Does any body make a stiffening kit that can be welded to the outside of the long?

QUOTE(Cire @ Oct 24 2009, 05:19 AM)  QUOTE(Heeltoe914 @ Oct 23 2009, 09:27 PM) Steve what is your purpose? Are you looking to repair of stiffen the chassis? I for one think the inside eggman??? Are the best IMHO. Got any more pictures of you putting in the long stiffener? What are your thoughts on if you had to do it again... Would you do it the same way? Did you do the back first and connect the two sides? Did you do two sides and connect the back? I also see you have some epoxy or sealer or something in your pictures. Whats that for? = ) Please tell all. Eric I was thinking you should check the little triangle like area first you cant correct allot of your flex by just making sure its tied in well and has not started rusting out.. Ask me how I know???? I was ask if I had to do it over again which would do Well for me and in that I have driven 100s of 914s, really after being a instructor for so many years I always get the other 914 students, I feel the inside is the was to go Think about it outer is not tieing in the flex areas as well will it help I think yes the outer well 100% help but will it be as strong as the inner IMHO no. I would say the inner is allot harder to do in that you do have to remove the complete interior and undercoating along with some shaping, It’s a great winter project and as fare as how it made my car feel WOW its like I added a cage not as much twist at all. So really the outer is good and is a nice weekend project to where the inner is going to test you a little more. But I also think it goes without saying if you feel there is rust inside the longs don’t just cover it up get into it an replace what needs to come out you will be allot happier you did 5 years form now. Oh Eric I did the back first and than the two sides.. I used a big clamp to hold the parts as I welded, I did not wont to have a gap behind the new parts. The sealer and black caulking is yes to close it all off and after the carpet was but in you wont even know it was done, |
