Hello everyone,
Been lurking for a while now and finally decide to join the forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I recently "acquired" a 914 track car that I'm currently rebuilding. I don't have the $ for a custom cage so I'm in the market for a weld in. I've been searching and have no luck in finding what I need. Does anyone sell a weld in roll cage that has side hoops that hug the A pillar and come down in "front" of the dash? I'm not a big fan of a bar that ties in the left and right side hoops that sits under the dash board. I would rather that bar sit closer to the front fire wall and above the steering column. That way I can install the dash over that bar. Sorry for the long post. Thanks, Ron |

you should pick the place you want to play first
go visit those guys if there are other 914's there ... look them over buy those guys a beer.... find out who the eligibility person is... buy that guy a beer too then (I prefer in writting since you can print and save emails) ask before you do.... Ask that eligibility guy how many points the roll cage is allowed to touch the chassis for his club. really building a track car to use and not abuse the rules is just as important as any of the other fabrication components. I'm the porsche eligibility chief for my race club. I hate the look on a guys face when I tell him he has to "undo" something he has already done. Usually the applicant gets pissy and mad about it.... Seriously, ask questions first. If an applicant screws up he only has himself to blame. |

It depends on the sanctioning body.
for PCA production class wheel to wheel it wouldn't be for my vintage racing organization it would be. In PCA at least, your car would be a GT (non production) car so it would be legal most of the vintage clubs adhere to scca wheel to wheel competition rules. Some to FIA. Usually those rules have a cut off date... say 1967 (in which case the 914 isn't allowed) or others use the 1972 rules. So if it was legal in that period then its allowed... but crankfire and things that were not invented may not be allowed. for example I had to buy a twin plug distributor, because crankfire didn't exist in 1972. so it really depends on the club and really the best advice I can give the original thread poster is to find out where he wants to run and use their rules. brant you should pick the place you want to play first go visit those guys if there are other 914's there ... look them over buy those guys a beer.... find out who the eligibility person is... buy that guy a beer too then (I prefer in writting since you can print and save emails) ask before you do....
