On the braided fuel lines, unless you're going for a concours restoration, I'd find some high pressure fuel injection hose that is rated for ethanol. You may also want to look into replacing the tunnel fuel lines as those are likely toast too. When I redid my 914, I ended up replacing the three-port fuel pump with a modern inline Bosch part along with stainless fuel lines in the tunnel. Had to reroute the return line but it wasn't too hard.
Nice progress though. Will be nice when finished!
P.S. Noticed you are in Cleveland. We used to live in Oberlin when I was a kid (my dad was a professor at the college) and forgot how damn cold it is up there  |
Thanks and I agree, It shouldn't be too bad to get the decklid looking right! The shocks are a must
I'll forward that info since it might be the route we go. He actually picked up a fuel pump already but we might have to get creative with the lines. I'm assuming we are going to pull the engine soon to make replacing everything including the tunnel lines that much easier.
Small world!! The cold and snow has definitely caught up to us these last few weeks
