Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....

Sorry to lower the tone but this shows how fashion changes! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/13/7cdc6578123fddacf03776062a7c7fb3.jpg Continuing the Italvolanti theme...one from my stash.

Yes indeed. Lucky shot. Had one at night too though unfortunately a fence post ended up in the way...

Re: Strut conversion for rear boot lid

Here's a few from mine - apologies for the delay to those that requested pictures. I agree that 350 is a bit too powerful, and would select 300s next time around. http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj556/dcw7095/914/Strut3_zpsryi0gyux.jpg http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj556/dcw7095/914/Strut2...

Re: Rebuild update

Andrew, your car is looking great. Love the paint. My targa seal was from 914 Rubber too. It fitted fine though at the central point I need to be careful that the top locates properly as it comes adrift quite easily... Rear glass seal was a 3M item that I had from Auto Atlanta. Needed to be heated u...

Re: Strut conversion for rear boot lid

I fitted my own. Used SGS Engineering who supplied me with pretty much everything I needed. I decided to mount the struts to the hinge bracket itself which in turn means that you need to cut away a small area of the bulkhead top that the rubber trim fits to, in order to allow clearance. Took a coupl...

Re: Stanford Hall May 1st ***914 Display***

Not heard back from Kevin yet. I have a mate who has recently acquired the yellow Arie Luyendyk 914 and was interested in bringing it to Stanford subject to a display ticket. Is there any confirmation on final numbers / availability? I am already on the list in mine so worst case he can come down wi...

Replacement Dashtop

Finally got my new dash top fitted this weekend. Ordered from 914Rubber last November but due to various quality issues with the first batch only took delivery earlier this month. Worth the wait though. New dash seems to be made from a rubberised moulding with the original vinyl pattern nicely repro...

Re: It's all black and white

That looks nice. Noticed the tow loop on the front, has it been used on track / warmed over?

Re: Winter jobs on my 914

Steve Jones at Woodypeck gets a good name amongst the 928 boys. Seen a number of cars with his lamp conversions. Quite impressed.

Re: RHD 914

Excellent job Steve. Looks like the DVLA have assigned a related range of number plates (my '75 1.8 is KND 254N, also green).
