I also started to mock up the lines on the engine, connecting supply to left injector rail, left rail to right rail, and right rail to pressure regulator.

I decided to double-clamp all the connections--probably overkill, but who wants fuel loose in the engine compartment?
I also used some plastic tubing to protect the lines from the retaining clamp edges. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Last bit today: sealing the fittings in the injector rails with some #3, careful not to get any on the internal ends.

I have Dub Shop injection and spark kit on my 912 (modified original 616 motor) and it's top notch. Mario is a great guy, too.

I'm slowly going through this thread from the start and marveling at the work you've done. How did I miss this ? Page by page it gets better and better. I feel I should apologize for failing to compliment you for all the varied, complicated and time consuming jobs you've done....with no complaint or regret. Unbelievable ! Bob, you've set the bar. Well done. |

As for complaining, check with my wife. |

Here it is from the back.
Answer: California Motor Sports, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Home of the Porsche transaxle rebuild. Mine needed a bunch of replacement parts, including a new intermediate plate. They CNC machine these onsite. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Here's my like-new box, strapped into my son's GTI for the trip to Tucson. Next week I will get it home, and get on with installation.

Arrived home with the transaxle. I unpacked some of the things in the car, but will have to finish the job tomorrow. I want to get the engine and trans in the car before my son comes to visit at the end of December. Time to get busy.
