These are just 1/2 of the equation. More to come. This came out of a conversation Erik (with a "K") and I had last month. Many thanks to Ron for cutting and making these and exact fit. Funny how a piece of cardboard and the USPS can make things magically appear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I think you need a third piece. Otherwise, the strength of the rest of the assembly will simply cause the two pieces you added to bow outward under load. 914 trailing arms are very strong, you know.
Also, I found on my arrangement, that the 255s (on 17x9s) occupy the area of the modification. Thusly, that size wheel/tire would not fit on arms modified in this manner. Attached image(s) |

Joe,
What do you think about another piece like this? I realized that huge wheels might limit this. I measure my car with the GT flares and 8x15's and 225x60's with tons of room. That was my next question about the entire thing... how big can they go before they rub? The design was to keep that profile as low as possible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I think my idea is much easier to weld AND stronger.
As for size, I don't think 18s will fit on mine because the 17s will barely fit a pinky finger in that area. With your mod, I'm almost certain 17s will not fit. Of course, the fit is from memory. Let me see if I can get pics..... |

Here you go. Sorry it's ditry. Ferg hasn't been down recently. I exaggerated a bit, but I still think there will be issues with 17s:

Again, I made that profile rather low... I think it would work on your car. Look at the relationship to the brake line clip in the first picture and on your car. The gusset is not where your fingers are.
QUOTE will as stcok diameter tire interfere? Absolutely. I designed them that way. These are "brakes"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Did you say you're going to college? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Hey... got a special picture for my Lil'Buddy. |

I agree with Joe that it should have cap. I also think it should be one formed piece to cut down the amount of welding (warpage) and should be 14-16 ga sheet metal, no more.
