I'm the widow of Brent Brock. His 914 probably has an alternator that needs to be repaired or replaced. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy shop/mechanic? I know that he connected with someone in this area, but I don't know the man's name.

I don’t have a local recommendation or know who he may have been in contact with local to Bozeman but want you to know that if you need anything or can’t find a solution over there I’m 6 hours away and will do anything I can do to assist you. Check your messages on this site. I will provide you with my phone number. Phil |

Hi ...I have a long time friend Wade Nelson >> very highly trained air cool tech, transplanted to Idaho 20+ years ago from SoCal. I recommend that you contact him with any questions on your 914 proj. I will provide his tele/text contact in your pM messages if you want.

I'm in LA and probably ZERO help but let's get this done.
I think of Brent frequently as I copied a bunch of his stuff on my car. |

Anyone remember anything about Brent meeting up or finding a couple 914’s locally?
I’ve been searching some old posts but haven’t found it yet. I’ve sent a couple PM’s but haven’t heard anything back. |

Elizabeth,
I followed and conversed with Brent until we lost him, Really miss his enthusiasm for our cars. My son lives in Billings and I visit him frequently from Minneapolis. I probably have a spare alternator I can have rebuilt and bring your way. I will be there for 10 days in a week or so and might be able to come your way and help you. If not I will be in the valley in August and have some free time. There is also a shop west of four corners that I have seen working on older Porsches that might be an option. Looking at a calendar I might be free on July 14. Let me know if I can be of any assistance Jule |
