Yep, factory /6 mount..... I started drilling out the spot welds, and will probably do the same on the type 4 mounts

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Mar 28 2011, 07:11 PM) *

use the aftermarket mount and sell the factory one and spend the money on your girl,,,,,,,hell ya.

let me know.




BTW that oil line around the back or the cooler wont work. ao 70-71 911 one will though, even though it is a soft line, and cheep.



Thanks for the heads up on the oil line sixnotfour, it's on the list. As for the mount, I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it. Kinda cool, and now I "match" my Fathers. If I had a girlfriend, I would definitely think about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Did a bit of an emergency thread about the Jwest linkage. I don't know if it's ever been put on a car (a /6) with the original /6 engine mount. I know I've seen it on the aftermarket ones, but not the originals....

I had to take down the 'oval' around the hole where the shift rod comes out, and I'll have to offset the bracket that holds the bushing, but I think we are in business. Instead of just 'chopping up' the oval, I think I did I nice blend....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) and snuck away with my niece/nephew and cousin to the Good Guys Car Show, pretty cool!

The day after the car show (and the reason I missed Route 66) I had a business trip in Ohio to take, which actually turned out quite well because my friends got married!

I've been really lagging on this thread, we've been super busy at work getting a Formula1 type simulator out as well as 'researching' at the Long Beach Grand Prix. We conducted a 'test run' at a Ferrari club event for a veterans organization here in San Diego, The Warrior Foundation, which provides a transition service to veterans coming back from the Middle East. It was alot of work, but it definitely felt good!

Originally, it was a Williams type Formula1, but for this event, we added a bit of red and the charities logo, and it was transformed into an 'American Warrior' Formula1. Each of the sponsors you see on the car bought 'Sponsorship space' and all the proceeds went to the Foundation.

A few Long Beach Grand Prix pictures. Originally, I went with my Father and we where staying with the Ferrari Club and 458 Italia team. Unfortunatly, after the first day he got sick, so my cousin drove up and joined me for the 2 remaining days. What a great weekend!

The team was really accommodating, and we had a great view above turn 8, which is the turn between the 2nd and 3rd longest straight aways! We even got a tour of the pits, team trailer, and staging area. Thats not to say we didnt walk the track about 4 times each day!

My cousin....

Now on to the important things....

Engine bay back to black. I touched up the area I was working on with Rustoleum rubberized undercoating, it's a very close match, and I think after it sets up, you wont be able to tell the difference....

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1304454648.2.jpg)


Now moving on to the engine harness. Anyone have any ideas/prior experience on how to make this as quick/painless/easy/neat as possible? There's ALOT of mismatched wires and butt connectors on this thing.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Ok, so once you open the wiring diagrams, and understand what you're looking at, it's not as hard as it looks. This is my first real experience with wiring, and I'm still rolling confident. Much thanks so far to the Cap'n, SLITS, and Perry Kiehl. Almost done assigning wires, just need to do the alternator and CD Box.

I'm also going through the harness which I have completely stripped, and soldering and shrink tubing ev-ery-thing

Also, I think I'll be adding this Perma-Tune box, which just so happens to also have the original mounting bracket! Opened it up earlier and all the internals look pretty good.

Very nice progress and work. I like that combo-gauge too; I definitely want to do a gauge like that on my car.

OH...is that the cousin getting into 914's? If so, and even if not, we are going to need a lot more pictures of her - she is a cutie.

Hey, if toting her around at 914 events gets more people to come, then I guess it's a necessary evil!

We are trying to have a 'runner' for her for RRC. It's a longshot but still a possibility as she's not doing a full on project, just something that she can clean up.

Alright, so this is where we are at so far with the wiring. Making a 'new alternator harness' that will be included within the engine wiring harness, like a /6....



(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1305210287.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1305210287.2.jpg)




I'll be running these to the alternator, I just need to figure out how to run the blue wire (idiot light) to the #2 pin on the 14-pin connector.

Wired the alternator today. After all is said and done, if you are keeping the relay board on your /6 conversion, this is the correct way to wire the alternator (in laymen terms). I hope this helps anyone trying to do a conversion:

- The Black wire connects to the top 'DF' connector at the top of the Alternator, and goes to the left most connector, as seen in picture 2 and 3.
- The two Red wires (one thick, one medium) connect to the 'B+' connector. The thick Red wires goes to the Starter, which at the Starter connects to the battery. The thin(ner) Red wire goes to the Board as seen in picture 3.
- The Ground wire connects to the 'D-' part with one of the wires going to the board, and the others going to ground on the engine.

Enrique: Please see the thread posted re the two rolling CA chassis, a '70 and a '75 (I think) that are in great condition by Thomas J. Bliznik. I was thinking of the '70 for your cousin unless she is looking for one that is already a driver.
