After paying a tow truck way too much money...the fuel injection work I had done has made a world of difference. Thanks for the advice by the way! My car runs great now...... however, knowing myself like I do there will always come a time when screw something up and have to tow it again. It sure would be nice if I had a tow bar like they have for the bugs. Has anyone done towed a 914? Is there a specific towbar I can use or make? I saw a guy modify a bug towbar to connect inside the front trunk but that looked like some serious work.
Any advice? Eric |

the hardware included in that kit is indeed stout, and that location may very well be better than the mounting points of the early/mid cars (i don't know), but does not even compare to the mounting points of the late cars. IIRC, it simply seemed like fairly thin gauge sheet metal to be pulling and pushing upon with sudden and potentially great force. the bracket and mounting plate of the kit pictured with howards car did not seem particularly large to me. again, YMMV, no big deal to me.
