Hi Everyone,
So I would like to install some rear pickup point reinforcement ........ Is Tangerine Racing the only vendor that sells these????

http://www.tangerineracing.com/chassis.htm

Is there someone else that produces this at a more reasonable price??

Please let me know !

Thanks
Ed

Mine are heim jointed also
bolt in allows them to be easily pulled for motor drops
you can triangulate inboard with bolt in (which blocks the tin work on a 4 cylinder)

I have 1 set in my 4 cylinder car which were installed around 1990 after I ripped my suspension console out for the 2nd time on a track only car running 205 tires.

I have another set in my -6

I have a 914 fab shop here locally that builds these for all of its cars. I helped install and it was really nice to have something that fit perfectly and was tweeked and designed to fit simply.

I would recommend anyone tracking a car to check the outer swingarm pivot bolt (22mm) regularly. when they come loose not only do they oval the ear, but they contribute to ripping the console out. I used to have to tighten mine on a daily basis prior to the bars being installed in 1990-ish.

have never had to tighten them since.

I'd suggest checking this bolt because if it is working loose then it is a sign that you definitely need the brace.

picture of mine are in my vintage thread in my signature
