Requesting help reassembling luggage compartment
Finally completed replacing the front suspension pan, lateral support and gas tank support on my 1973.5 911 T Targa but I am now in desperate need of info and advice on putting the luggage compartment back together. I bought this project car from an owner who initially wanted to do the suspension pan work himself but soon realized he was in way over his head. Unfortunately, when he tore apart the compartment he neglected to tag electrical cables, vapor recovery lines, gas lines carbon canister location, fuse box location etc. etc.
What would be helpful to me are any detailed pictures of a luggage compartment both with and without carpeting, showing the routing and location of the above items. All I have now is a mass of tubing and electrical "spaghetti" thanks |

This might help get you started:
In this picture, you can see the large wiring harness that comes from the fuse blocks (loose wires), the main cable for the battery +, and the route the harness takes back towards the cowl. Below that, you can see the battery cable that connects the passenger side battery, routed behind the gas tank (removed). You can also see the brackets for installing the fuse blocks and the holes for the horn relay, running vertically. (Sorry, the shield on this site won't let me post the picture. You can click on the link below, and scroll down until you come across the picture. The body color is yellow and shows the battery box area. https://www.google.com/search?q=1973+porsche+911+fuel+tank&biw=1366&bih=634&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiN9K6pstTJAhUG62MKHUpnAEQQ_AUIBygC#tbm= isch&q=1973+porsche+911+battery+box Here is a similar picture, but without some of the cables mentioned. ![]() In this picture, you can see the fuse boxes installed, along with the horn relay and the battery. The harness going forward is for the windshield washer motor. ![]() The charcoal canister would be located just in front of the battery--between the battery and the gas tank. You can see one of the hoses for the evaporation system disconnected from the metal tube that exits the fender. Generally, the evap hoses follow the course of the main harness, up to a collector box under the cowl, and down to the exit tube you see. The hoses for the charcoal canister are not shown and are routed behind/under the gas tank, through the center tunnel, and to the engine shroud and air box. I'll see if I can find some pictures of that.
