Home by lunchtime, I'll have you know. Nothing was seized, rounded off or gummed up. Phew!jwhillracer wrote:Finished and home by 10.06pm - not bad!KS wrote:Set the venting clearance on the rear brake calipers on the 914...![]()

Fitted my new gear knob properly so it doesn't move when shifting quickly, solid as a rock now.

Started to clean some bits to complete my heating system. Sprayed with brake cleaner and leaving overnight. I will use a wire brush on them again but I was thinking of putting them in the dishwasher??

Bled the brakes - actually have a brake pedal now, rather than a mushy thing between the clutch and throttle pedals...
