904-090
February 1, 2008
We had
one of these cable mounts from 090, but each car takes two,
so we made extras. This part gets glued onto the floor with
cabosil and 1/2 oz mat surround. Later we will show this being
done. All the other parts are the quarter turn fasteners.
The aluminum ones on the left are for the front hood, the
steel ones in the middle (which will be plated) are used for
the battery cover and the rear deck hatch cover (license plate
door). If you can't find them, you gotta make them. These
are made exactly to the specification of original. We made
extra shifting shafts and now they are finished (satin black)
and ready for assembly.
The two
bottom ones are for 090 and 068.

Almost
have all the $10,000. parts made for the pedal assemblies.
We're
really proud of these. They are exact duplicates of the 904
headlight ring. All you 904 guys need to see if you have them,
cuz if you don't, I have three sets for sale. We need the
other three sets because none of our cars had original rings.
These are perfect.
Just received
a shipment of spark plug retainers. All the twin plug engines
from Porsche had these special metal with rubber end straps.
They go on the valve cover stud and retain the spark plug
end so vibration won't let them come off. The picture on the
right was lost in space until this update. These were the
photos taken when making the front engine mount. You can see
we used part of an original mount and altered it with some
chromoly tubing and a couple of flan blocs (rubber mounts).
Of course,
this was already fit in the car with the engine.
On the
bench to weld in the support tube. In a previous update, you
can see the finished product.
