Got most of the fresh air system installed this afternoon. Had to take it apart a couple of times, because I initially put it together wrong. Then I saw there's a couple of drawings near the end in the Haynes that shows the connections.
Does anybody have a real close-up of the vent controls, on the dash, of an early car. I can't seem to get the controls to fit right. There's a gap around the little chrome piece and the basket-weave material. Michel Attached image(s) |

Michel,
I have the 8 volumes factory repair manuals covering both the 914/4 and 914/6 I can look if you want and scan the sheet showing the set-up if you want. LMK Steph |

the dash facia material is glued to sheet metal that goes over the black steel . the chrome piece then snaps over.
since you glued the basket weave to the dash , thats how it will look |

Absolutely beautiful !
Is it the car's original color? If you need an extra set of hands to re-assemble the car, I'd be glad to lend my pair. Let me know... Dan |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Hmmnnn, 15x7s and 9s in RSR finishes, old-school racing tires, GT bumpers with painted silver lower sections, vinyl sails, Euro lenses, black lower rockers etc., GT interior... Oh wait, it's YOUR car. I can't wait to see what YOU will do with the most amazing blank canvas I've seen in a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) pete |

Got quite a bit of stuff done over the weekend:
I assembled the brake system, from the fluid reservoir to the hoses at each corner. Here's the master cylinder. Jon Lowe sold the car to me with factory-bent brake lines, which really makes for a neat look: Attached image(s) |
