I played around with photoshop a little bit. I hope 914RS doesn't mink I used his picture.
Anyway, instead of having a tube go from the ear to the firewall, I thought that one could take some sheetmetal and create a shelf. I don't thin this will work for /4 but it might for converted cars. I thought a cross section might look like _____ |_____\__________ Would this be strong enough? Just seeing if there is a nice way of doing the brace. So It would be like having another shelf. I don't know how low the engine mount goes but I think one could work around that. On the ear the attachment point would be pretty low and be able to handle movement better. On the firewall site it would attach to the back edge of the floorpan. Attached image(s) |

Hey Brett Man, We did't get to go. Charles is the PCA SMR region Pres. and he had the to go to Spring Fling thing they have. BUT we will be back next year. I was told it was a big turn out. Hey smrz914 We did not plate a the section of the ear were it bolts. Take a good look at the pic and you will see. Hey Jeroen You are heading for trouble with your design. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Like James said the engine is real close there. If it has a six in it you won't get the valve covers off with out taking the engine out. |
