Mike,
The photos taken before disassembly when contrasted with the car as it is now are very revealing. I am really enjoying watching the car go back together.
Hi Brett
Yes the before picture really telling the story now..its amazing whats under all that dirt=)
The project is getting fun!
Amazing video. Thanks.
Thank you Paul!
yes
=)
Great work, I'm watching all your videos!
Hey Garage time
Some great tips you are providing!
Thanks for tuning in and good luck with you Porsche Channel!
Mike M Thanks Mike. I can't wait to get to the assembly phase like you. Your work is superb!
Good progress Mike!
Thanks Feeesh..slowing getting there piece by piece!
Fantastic and inspirational, as always!!!
Thank you Rob!
Amazing to see those before and after photos. The undercarriage looks almost too nice to put on the road...haha. Also, loved the new video edit styling, great job.
Hi Derek
Thanks! Yes those old pictures are quite a contrast.
Its going to be difficult to keep her this clean once shes back on the road..Maybe I will bring her into the living room and use for decoration=)
My OCD will definitely be struggling!
Something I’ve done before mike with the pedal box is cut a rubber gasket backer from an old rubber floor mat to prevent vibration. Just a little cleaner than seam sealer
Hi Kitts
Thats a great tip!
Thanks for sharing=)
Wonderful Mike thanks very much. I need to replace my pedal box so that was a lot of fun for me to watch.
Hi Gary
You're welcome! I hope it will be of some help=)
Thanks. Couldn’t figure out how to take off the outer hard and flexible lines on my ‘73 914 due to undercoat and crud.
Hopefully this helps ..73 914 what a cool car!!
Just so you know I live vicariously through your videos :-)
Hello Aaron
Thank you for the compliment!=)
You mention "red rubber grease" at 3:45. I have seen it used on seals, but why on the threads? Is it different than high-temp wheel bearing grease? Thanks for taking time to create and share your videos.
Hello Dennis
The purpose of the grease is to prevent galling on the threads, should any of the lubricant make its way into the lines the rubber grease is mineral based and will break down and not interfere with the fluid. its just a small precaution
Cheers!
Fantastic once again Mike. Always excited to see one of your great videos! What did you use for the brake line insulators? Did you make your own? And what did you use to cover the bendable metal tabs that hold the wiring harness in place? Most of mine are shot or missing!
Hi Andrew
Great question! I'm using 1/8 rubber vacuum line cut in small pieces for the brake lines and use
electrical shrink tubing for the bendable tabs. The factory used vinyl tubing but not all the tabs were covered
The shrink tubing works pretty good and give a bit cleaner and tighter look
Thanks Mike! I'll do the same, what you did looks great and works well by the looks of it.
Good job!!!
Thanks Bruno=)
Awesome job! How was it installing the main brake line through the tunnel? I need to do this on mine soon. I'm thinking the hardest part would be removing the transmission support to get access to where it exits the back.
Thanks
It actually wasn't too bad but keep in mind the car is on a rotisserie and engine out of the way.
Im sure its doable with engine in but probably have to navigate around some things
Good Luck!
Mike, where did you get your replacement brake line set?
Are those Nickel copper lines?
Yes they are cunifer
Would it have been difficult to upgrade to a dual diagonal system?
Hi Gregg
It shouldn't be too difficult to do..Im thinking the thing to watch out for would be the length of throw on the brake pedal rod in the new master cylinder
Ive had issues before where unmatched measurements can lock up the brakes
Other than that I would think a diagram would be easy to download somewhere on the web
That one line just pushing on seems weird.
Hello Quicktastic..which line are you refering too?
@@MikesRestorations Hi Mike. The line at 12:20 that just pushes on. I just found it interesting that there is no clamp or anything. Thank you for posting these great videos.
Oh yes I see what you are referring too.. Yes it does seems a bit weird.. how it works is
that line only self levels the fluid reservoir so to speak..gravity fed..when the piston pushes forward the reservoir does not pressurize with piston movement as the fluid moves toward the pressurized lines..when the piston retreats so does the fluid and addition fluid from the reservoir re- levels out. Pretty ingenious system they come up with.
Great question thanks for commenting!
@@MikesRestorations Ah, makes more sense now. Thank you for taking time to explain. Looking forward to the adventures with the engine rebuild.
