on your build!

I want to relocate the pump on 'HOWARD' to up front when it's time to dig deep into the refurbishment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

More work on the fuel pump mounting. To free the pump from the clamp and allow removing via the round hole (I hope) I drilled a small hole so a screw driver can loosen the clamp bolt from below.

While waiting for touch-up paint on the new holes to dry, I played a bit with the headlight carriers.

Not sure about this. The inside pivot looks high, even at the limit of adjustment on both sides. Is this right?

Tail light day.

Yesterday I finished de-corroding the replacement housing I got for the left side, especially the bulb contacts. And then I sprayed the reflectors with chrome paint.

Both housings ready. Not perfect but pretty good. I need to find the side diffusor insert for the right side.

I hope to keep at least some water out, so I got replacement gaskets from 914 Rubber. The lens gasket is an O-section, similar in size and firmness to the original, but black instead of white.

The gasket for the housing is actually a foam layer with adhesive. I mounted this around the body opening. My hand-formed opening is not perfect, so this helps fill the gaps.

Also OK from the side. I expect the foam gasket will collapse a bit more with time.
