I bought some 3/8" shrinkwrap tubing, cut it to size for each bolt, heated them up with my heat gun and now they're not rusty and fit into the black motif even better.
This blog follows the progress of restoring and converting a 1973 Porsche 914 from stock to full electric drive, with an electric motor and half a ton of batteries. Now that the car is done and in storage while I live overseas, I'm adding descriptions and pictures of each Tesla location I visit.
