Could someone explain to me the measurements that are required when you put a brace in to weld up and fix the longs (winter project)
I looked in the 914 info...I cant really make out the measurements I was thinking were needed... I dont know where to measure from/to. Also, could some of you guys post pics of the door bracing brackets you have used...I need to make something...just need a direction to head... Thanx very much. Rich |

Also do not have a picture with me.
but when we did our bolt in door brace bar, we made it to bolt into the 3 factory nuts for the door hinge. We also welded a nut onto the bar and put a threaded rod into the bar. Was easy to change the overall length by turning the thread longer or shorter. Allowed us to bolt it all in and then fine tune the gap by minute amounts and avoid shrinkage that I was worried about from welding. our bar is completely bolt in... but more time to make up. brant |
