Didn't get to work on the 914 as much as I hoped over my vacation, but still made some good progress over the last couple of days...
Frame rails in the engine comp. are stripped naked They still need some minor detailing here and there and the "hell holes" still need to be cleaned, but most of the hard work is done Tonight I welded the rear shock towers to the frame rails Quite a gap to fill... Attached image(s)

Me agrees with Brandt.
Here's what we (Mike and I) discussed over the phone: I thouhgt the longitudinal was spot welded there. A visual inspection of the tub kinda bears that out. As a "while we're in there" philosophy for a street 914-6 that might get driven hard, I thought that seam welding all the factory GT points like what Brandt has done (both inside and out of the shock tower) would be good. I also thought that one who knows how to weld very well could lay a bead down that line inside the rear shock tower where the longitudinal meets. With proper penetration of the weld it would make it stronger. You can see the spot weld so you can follow the joint, effectively seam welding from the backside. Either that or not worry about that seam and seam weld all those other areas previously discussed. Thoughts? |
