That sounds different Richard.

I had so much fun replacing the center vent I decided to have even more fun. First I replaced a lot of the fuses on the fuse panel. All the old plastic fuses are gone, and only ceramic fuses remain. All the 25 amp fuses are new, and most of the 16 amp fuses.

Then I tackled another project that has needed doing for several years. The high pressure headlight washer pump has not worked very well and leaked like a sieve if it was used. I try to avoid driving in the rain, but I will when necessary. Last year going to Porsche Palooza it rained the entire way from my house to the hotel in Eureka Springs. I tried to use them a few times and they did little. So I had a new pump on hand and just been procrastinating doing the replacement.

Once again folks in the tech forum say it is a piece of cake. I will never eat cake at their house. The 2 gallon tank of washer fluid has to come out and the high pressure pump is sort stuck in place with rubber buggy bumpers and friction. The tank has a huge metal band to hold it steady, and bolt through the top. That bolt on the top also holds the evaporation filter for the gas tank as a separate tank. All of it is crammed up inside the front fender on the left. So a few easy steps, and then try yea, just go ahead and try to pull the hose from the pump to the headlight washers. The hose has turned to not very flexible stuff since 1985. No doubt, no one has ever been in there before. The clamps are almost impossible to get to. I had endeavored to preserve and got the dang thing apart. I had about a gallon of blue washer fluid I had to drain out.

Getting it all back together is lotsa fun. The most fun part of all, is getting the little 10 mm bolt back into position and holding the top of the washer tank, and the bottom of the gas fumes canister. The two tanks share that bolt, and the gas vapor canister has to go in place first, then align the washer tank, and get the bolt to run through both tanks mounting brackets, and into the fender bracket. That is no fun at all.

I am soooooo glad I don't do that type of stuff for a living. I would have to charge 1000 bucks plus parts to do the washer replacement.
