901 question
 

What is this linkage sticking out the side of the case? Close to the nosecone. On the bottom.....

Also, how does one remove the speedo cable attachment point on the nosecone?

The linkage on the side of the case is a bell-crank system for the 911 Accelerator. It's removed (or cut off) when installed in a Type1 chassis.

Having done this all the hard way (http://www.germanlook.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11341) I would highly recommend talking to Alex from Bug@5speed, and ordering their conversion parts. It will solve you hours and hours of headaches, where I would often get to the end and think "well @#^&. They're stuff is way better then what I just built." Alex wrote a "how to" thread which can be found here: http://www.germanlook.net/forums/sho...ht=901+install. For the speedometer output, you either swap your nosecone to one of his (solves multiple problems) or figure out how to cut up the stock output and reseal it as I did.

Thanks! I'd love to buy the bug@5speed stuff, but unfortunately like you, its out of my budget. So I suppose I'll puzzle my way through it.

Hey get that thing installed and post some pictures!

I'm building the mounts tomorrow!

Roughly how much is that conversion kit from bug@5speed?

I don't recall the exact number, but I know It was out of my price range. Like $700 for all the bits I think. Email him for an exact quote though.

Eurotrs, please email me at Bugat5speed@yahoo.com

Let me know what box you have in mind, and I can provide a price.
Take care,
Alex
