Jim...the JB weld will work...get the mating surfaces real clean with acetone first....make big fillets, don't worry about looks.......don't glue in the venturi. I like the yellow wheels better too (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) .....the car looks beautiful!

Well, JB Weld it is. Patched it together tonight. Sleeping with my fingers AND legs crosssed.
I'm being punished by Ferdinand's ghost for posting pictures and inviting you guys to take shots. My first mistake was asking my buddies about the side stripes. My wife told me to leave them on. Maybe I'm being punished for not listening to her (as usual). |

Do petrol and JB work okay together. Leave the stripes off. The car looks great as is.

Crap...I dont' believe it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
Let me know if I can help. I'm off on Friday, at your service. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Missed you at the Cart track tonight. Had a great time with Craig, Ken, and few other of Craig's friends. What a blast! We got run a total of 50 minutes in three sessions. 9hp, felt pretty fast. Good driving lesson. I'm feeling racey for this weekend! |

Oh yeah, will JB weld hold gas? It's a pretty good solvent, especially with ultrasonic vibration. Does an engine produce ultrasonic vibration?

JB Weld should work fine once cured. You can get the stripes from Jeff.
Listen to your innerself: its your car, do any and everything you want to it. Mostly, have fun with it. Oh yes, always listen to your wife......well maybe not always, mine thinks Miatas are cuter than 914s, and don't I want one of them? How do you politely say: HELL NO! |

You guys went karting and didn't invite me...man, I need to get on the Portland cool guy list.
I finally got my lug bolts from Bill so I can mount my AX tires, however I snapped the roll pin in my pedal cluster so I got to drive home from work to other day without a clutch. I picked up a new roll pin today and will install it tomorrow along with the heater. Who knows, maybe I will make it out to play this weekend. -Britain |

I saw that car on copart.com way back when. It was a victim of the Pittsburgh flood.
Good job bringing it back to life! BTW I will put my vote in for the neg stripe too. |

Jesus! I'd be beat to hell after 50 minutes of karting!! Then again, I keep trying to muscle the car around, so my arms get very sore... That reminds me, I have a "deal" for Tuesdays at GKR... I may just head up there next week... --DD |

Well, here's the patch......surgical it ain't. Solid enough that it accepted the set screw, snugged tight by hand. Don't laugh at the "daisy chain" wiring job. The screw is wired to the broken piece. If the piece comes out I want to be able to find it hanging there. Haven't done a road test yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry so I can get it good and warm before re-tuning the carbs. If I get to that point I should be good to go. Suspect I won't have any trouble knowing if it falls out!

Looks like I'm good to play golf tomorrow?
Geeez, hope that works. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Can it be welded (real welding) after that JB is done? |

Don't think you can weld pot metal. I am optimistic. The stuff is very hard. They claim it can be drilled.

Silly me, I thought they were made of aluminum.
Craig, you missed my lecture after the last heat.....I was working one of the guys to pass right in front of the waiting area and someone taged me from behind, the guy I was passing pinched me into the wall, I was off the racing line to pass......and I ended up in the wall. Then got the lecture for aggressive driving. I'll bring my driving shoes and gloves next time........watch out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/calvin.gif) |

It does. Going to find a painted steel or fiberglass bumper and paint it yellow. Get an LE air dam. The snow plow does have functional brake cooling ducts. Maybe I can vent through the horn grills.
Going back the the stripes too. Jeff Bowlsby is helping me out there. The car was born an LE and even though heavily modified I want it to be a "Bumble Bee". |
