OK...I thought about putting this in the wanted thread (Apologies to the mods if this breaches rules, please delete if inappropriate)
Does anyone know where I can get an engine cradle for converting my 914 using the WRX engine and transmission? I know you can buy from a few sources and mod to suit but my fabrication skills are lacking and i'd need to pass an engineering check here in Aus. Any info/leads appreciated. |

Thanks but I believe even the renegade one needs modifying when using the subaru transmission.

I am just about to start production on the cradles, below is a shot of the prototype, its just tacked together and missing a few laser cut pieces, but just to give an idea of what it's going to look like. This cradle will work for both the 901 and Subaru transmissions, with no cutting to the rear trunk (unless you have a turbo mounted in the stock location).
Also in the photo is a back plate for the 2wd conversion of the Subaru transmission, which are at the machinist getting pretty. not pictured is the 2wd locking spool and custom Sway-A-Way hybrid axles that will complete the drive train kit. -Ian M.  |
