We recently started on the prep of a vintage 914-6 GT build. Starting with an original 914-6, and using original factory parts, this will be on the track this summer.
The owner asked for a bolt in cage replicating the factory GT cage. We just happen to have one as an example, and are replicating it with updated attachment, size, and safety requirements. The original 914-6 with factory steel flares already attached. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i184.photobucket.com-9299-1295880063.1.jpg) This is the original factory cage set in place for measurements.

QUOTE(dflesburg @ Jan 25 2011, 11:14 AM)  I call BS! Tell us how you really feel! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That said, i've also never seen anything similar in a factory GT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
