Finalising bits of wiring...
 Working lights and flashing indicators...  Warning lights etc all in order ! Original idea of using toggle switches has been ditched in favour of using rebuilt original stalks and switches, looks so much better and cleaner...  Chris |

Lunchtime tinkering...
So where does this go ?  Its a Spring hatch mechanism, re-used to hold the Decklid open...    Hands-up, I cannot take the glory for this solution. I shamelessly stole the idea from Mike (ibmiked) on Early S Registry. Mike had made a video of his installation which shows the function perfectly, simple effective Engineering at its very best: 911R Prop - YouTube Cheers Chris |

Wiper works.....Ignore the Cardboard blade. I didn't want the metal arm flying off during the first try, sweep and coverage looks good though.

Oil tank ( repaired! ) turned out to still have afew leaks, so I bit the bullet and got a brand new one...
Surface bulge toward the bottom is not 100% as original, but it is very minor and I am very happy with it...    Correct Bayonet Cap fitting...  Chris |

I am also fitting this hidden under the dash. It will connect up to the original demist vents. Hopefully it will arrive this week, along with the hose and fittings:

Last little bits coming together now...I hope !
Couldn't resist some pictures in the afternoon sun, which also gave the opportunity to clean the garage floor from Oil and Brake fluid.....then I am in the Lap of Gods (and the TÜV).    Cheers Chris |

Heated windscreen fitted, and wired up.......still can't feel thumbs !
  and a small tweak was to add retaining tabs on the Headlight rims. I didn't want to fit them, but I just couldn't get the rim to fit well onto the Fibreglass lip.....but now they are fitted, I quite like the detail  Cheers Chris |
