Hello Eric,I got the drivers side snap vent installed today as well as painted the edge lexan so that I could run a seal between the window and door frame.
I gotta say it’s hard to start drilling holes in the windows.The grit style hole saws cut really well didn’t grab at all and left a pretty clean hole with minimal cleanup required. View attachment 115757
Markus, here are some pictures of what I used. This one fit a standard arbor like the Milwaukee holesaws use. I had seen this type of saw in another thread here.Hello Eric,
Looks really good - you wrote that you used a "grit style hole saw" could you please post a picture of it? When I'm doing a Google search I get inconclusive results....
Thanks in advance.

Ron I have to say that is brilliant and I didn’t think of that before I put them in but odds are good they will have to come back out for final mirror fitting. I will give it a try.Eric,
One thing that I have found works very well is to cover the painted surface of the windows with electrical tape before installing them.
This will keep the paint from peeling off or being rubbed off by contact with the body.

Why aren't they using silicone brake fluid. I use these Girling copies and just add a silicone or rubber seal to the top and no issues. Just can't cover the breather hole.One of the first things I decided to go after was the notoriously leaky brake and clutch reservoirs which were already not looking so hot. My plan is to replace with a tilton reservoir. As usual things snowball and as usual one thing leads to another and before you know it the pedal box is out and you are making new bushings and relocating pedals.

Hi:
Perhaps you already have said this, but do you intend to use an internal hydraulic throwout bearing on the transaxle? If so, what brand?
Thanks!

Thank you, Eric! I appreciate the quick reply and wish you the best.Chris, I am planning on running an external slave cylinder on this car. I didn’t like the idea of having to remove the transaxle to fix a leaking hydraulic TOB. Conversely there are a lot of people who seem to have pretty good luck with the internal setups and depending on what bell housing and transaxle combination you are running the internal may be the best/ only option.
