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 don't hold me to that We won't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There be nothing factory about that cage. There were really never any factory cages in 914-6/GT's. In fact, I believe they even raced without bars the first year. The factory then began to add bars and side bars. Mine (shown here) and the one's Mark is now making are about the extent of the factory efforts on bars/cages. This is modeled off the #40 car: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1110-1295992507.1.jpg) That said... carry on! We'd like to see more.
