1967 Porsche 911 Video 42 Installing Rack & Pinion and Control Arm Assembly 

Hi Rob Thanks for the flattering compliment=) I don't really profess to be a Porsche specialist..just a hobbiest and car enthusiast sharing some things My lingo is a bit out of the norm..another ism used quite frequently is this guy and that guy for parts..strange I think..anyways be carful!=) and thank you again!

Thanks Mooney Its exciting to finally see things bolting on her=)

I don’t know much about car restorations but I’m sure you have gone far beyond what other restorers do. It’s all like it better that brand new. It’s unbelievable of mush detail you’ve gone into. This car is amazing

Thanks Mooney I appreciate very much=) Yes car restorations can vary quite a bit in thoroughness and detail. The goal for this restoration as Hagerty would define would be a number 1 car Even still a number 1 car can swing wide in perception and actual thoroughness. This channel is really to help the DIY guy understand the process and be empowered to take things on. The definition (professional restoration) really doesn't mean anything to me..you will hear terms like nut & bolt, complete restoration, rottiserie restoration etc.. all means nothing unless they dive in deep. Usually someone is trying to make some money at the expense of someone else's ignorance so to speak.. its not honest and lots of fraud to be had in the classic car arena. To me unless the work is coming out of something like Singer or equivalent. its just and attempt to cover up and create an illusion of doneness Thanks for noticing the extra detail=)

Hi Gary Yes me too! can't wait to see it finally rolling again=)

Thanks Brett We're finally staring to make some progress=)

You're welcome Andrew Hopefully they will be a source to refer to for years to come Good for the DIY guy who loves Porsche=)

Thanks Feeesh!

Thanks Troels!

Thanks Gregg Sometimes just got to roll with it..These particular bolts feel very clear when tightening However a practice run is a great idea! Thanks for the input=)

Hi John You are welcome..its a pleasure ..I surely could have used an adapter. One of the reasons not used is to show the DIY guys there are times that will come throughout a project that feel and judgment will be required. Also this is one reason I never take my cars in for servicing. Im not sure the mechanic doing the work or the work done on the car prior to my purchasing has been as careful and sensitive. The DIY guy really has the best possible chance by diving in and giving it a try..after awhile experience and feel will become second nature. Stoddard is great! Im sure they will have something for your year and model Good Luck!!

Thanks Dan Try my best=) Its a amazing how much work it is!

Thanks Tom Doing well thanks! and hope all is well with you too!!

Hi David Thanks for the post! I did try to pull up the image but for some reason it won't allow me to view what Bob is referring to..Id love to see it but can't seem to open it. Its hard to say what's going on there..the bolt is original to the car and didn't look as if the area has ever been accessed for service work which is where things can go wrong...Shouldn't present a problem though in function and security off the steering the way is assembled. Im always so impressed the detail some of the viewers are key on They really lookin close!=)

Ah! Im able to view now! Yes Bob has three variations to view however he doesn't show a 67 set up..definitely not a 65-66 looks similar to the 68 -69 Production date on my car was November 66..also kind of a crossover year with various hardware. No telling what when on during assembly at that time but from my research Porsche was switching out hardware during 66..you'll see some cars with all silver zinc finishing transitioning into yellow cad plating..as the bins were emptying the new replacements came in. Thats why some of these cars have silver color zinc plating in some areas and switch up to yellow cad in those same areas depending on the production numbers..later 67-68 more Hardware was making its transition to yellow cad. The Porsche historians would know what went on and where much better than me. It could have been a hardware choice at that time during assembly..anomalies do occur Thanks again for sharing!

Mike, I am a local in the Las Vegas valley and live in Henderson close by to the Sunset Station in the Whitney Ranch area. I am restoring a 356 SC and a 1966 912 and have a few questions, can we meet?

Hello Tony Thanks and welcome to the channel Yes I visit Mcfaddendale quite often ..Its amazing what you can find there. You can reach me at mikemuskcabinets@gmail.com there we can exchange information and set up some meet Would love to se your cars!

Hello Jimmy Yes all the glossy suspension parts are POR15

Hi Brian My rack was in fairly pristine condition inside..Boots still sealing and wear almost non existent. I would think most racks would be in similar condition if the boots hold up. I cleaned the outer shafts and pumped moly grease in thru the nut /hole access point. I filled with grease using a grease gun and zirk fitting with hose over the fitting to fit inside the access hole. Pumped grease until starting to come out the weep holes where the boots slide on. Once grease started to come out I temporarily covered the weep holes with masking tape until ready to do finial assembly. I primed the shafts with grease after sliding boots on and then pulled off the tape.

@@MikesRestorations Thank you, enjoy your videos. You should have a Patreon account,

Mike, I can't seem to find the JP Group a/s bushings #1640200110, called my normal Porsche parts sources and both said they can't get them. May I ask where you sourced yours from? Thanks, Mike!

Hi Brian Yes those are tough to get in this country..I purchased mine awhile back from an E-bay vender in Lithuania. I have two extras with JP box if you are interested and its correct part for your car you can contact me by e-mail maybe we can work something out? mikemuskcabinets@gmail.com

No Problem, What year is your steering rack? can you be more specific on the exact location you are describing

@@MikesRestorations it's a 1969. Looking at the manual and watching your video I can see they're different. I put some grease on there and that held the plastic disc in place long enough to tighten the spring plate... but it seems weird to have that floating around in there...

Hello Olle, Thats a valid question.. Actually I have over 30 years experience painting with industrial and automotive finishes. There are lots different materials and equipment out there. Some of it very good and some of it terrible. Cheers!

Hi Robert This project still under construction..video 46 is the most recent progress Soon will be setting back on the ground. As of yet there is no plans for a complete video set. You may download anything from youtube for future reference!

Hi Jim let me dig up that information and Ill get back with you asap!

@@MikesRestorations hey, I emailed the JP group and they helped me out and I got the part. Thanks for the info via the web video, I have several of the wrong parts before I found your you tube. I really enjoy watching your work, I have one in progress too.

Hello Jim Great! I'm glad you were able to get some help with those.. My apologies for taking so long to get back with you I was working out of town last week and couldn't dig up that info Those are top quality bushings! I think you will be very happy with them Good luck with your restoration!
