My 914 cracked from the pickup point on the undercar of the chassis. I drove the car like this for a while, but it got worse. I decided that I am not gonna risk my life anymore driving with this. I pulled the engine and trans morning to diagnose the problem.
I was wondering if anyone else here has run into this situation? If so, could you offer some advice in re-inforcing what very little metal is left. Even a picture of one of these welded up would be nice. Thanks - Ricky Attached image(s)

Yeah.. whay he said!
I dont even want to hear that somebody is selling a "patch" for an issue like this. His ear is rusted. It NEEDS to be replaced.. not patched. IT will continue to RUST behind the patch. Help me understand. I have done 6 of these now (ear replacements) + raising 3 cars. B |

IT will continue to RUST behind the patch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) that looks like a rust crack and not a stress crack you sometimes see on a full blown racecar ... patching this up will buy you a year, if that and then it'll have rusted and cracked somewhere else ... cutting out the cancer is the only way to go. and the repro console is not the much $$$ ...
