Back home again, and back to work on the 914. A few things arrived while I was gone, including a cigarette lighter to replace the one I can't find.

I also made a new set screw for the odometer reset knob. The original hole in the know was stripped out. I had a length of M4 stud with a screw groove in one end.

I drilled a larger hole in the knob and got out my metric taps.

Next up: installing the gauges and connecting the last bits of wiring harness. Here is the gauge panel, with satin black powder coating.

Another critical part of the 914 "look".

More new stuff: LED light bulbs. I plan to replace all possible original bulbs. I did order the wrong bulbs for the instruments, so have to try again (and wait).

Time to get going on the motor. First, I needed holes in my new Type 4 yoke. A good job for my big drill press.

This is the heftiest job I have tried so far with the press--not any problem at all.
