This is the detail I added to the brake calipers. Details came from pictures in Bruce Anderson's book, Porsche 911 Performance Handbook. Evergreen rod was used for the inlet boss and cheesehead screws. Detail Master #3 line and fittings were used for the crossover pipes and brake bleed fittings.

Nice job! Would it be asking too much to post the referance photos? I would like to see what the originals looked like. Frankly, I have never heard of a "Cheesehead" screw before, and would like to see what we are dealing with. Thanks.

Cheesehead screws is a term I came across when I started purchasing parts for my 1:1 914-6. These are internal wrenching fasteners with a hex or Allen drive. The head of these fasteners is cylindrical, hence the name "cheesehead". Another term is socket head cap screw.

Dick - Well I guess you learn something new every day! I have been using them for years, back to my days wrenching on farm equipment 40 years ago and this is the first use of that term. Your explanation of the derivation of the term was very descriptive. I love it. Thanks.
