Here we are 4 years later down the road, Grady long time gone but much of his knowledge is still with us.
Maybe it is time to finish this car now, I just put her on the lift trying to get her on the road this coming spring.
Right now I am a little stuck with hardware for drive axles, this being a 1968 911 would it be correct to use the 8x45 mm or 8x48 mm bolts? I am using a set of EMPI axles for now but will try to get better axles when the car is running and "shakedown" is completed. The axles flange will comsume about 34 mm of the bolt.
Did the 1968 have tabs for the bolts (#21, one tab for two bolts) eg 3 tabs on each side?
I have attached a figure of the axle from the parts book but read both that they have and they do not have these tabs? I also read that the SWB did not use gaskets but I may squeeze a minimal amount of blue hylomar on them.
I am going to use the original oil system at first but modify the 993 oil tank I have and use it a little later on. The 993 tank fit nicely and I will weld or bolt on tabs to secure the tank in position.
I have attached the circulation diagram that is correct with my tank and also an idea about how I should modify the tank. I am not using a front cooler, not needed over here.
Would it be correct to assume that I should plug everything but the return, feed, breather and small ventilation (at top)?
I will have filler neck welded/brazed in top of the tank so that I can use the hole in the fender.
