Gauge reading--just barely more than original "null" reading.

Finally, some temperature indication.

Now I can swap the new sender for the old one. I guess its time for another oil change. Too bad the car is not on a rotisserie!

I noticed another teaser from my 914: the brake lights were on all the time (with the key on).

Turns out the trigger arm for the brake light switch was under the ring on the piston rod. I guess this happened when I swapped master cylinders.

After draining the oil, I removed the cover to expose the old temp sensor.

And after a bit of fuss, and a dab of sealant, I re-installed the cover and connected the sensor lead.

The original connector for the oil temp lead (under the battery) finally gave up. The next time I have good access with the engine removed, I will replace it properly. For now I made a temporary repair.

I cannot thank you enough for the level of detail and fantastic photography throughout this build! Among the many things I have learned, I have found my most recent question answered.....where does that green wire go???? LOL!

So your pictures show it coming up out of the engine bay and I am assuming it goes through the centre tunnel and up to the gauges!

Happy Easter and thanks for all of your work!!!

Thanks, Grant. Glad you found some of this useful.

The green wire for the oil temp ducks into the harness below the battery, joins the other wires that enters the interior via the "snorkel", and comes out of the harness at the center console. It is the single connector between the doubles in the photo.

The console gauge harness then connects these to the gauges. In my car, the gauge harness wire for the oil temp gauge is white.

Happy to help. The headlights can be a challenge, but you should find some good info around here.

Time to start on the targa top. I should have all the new rubber and hardware I need.

I will have to recycle the old metal strips from the original rear weatherstripping. As many of you know, the short side pieces are bonded to the rubber on the original.

Step 1 is to separate the rubber from the metal.

Then I need to remove the PO black paint. I sure hope these are the last parts I need to restore. For this, I was able to get most of the paint off with my thumb nail.
