Great info all! Keep it coming!
Tom, Im pretty sure all the 914 hitches go through the bumper. All the one's that I have seen do at least. |

QUOTE(Andyrew @ Oct 20 2010, 02:59 PM)  Great info all! Keep it coming! Tom, Im pretty sure all the 914 hitches go through the bumper. All the one's that I have seen do at least. Andy - There's gotta be a better way to do a thing like that GoWesty Vanagon set-up, but the tow insert will need to sweep out & up in order to get to the proper hitch height level - cuz IMHO it's pretty "Hill Billy" to hack into a 914 like that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) - & I'm part WVa Hill Billy too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Maybe by connecting extension struts/bars from the orange arrow points at the rear underbody crossbrace &/or longitudnals' rearward extensions in pic below? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)  That way the hitch loads transfer to the longs directly, which are the main fore-n-aft structural components of our 914s' unibody "frame".
