It's a 'Bumblebee'. I found it in the middle of a field up in north Texas last year. It was painted red and in really bad shape - but it's getting a full restoration [by me] at present. She's a few years off but will be black and yellow again! 'eye searing'.... you are correct! In fact...
I've been through an automatic a few times (yeah, I know... not good). But I'd say when I did the spray-off wash, I'd forget about it and spray right into the damn snorkel (again, not good). Since reversing it, I feel less concerned. I don't spray that direction, usually. Plus, with the...
Well, I'm pretty busy bringing another old Porsche 914 back from the dead and probably will not have the time to do any fabrication on this part. I'm game on whoever can get this thing cranked out and available for us on this Channel.
@pandapaul - I just flipped my snorkel plates at lunch today. We're predicted to have heavy rains today. I'm thinking that may reduce the amount of water going down the snorkel. I've never looked to see where the water might have been going before. Probably into the filter box. Do you know...
I just flipped mine at lunch today. I had to bend the closures back the other way a few times to get it to lay flush. These need to be made of a harder material - like metal. I'm thinking about fabricating them this weekend.
Or the car wash! I'm thinking about doing the same for my upcoming trip. Plus, I've heard that, with the open plate to the rear, you get to hear the turbos spool.
Hope y'all are as helpful when I install the OEM sway bar-disconnect on my Everglades. LOL! I'm joking, ... I think. :p Good luck on Monday, @pandapaul
@pandapaul - your extreme focus 👀 on this upgrade indicates to me that you are ready for vintage Porsche restoration. Let me know when you are ready for that.
@pandapaul - yeah, @Tdecell said that the wash bottle/PCM bracket with part# NB3G 16F13J BA cross-references to part# NB3Z-7D438-A. He also said none were available. Have you looked yet? Perhaps this part could be fabricated? I could do this for you, if you can't get a hold of one. This...
