Charcoal canister vs windshield washer tank

[chris belyea]

Hi all,

I'm trying to restore a '70 911E. When I purchased the car, the windshield washer tank and charcoal canister was missing. After finding the pieces and go to install them, they charcoal canister hits the windshield washer tank. If I rotate it 90 degrees, the hoses would hit the battery. Can some tell me what is wrong with this setup. The other threaded hole pictured is for the battery strap (I think).

Thanks

Chris

Looks like the car had a front crash and the battery holder/tank Support was replaced with a later 74-89 repair panel

I think you are correct. When I was repairing some of the sheet metal, it appeared that the panel was new. So is the connection for the charcoal canister the only one that is incorrect or are there other differences?

Thanks

Hi Chris

This photo shows the location of the canister relative to the battery and the washer reservoir on my '70E

So I don't know if this help any. Here is a photo that I took without the bracket. I'll get more when I get back to the house.

You need to find a car and measure the correct hole location for the canister bracket or have someone take a picture with measurements , the hole you are using is incorrect .

Here are a couple of pics showing the hole location.

The top is a Dansk replacement panel (incorrect for 70), the bottom is the Restoration design panel (correct), the orange piece is the best part of my old panel, 70T, note bolt locations.
