I am having trouble installing the rollers for the torsion bars for the rear deck lid. I've seen the pelican parts article but does anybody have picture of the tool to make installation easier.



There is a classic thread on that very subject....

Trunk Torsion Bar Installation.

The wrench idea is credited to Wes Hildreth at H&H in Plano Texas.

Here is my homemade tube notcher. There is a piece of shafting with a linear rail bearing. I am not sure how it will hold up to the rotation so time will tell. Just so happens the vice centers my 1.5" tubing to the hole saw perfectly. The hole saw is replaceable of course.

Bolts down to the table and the vice is slotted so I can get it on any angle.

Case Splitter:
I had a hard time splitting cases. First one was a PITA and the second one just didn't want to part. I was about to order an oil pump case splitter but didn't want to wait to get it.
Inspired from the classic VW oil pump case splitter, I made a short trip to Home Depot an got:
1. One 2 1/2 PVC pipe coupler
2. 3/8x2" bolt
3. 3/8 nut
4. Washer
5. 3/8x1" spacer

Total $3.50

I cut a 1 1/2" slice of the PVC part and then cut a slit into it.
Installed it and voila!
Works like a charm!!

I hate to admit it but I just spent $2.50 too much.
The shortest bolt with nut that holds the case and a small socket are a perfect substitute for the hardware. You'll just need the PVC pipe coupler.

Let's kick it up a notch This isn't 914 specific but it can be used with any Porsche. I always wanted a set of scales for corner balancing but couldn't quite justify ~$1500,00 to buy a set. So I set out last winter to design and build a set. Using Ax-Man surplus store parts and Digikey I came up with this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They're not "gnats-ass" perfect but will do the job. Total investment was about $275.00.




Hey Paul,

I'm running my 914 V8 at open track events and have been adjusting corner-weight with a big lever arm and a bathroom scale. It's a bunch of work and accuracy is uncertain.

So I'm over the moon about your 4-scale system. Can you share what all is involved in reproducing what you have? I'm guessing you're an E.E. and have designed this yourself. Any chance you have a schematic & Parts list?

Thanks,
Terry

a foot long screw driver with the last inch of the tip bent at a 30 degree angle makes a great valve cover remover tool.
