As recommended, I added some weight to the frunk to balance the weight of the engine and trans.

More part deliveries. Here are M8 studs for the back of the transaxle.

Got out my stud install kit again, and installed each stud with a dab of Loctite.

I then installed the custom bracket that came with my Mcfarland muffler.

I then got sidetracked. My hydraulic press piston stopped returning when I released the pressure valve. The most likely culprit was a broken return spring, so I ordered a replacement from Dake.

Sure enough, the bottom of the spring was broken off. But the upper retaining bolt was also broken in half.

I then spent 30 minutes removing the rest of the broken bolt, mostly by tapping the side with a punch to make it spin lefty-loosey.

OK, all set to rebuild the piston with the new spring, but...the replacement is 2 inches shorter than the original. And I was planning to use the press for the next task today. Gotta improvise to stay on schedule.

I also got bi O-rings to seal the CV joint boot flanges. These are 90 mm ID and 2 mm thick, from McMaster-Carr.

Maybe its me (definitely) but the extra holes in the Type 1 CV boot flanges bother me. In the 914 application, these holes correspond to locating pins, not bolts.

OK, on with assembly. First, to lube all the CV joints with the grease that came in the GKN kits. A slightly messy job.

So, with a new O-ring in the boot flange, and a flattened conical washer I tapped the CV joint onto the axle.

I ended up using the split ring retainer, which fit exactly.
