Hey Guys...This is a re-post from the "Garage Forum" Hope its ok?
Some 914 race car style questions: Anyone know who carries Kirkey Seats in the PNW-Seattle area (or something similar)? Which style fits best? For those of you who have roll cages and have changed the pedals..... Did you use "swing style" to mount to the crossbar of the cage or firewall for brake and clutch and or throttle? Im trying to get away from floor mounted if possible? Not opposed to a hyd. clutch either....using stock 914 transaxle.... Thanks for your input.... Pictures always help if anyone has some.....

First here is a picture of the oil cooler set up. I love having the cooler mounted high and out of the way of danger. BTW I do not think this will work on a car with a windshield. I think the flow may reverse, however I can also see where this may relieve the low pressure commonly found on the cowl making the air flow across the windshield laminer. Some tuft testing would be in order.
The Wilwood pull cylinder is below the CV. I think you can see the hookups. The cylinder had to be spaced away from the case for alignment. I used a longer stud in the case and I made a nut that worked as a spacer. This moves the shear point of the assembly to the end of the nut thus reducing the torque arm. The nut very nicely spreads the load into the case. I run a double disc AP 7.25 clutch in the car and have had no issues in 2 years. BTW I am not missing a CV bolt. That is where the roll pin is located and I have a 911 boot on it. |

Question: Just wondering how you get any airflow over the cooler mounted where it is. Do you have airflow coming in somewhere, other than the vent. BTW I ran SPU at the Cascade Lakes Hill Climb and like you said in a later post there were some interesting cars. Nice finding a class where you can compete without any major disadvantages. The Cascade event was SCCA sanctioned, so wondering why more SCCA events don't offer the SPU class? |
