When I made (well.....I designed and mostly a buddy made) the lower gear setup the bearing surfaces were left a little oversize in case it changed shape/size during heat-treat. Tonight's project was to get the no very hard part to size.....the chips were actually coming off on fire! I did my best to get a picture.

But it's done now and fits the bearings nicely.

In other news my porsche gas pedal assembly came today. I'm thinking I can hook the cable and position sensor to my pedal some how.

After years of following this project, the birth of your children, balancing Lana's wants with your wants, garden and other home projects you disappeared? Well a little sleuthing and here you are with much progress. This goes far beyond any describable craftsmanship.
Even our smallest projects become complicated. I tried to upload a picture, but wanting to park my 308 and 550 in the same space with a nice parking lift turned into a brain and muscle tease. Lift was easy...but now relocate opener, raise garage door to more acceptable height when open, and figure out how working alone to stretch those damn springs...

I'd rather read and view your pictures, thank you for the trilogy as we get into book 3.

thanks and sorry to keep hiding :)

That is a beautiful car. A buddy that used to live near by has one the same color and stopped by with it once. When Lana learned that at that time the silver 550 and a QV I not taken it apart were about the same price and I could have sold mine and bought that she literally smacked me in the head.

Use a commercial style roll up door instead of a conventional garage door... solve all of these problems at once.

I tend to agree.
My 308gt4 has lacked use and attention since I got the 550.

Yep,
The obvious solution ...
But then logging on.
I saw this website is the "home of many stupid projects."
I have had my share....
My first car was a 1959 Fiat 500 . I paid $20 and had to build
a dog house for it so the gas station dogs could relocate .
I have 50 yrs of projects which qualify.
Never done things the easy way.

No porsche, just a nice part I might be able to use from a porsche. When porsche first went to DBW the cars were not designed with enough room to put the throttle posiion sensor in the pedal box so they made a cable operated assembly. I'm adding DBW to my car and I has a gas pedal setup for a cable....so I'm thinking this porsche sensor assembly might be just the ticket.
