Turbo Tie Rods. Paint those front shock towers black. Looks awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I put the fuel tank in, and ran the oil lines through to the front truink area. The latter was a real pain: the lines are AN-20 (at least I think that's what's they're called, they're 1.25 inch OD). I will need to figure something out to keep them from chafing where they go throught he bulkhead. They are armored, though.
I spent all morning trying to get some 90 degree fittings on the end of the lines, to no avail. I'll need to get new ones, I guess.

I also moved back to the engine compartment, where I began the installation of the twin fuel pumps.

I think I read somewhere that the numbers in the AN system are 1/16ths. So AN20 is 20/16=1.25.

Have you thought about using a piece of small diameter rubber hose for your chaffing guard? Cut the length to the circumference and then split it down the length so you can fit it over the edge of the hole.

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no room for a rubber chafing guard. I will need to make a guard out of thin gauge sheet steel. I'm pretty sure I can make everything round and smooth so there won't be a problem. It's just a matter of doing it.

Eric,

I know about the shock towers being black on the /6, but I don't like that look, and I don't think all GT cars were like that. I think I'll stick with what I have there. As for tie rods, maybe later.

Does anybody have a spare thingy that goes at the back of the slot in the doors for the window ? I need the early style.

Michel

Michel,

If you're GTing it... why not move the pumps up front? I had serious vapor lock situations with my -6 with a stock 2.0 and the pumps in that location (sort of in that location).

Just a heads up from real world experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hi Michel, if you're referring to this part but early style, I have some laying around.

That would be more your style anyway. You do great fabrication work.

Eric,

I did'nt think that location would cause vaporloc problems. You may get hotter weather than we do. Then again, moving the pumps to the front may be a good idea. I had'nt really considered it, but maybe I should.

Aaron,

Theoretically, because the fuel pump is one of those single components that can immobilize the car. In reality, because I have a few and it's cool. i.e. very favourable cost to coolness ratio.

Mihai.

It is that part, except the early style, you are correct. Can I come to your house to pick one up ? Do you want to come see the project ?

Cheers.

Michel

Steve, thank you. I don't think my fabrication work is that good, but thanks.

Michel, I'd come down and have a look when you are free. If it's a time sensitive thing you are more than welcome to drop buy after work or something. I'll go find those things right now.

More progress,

Mihai came by and delivered three (!) of the early window guids I was looking for. Have'nt worked on the passenger door yet, but thanks ! Mihai, would you have a spare early handbrake lever ?

Did a lot of work on the front cooler and lines. Went to a hydraulics shop and the gentleman had a bit of time, so we resolved a lot of things. Does'nt quite work yet, but it's getting there.

I did the final securing of the cooler and its shroud, as well as final (or nearly so) intallation of the hard lines under the rockers. Here's the hard oil lines. The finish is POR 15.

And here's how the connection will be made in the footwell. The hose is acutally armored, so I'm not really concerned about getting oil on my legs in an accident. I may still build a shroud over the hose.

Spent the rest of the weekend working on the headlights, and the oil system in the engine compartment. More on that later.,

That was "speachless"

I love the color. I love the look you are going after!!

Great job.

Wish I was there to help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

I recognize quality. I recognize hard work and dedication.

I see all of that + more in your project.

Make sure you take HIGH quality pics of the progress.

They need to be shot in hi-res for magazine use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


Most casual users of this site dont know that we have several magazine guy's here and several 914 specific book writers on the site daily.

Restore/rebuild something nicely and some print work may be in your future if you so choose!
