At least it will be finished before binky!! Nice work Jeff
Nothing to do with you directly Jeff but something definatley to think about,Because you are such a "fan " of taking things apart many times ,like the engines of your lovely Porsche and Alferrari, well I was in an accident where my friend was killed and I was nearly too,when a mans Range Rover lost its propshaft due to the NylonNuts coming off at high speed,in the inquest the makers of the nuts said they were only to be done up once and maximum three times,but they found these nylock nuts had been taken apart at least 14 times due to having problems with clutch and gearbox over the years.
No fault on the owner but Its something we petrolheads never think of but I do now. and your followers might after this.
Love your channel From Wales UK
Nearly there Jeff..... It's always the little stuff that is time consuming. You're patience and persistence is amazing, especially with how pure the 911 is. I realise there are Jeff modernisations and touches for ease and aesthetics, however for the most part the vehicle is beautifully pure which is very very impressive. Just a magnificent build Jeff. Also loving the Alferrrari journey which is anything but pure but shows how you can develop engineering and design skills like a champion.
Yes, it's a 36mm spanner - I bought one normally for use on trucks, does the job nicely. For the wiper there is a intermittent setting with a little knob somewhere on the dash (I think above the clock, from memory.) The final 1% is a killer, but you're getting there!
I will have a look.
You have the patience of a saint!
Wipers not parking is possibly because you've got the trigger feed, but not the permanent feed to keep them going until they park again. Maybe your trigger/permanent the wrong way round?
I will see if I can get a pic from others cars to see the wiring.
This is indeed most likely the problem. Wipers do need a permanent + as the switched + disconnects the moment you switched them on. This happens in the contactring of the wiper motor itself. So the permanent + is definitely needed to get them back in park if that makes any sense.
Garry's correct, there should be a straight ignition feed which powers the wipers to the park position until a switch in the motor breaks the circuit.
And the correct sequence is off - intermittent - low - high.
The intermittent works through a timer relay, or as mentioned before, through a potentio-meter knob on the dash.
So close! Be patient you'll get there.
Part of me wants you to keep working on it so you'll continue to put out videos, but i also want to see your huge grin when you first drive it.
Must bring a smile to your face in the mornings, when you see a 911 you built ( and looking beautiful ) and an Alfa coming along nicely with a Ferrari v8 going in it 🤯
Harry is looking extra shiny!
There is usually a park switch in the wiper gear assembly
I don't know about Porsches, but on many other cars when you have problems with the wipers not parking or not shutting off, it's actually an issue with the internals of the wiper motor itself and not the control switch. See if your repair manual has any information on how the wiper park function works inside the wiper motor.
Oh I could hear the cries and screams as you used the vice grips on that oil fitting lol. Good watching you chase all the "little" jobs for rego.
He used vice grips on the 5mm allen he tightened the shift coupler with too.
Getting close to the money shot Jeff, it's the little jobs that take the longest, it'll be worth it. I love the look of those early Porsches.
Wiper motor will simply be an internal parking switch issue.
Great Orange 🍊 ❤️🌳❤️
If you want to improve your shift feel get a jwest shifter with 2" extension with a Stromski shift coupling. Will entirely change the shifting experience on the 915.
Almost there Jeff, almost there.
When we going for a drive down too Tasmanian give it a real good run out sounds fantastic Jeff
Some connectors are available in both “pull to seat” and “push to seat”. Maybe try and see if there a push to seat type
On my old Ford Focus they stopped parking themselves. Turned out to just be a bad relay.
I found this out after tearing the car apart and fitting a replacement wiper motor
Stahlwille STW44036 Crow Ring Spanner 36mm
It's so close now Jeff. The last little jobs always take time to fix.
You should try some website porshepartsbyjeff for that shifter....
Weird to go through a whole video and not pull the engine out of the Alfa....
While not seen pulling, you can see the pulled out engine in the back during the shifter bushing discussion.
That look on your face when the pin comes out of the shifter coupling "that was so easy"
That one came out much easier than mine ;)
Get a knipex 250 plier wrench for random sized bolts. Amazing tool.
Great tip. I just ordered one ;)
They won't fit in there with room to turn it without damaging the oil return tubes.
Windex will solve wiper problem 🤪
As Garry mentioned below, you need a switched 12v (constant 12v with the key on) at the wiper motor for the wipers to park. If everything is hooked up correctly and the switched 12v feed is good, the park-contact in the wiper motor itself could be bad. It's often not a difficult item to fix once you have the motor in hand.
Here is a wiring diagram: www.pff.de/wcf/attachment/286251-sw-jpg/ (this would also be in the Haynes manual... you really aren't into books, though, are you :-p ). The wiper switch on 911's has 3 positions: slow, fast, and turbo (fast wipers for a fast car :-D). There is a separate radio-volume-knob like switch for the adjustable intermittent wiping.
Translation:
Scheibenwischermotor - Wiper motor
Wischintervall - intermittent wiper
Wisch Wasch Schalter - Wiper Washer switch
Sw - Schwarz - black
Rt - Rot - red
Ws - Weiss - white
Ge - Gelb - yellow
Gn - Gruen - green
Vi - Violett
Br - Braun (generally always gnd on German cars. I assume you know, but just in case...)
Point '1' is switched 12v distribution, '19' is gnd. The switched 12v feed for the park position is the Rt/Ws wire running from '1' to terminal 53a on the wiper motor.
I certainly hope this one is a keeper (as someone mentioned selling below 8-0 ). It will be a good investment as well. 911's are still going up...
BTW, you'll want to install a short shift kit - it makes a huge difference on older 911s. I always installed these (still have one on my '76): www.mecatechnic.com/fr-FR/levier-de-vitesses-court-pour-porsche-911-a-boite-915_RS11955.htm but that was 25+ years ago (and I never used the epoxy - always just tacked a weld front and back). It seems nowdays they all come with more bits www.ebay.com/itm/New-OE-Supplier-Manual-Transmission-Short-Shift-Kit-91142493100-Porsche-911-/282496423146 . You might even find one in Porsche parts by Jeff!
That is exactly what I needed. Thanks. Now I need to see if I can get it sorted.
Sooooooo Close !!!
There is a switch on the sprocket run from the worm drive of the wiper motor. You will need to remove the wiper motor and take off the inspection panel to see the switch. Also the three power wires need to be hooked up correctly for it all to work. I have photos from my 66 Porsche if you need a reference, but oneve you have it out on the bench and hook it up to a battery it is easy to work out which is which. I just went to Supercheap and bought a cheap spanner and cut a slot in the ring with an angle grinder to tighten my oil line. Oh when you put the wiper motor back in it is a pain to find out where the arm connects. Trial error and masking tape flags are your friend.
Great stuff. I will pull it apart and play around as you say and see if I can get it working properly. Thanks
@@HomeBuiltByJeff Also I just checked my spanner to tighten up the oil line. It is a 32 mm ring spanner from Supercheap. Yours may be different just check before you cut up your best 36mm. My car is a bit like yours, just a bit more yellow. www.stylingautomotive.com.au/project/bahama-yellow-912
Hi Jeff, if you are going to pull it apart, it would also be useful to ensure that polarity to the motor is correct. The wipers will appear to work correctly when polarity is wrong, but will not park as a small sensor on the cog travels in the wrong direction. At least that was the issue with my MG. Cheers on a great build.
Your the best
My OCD goes crazy every time I see the door cards with the squares not lining up!
connor sweeney It is in the little things, indeed.
They have pulled, and it gets me too. I will be refining the interior when everything else is done ;)
Great good Job in Love this Car very 😍👍
Don't know much about Porsche but on my Nissan the relay causes it not to park.
Gday Jeff
Bro grab your self some knipex alligator pliers (002007us1) they are gold
Dirty thumbs up mate
May sound weird but, when someone made the car right hand drive, and reversed the wiper sweep left to right maybe they made changes for that. You possibly need a right hand drive wiper motor setup? (Is there such a difference?) If they're not the same on which drive side you have in different countries
Good point but they are the same LHD and RHD.
You have a constant ignition missing from the wiper motor. The homing system needs a power supply beyond what the wipe switch supplies.
If you still have a oil leak why park the gray devil under 😳😳😳😳 thanks for the great content 👍
On my SC, a faulty intermittent wiper relay caused the wipers to not park. I could however get them to park by switching on the intermittent wipers.
You could make your own oil line spanners by cutting up a 36 mm spanner to get it to fit over the line. Like this: instagram.com/p/Bw7g8PSlgrD/?igshid=hmld46ox2amh
Intermittent wipers are on a nobb on the dash.
6°C??? It just hit 34°C here :/ Congratulations on the progress!
Blimey we have 38 deg C here 40 miles north of London. I am in the market for a 2 post lift should I get one with overhead connection conduit or one on the ground ?
If you have the height, the clear floor ones are much better. I don't have the room.
That oil leak will still drip on Archie.
It does :(
What’s about the rear fenders? I mean u had to trim them to prevent the wheels from rubbing against the internal outline... are u going to touch them up?
Yep. I have tidied it up a bit, but there will be more to come.
Home Built By Jeff 🤩
Whadda ya need them vipers for in Straya?! LOL
Are you not worried that oil leak could cause a fire?
Yes
Home Built By Jeff lol, ok
If it were carbs and stock ignition it would have been already sorted
You can change a single electrical connection way faster than jetting and setting floats on a pair of tripple throat carbs.
Jason Dunken - this is a complete cluster, he has to contact some guy with a fancy computer to sort the damn thing
@@PecanRanch He said "I looked through the logs" which indicates he has the computer to diagnose this problem. You would very quickly see the issue in the data for the cam sensor. The first thing you should check, especially considering that was the one connector he was unfamiliar with, would be that connector. repairing it would take 10 minutes. Still way faster than jetting and setting carbs.
Jason Dunken - perhaps for you
@@PecanRanch Perhaps, I have been working professionally on Porsches for 30 years, everything from 356s to modern IMSA racecars ;)
I thought you might remove the whole exhaust to get to that 36mm oil line, that might solve the tooling issue there. Hope it doesn't drip on Archie there.
It does regularly :(
@@HomeBuiltByJeff I think, she likes Archie a lot...
You probably have to wait until it rains before the wipers work properly. LOL.....
Great job, Jeff... Nearly time to sell it, eh? ;)
Hell no! :D
Yeah to Mrs Jeff
Have a look at this: www.speedyjim.net/schem/wiper.htm. It's dealing with aircooled VWs but I'm sure it's relevant.
Self parking wipers are over rated anyway. I have the same thing on my 280Z. Nice build!
Do all RHD cars have LHD wipers? On LHD cars the wipers park on the driver side so that they clear the driver's vision first.
this has RHD wipers, they clear most of the drivers side in their sweep to the right. RHD bmw 2002's weren't so lucky, and have LHD wipers that miss a bunch of the screen on the drivers side. :(
@@slowfun89 I don't think that's correct - I looked up some photos of RHD 911s and both wipers park on the drivers side, just like they do on my LHD 911. I wonder if it's as simple as flipping the arms around?
@@Dave_Allison This was originally a LHD 911.
It is easily reversible. Particularly at the moment as they don't park themselves. I just put them on the passenger side so I had an uninterrupted view.
Who are the three asholez that would thumbs down these videos? SMDH
6°C pretty cold ? You're spoiled down there...
The coldest mornings get is around -4C
That Oil leak is slow to no I see, what with Archie parked under once again.
Probably the wiper relay is dodgy. Try a new one
Why call engineer when faults remain.
I find the engineer thing to be so strange it’s funny that someones whole job is inspecting modifications to cars.
