[Roadsters] Help with what goes where through the firewall

[Eric A. Isaacson]

Bill,

The parts car is the way to go...I bought a basket case a long time ago and
it is very, very helpful to have a parts car to aid in the assembly.  Short
of that, the community is very helpful in providing pictures to help you
trace the plumbing.  Be aware that there are differences between years and
the routing is different.  

I have a 1968 SPL311 and I have to go through the same exercise you are.
How's this?  I'll map out the firewall holes later today and send the
information to you.  You can post it on Picasa and let everyone know on the
list.

Good luck,

Eric Isaacson

Hi all,

Starting to make a little progress on the '68 SRL2000. Now maybe doing a
two-steps-forward-and-one-step-back, instead of the opposite.

Anyway, here's today's stopper - the dash is back together with the new
cover, most of the wiring makes sense, and even with several parts books and
info from 311s.org I'm still not sure what wires and hoses go through which
firewall openings.

Does anyone have photos, diagrams, or can you look at my pix and tell me
what goes where? The one i'm really stumped on is the hard line that goes
from the oil gauge, through the firewall and then??? I got this car already
mostly apart so I don't have much for references.

Man, I'm really starting to think harder about finding a '68 parts car just
to use for reference...

Thanks! Happy New Year!! This thing will be on the road by Spring, even if I
have to put a lawn mower engine in it.
