Help with fuel pull line to open the gas lid

[govols!]

Mr Laws and I are stumped as how the wire from the end of the fuel pull goes around the antenna to the gas lid. Seems the antenna is in the way ?? Any help appreciated !! George Kehler

I think there's supposed to be a tube guiding the pull cable around the antenna. Here's a photo of my 911:

My car has been repainted so I can't guarantee that all the parts in there are the original colors. Some VERY early 901s/911s had a different fuel filler release, but your car's probably later than mine judging by the bolts holding your door hinges.

Unfortunately all that needs to go on before the door is installed, might still get it all in with much swearing

Its been quite a while ago, but I believe one can create the tube using two tubes: one that is larger than the tube coming out from the passenger cabin, the the second that slides into it. The latter being about the same size as the form. Once joined one can slide the release cable through. Not stock but close.

Another picture from my old 71E. Like Jim´s car, also been repainted etc.

I neglected to install mine before installing the the door. As Ed stated, is doable, but was a PIA..

any other tips to install the original tube AFTER the door and fender are on (ugh) are appreciated

If it helps, the door is easily removed by undoing the door stay pin and then with the door fully open, drive the hinge pins out with the appropriate tool. Such won't disturb the door alignment. Understand if you are looking for a solution without doing that, but with the assistance of a helper it is no big deal.

I'll second that. At least with my 356, pulling the pins and taking the door off is pretty easy. There might be a "special tool" involved to pull one of the pins. I just put a big nail-pulling crowbar in the pin head, held the far end and hit the bar near the pin with a hammer.
