Yesterday I got back to working on the 914. I am flat out determined to have it back on it's feet and ready for an upcoming car show.
The brake caliper on the passenger front was sticking, however.
Upon taking it out and splitting the caliper I found that the pistons were mostly rusted to the inside. I honed the crap out of it and only then found out that my rebuild kit was the WRONG side on the seals. Then upon honing the other side out for the piston I found out it had a crack.
A member of 914 world was kind enough to send one to me and I am waiting for it to come in the mail.
I also found my fancy wiring crimpers, so I will finish the rest of the engine harness while I'm waiting on brake stuff and it will be ready to go for the season. I am so very excited to have it back together, done right and drive it again.
