The Porsche 917 Gearbox Oil Cooler finally installed!https://pbase.com/image/165665316
Not a factory 914-6 GT feature, but since I had this very cool 917K racing piece---where else could I use it? My thought was that installing it at the rear of my GT and connecting the 917 gearbox oil cooler to the 916 Racing Gearbox would be a nice addition to the car.
While in the process of cutting the rectangular opening to vent the 917 gearbox oil cooler, we discovered that the small section of the rear panel of the 914 had a previous minor repair. Here is the 'bondo' pix! https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/165665315, and upon further investigation and stripping off more of the paint from the panel, we confirmed the small section of that vertical panel was the only affected area we could see. Only a total media and or chemical strip could reveal any other hidden previous repair(s).
