And losing progress. It looks like the oil strainer cover plate is leaking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I've been trying to remove the set screw on the knurled nut for two years. Is there something I need to know? reverse thread or some thing? It's sitting in a sandwich bag with oil .

Kevin, I had to drill out the original set screw, and then tap new larger threads. I made my own set screw from a cut-off section of machine screw.

That's what I did. My best guess is that one of the gaskets did not seat properly.

I will have to drain and toss the new oil fill. I guess 4 quarts is cheap to make sure I get this leak stopped.

Another trip to Tucson, and another stop at my favorite (metal) store, Industrial Metal Supply. All kinds of steel and aluminum, including amazing cut-off scrap plate and bar sold by the pound. A true candy store for some of us.

Home again, and the strainer cover continued to leak while I was gone.

There goes 4 new quarts of Valvoline race oil.

And then I could not find my bag of spare gaskets, so have to order some for the strainer cover. Best I could tell, the leak was from the center retaining nut.

While waiting for new gaskets, I got back to the interior. Earlier, I removed and replaced the internal door latch mechanisms, and also rebuilt the door stays. I got another liner kit from 914 Rubber.

Starting on the left door, with adhesive strip attached all around.

Plus the plastic liner. Note that with extreme adhesion of the butyl strip, this is essentially permanent--or at least not reusable.

Then my least favorite part: the retaining spring for the cover of the armrest bin. Last year this took me 20 minutes. This time, I got it on the first try.

Then I did the right door, with basically the same procedure.

The difference is the lower part of the armrest. To install, this slides rearward onto these L-shaped fittings on the bottom of the armrest.
