Way back Machine Have to weld up those trick rear backing plates. For some reason on 914's they are prone to fatigue cracks. This stuff is really thin. I measured it at 25 gauge at the thinnest area. My Miller 180 was turned down to under 1. About as low as it would go. I'm not even going to use these on my car with the 911 rear parking brake mod. Maybe someone here will end up with them? You never know? I might throw them in with the lot of parts going to the powder coater and then offer them up. Jeff...what did those backing plate come off??....Thanks...John |

I usually don't buy tools or equipment from HF other than disposables (nitrile gloves etc).
A couple of weeks ago I stopped in for a tent sale and picked up a "Scratch and Dent" welder cart. For a whopping $39.99 I nabbed the double wall cart with drawers. Its actually built pretty solid. It was missing the cable management hooks on one side but other than that I still can't find the scratch or the dent. Attached thumbnail(s) |

A couple hours later and a little re-paint, clearcoat, a call to my Miller rep for some decals and now a decent matching cart.

It even matches the blue tarp that's covering your car. Do we get to see what's underneath soon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I use it as a tent when I media blast small areas. Keeps the little meteors from getting all over the place. Everything falls to the floor. Sweep, sift and reload. |

Way cool. I was going to build one or buy a used pit cart but space is the final frontier.

Jeff, what color and who's product did you use for the green on your struts. Mine is original, faded and looks like crap.
And nice redo on the Harbor Freight Cabinet. If I payed $40 for the cart I would buy it also. Their tool chest seem to be the one thing they tend to over build. I have seen tons of people use their cabinets for the bases of benches, etc.. |

I did not realize how long its been since my last post. See what happens when you get to 50? Time flys when you're having fun.

Mocked up the inner and outer firewalls to see how everything fits. No welds just loose. Any words of wisdom when it comes to installing the complete lower engine side firewall still having both heater tubes in place. Seems like the standard practice is cutting it in half. But I was hoping there is a more sanitary approach. The tubes really hinder your ability to get it into place. My first thought is to make some cuts in the flange so I have the ability to bend the field portion. ???? |
