Had to ramp the pan up to allow a bit of room to strip and repaint the underside today. Lots of fun...not.

Thanks to my mate for installing the new 10mm stainless hard line through the tunnel - turned out very neat!

The line and swage-lock NPT fittings are good for up to 20,000psi (no $hit - they are originally for gas lines)...so they will handle the 3.5psi quite adequately!

I am certainly glad I made the apron removable! Makes life a lot easier.

With the tight fit of the breather box you can see why all those trial fits were necessary! Wouldn't want to find out now that something didn't fit!

The oil pressure sender relocation line from aircooled.net allowed me to mount the sender tucked in next to the shroud for a sano appearance. (as it wouldn't fit due to the oil lines running through the shroud).

Hmmmm...no idea sorry. I bought them off a mate who bought them off ebay (from the US) a while back. Sorry I can't be of more help. [/quote]1966creambug wrote:Hi, which model of 911 are your headlight lenses from? Can you provide their Bosch number for my parts dealer reference? Thanks for help.
never mind. Do they have any part number casted on their face? Please take a look if it won´t bother you...Thanks again...

Same mate who has helped in previous posts tidied up the brake lines for me - he is a perfectionist....so c'mon Alan (same name as me just in case you're confused)...time to get your beetle back on the road! You can see my highly technical steering stop zip-tied on - this is still my stock width beam - narrowed one to be trial fitted when I get my shortened tie rod back from Custom Offroad.
Okay that brings us up to date pretty much. More sound deadener has gone in, carbs are back off, some dash bits in as well. Will update pics soon. Please don't crash again :duh

that photo of the tank came up a treat, looks like an advert for expensive jeans/stereo/coffe or something

I thought that actually....like I have fancy lighting and tricky lenses and stuff. But alas just got lucky with the old 2 megapixel digital camera and natural light. If only I could have some hot chicks from the jeans adds draped over it, that would be nice. Of course I'd just be briefly glancing at them (my wife might check this forum, better be careful). :kissakean1 wrote:that photo of the tank came up a treat, looks like an advert for expensive jeans/stereo/coffe or something

Alan,
If you put it on a trailer unfinished as it is and brought it down to the Nationals, I'd reckon you'd walk away with some silverware.
Looks great.

Here you can see the retractable seat belts (attached to roll cage) and sound deadening applied to the floor pan.
All that guam you can see in the door is wax I sprayed into all the cavities - the stink is just starting to subside. Should do the job well though. :puke

Dash is slowly taking shape - speedo is a km/h unit. Gauges are voltmeter, oil temp and oil pressure. 😎
