Here is a close up of the rivet line:

Installation involved riveting and then bending or rolling it down and then finally attatching the bottom:

couple of last dash pics for now...
here is the underside. It was attatched to add strength and "finish" to the dash:

And here is inside kinda. We cut holes in the underside so that it would be possible to get your hands in there for wiring purposes....

overall, probably about 15lbs lighter than the stock frame and stock dash:

Ok we also got the rear suspension hung. I particularly like this shot as it shows the inboard and outboard braces at the same time and in the same plane of direction....

The rear busings are AJRS monoballs:

Here is a better picture regarding the toe brace. I tried to show this earlier but un-mounted. With it mounted onto the long it makes more sense.

(boy I wish that valve cover had 3 more holes with 3 more spark plugs):

Your car is amazing it looks as though everything has been thought of and accounted for.

It is sure to be a winner on the track. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Great job Brant, and cheers to your dad. I just got thru all 8 pages and it's amazing how quickly the car is coming together. Nice job.

Brant,

Do you have any more info/pics of the AJRS monoball rear suspension bushings you are talking about?

Your car is an inspiration, thanks for sharing,

Tony

I'm sure it was mostly his own decision. But I'd be surprised if I wasn't a tiny bit to blame. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Looking great Brant! Can't wait to see it.

Kelley, Chris, Tony, Eric... and Mike

Thanks again for the feed back and input.
yeah... I got a bit jealous of everones cool pictures and then Ginter got a cool 2nd camera too.

Regarding the mono-balls. I actually haven't seen the inside of them so its hard for me to tell you much about them. I know they are a solid replacement for the bushing with a metal to metal contact... Its a full insert that is placed into the swing arm tube and then welded... It uses a full different shaft, and we even had to enlargen the holes for the shaft to mount to the console.

but since I've not seen one uninstalled, and I've also not seen a mueller roller bearing uninstalled its hard for me to draw comparisons.

I know AJ has been selling and installing these on 914's for a long time. But I'm not sure if he produces or buys a mono-ball kit from a producer.

Regarding AJRS. The AJ, that I refer to is not the Allan Johnson that advertises and has the big race shop and all.... Its a little independant 914 shop that doesn't even put their phone # into the local phone book. He is in Grand Junction, Colorado and this Allen Johnsen is truly a Guru...

He has been building and modifying 914's for years. He comes up with some of the most inventive ideas and he is also a heck of a driver... His -4cyclinder GT5 PCA car out runs most of the GT4 and even GT3 cars at any event he attends...

I don't like that it sounds as if I'm bragging, but this guy is truly an unknown genius of the 914 world.

Congrats, Brant on sticking with your project. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

You serve as a motivator for the rest of us.
You're good...

Thanks KT...

Ok, here are some shots of the rear shocks and suspension. I'm pretty happy with these. The shocks are a carrerra brand race shock. Since I'm planning on running the car very low, we made them up with a reduced travel range.. Supposedly they are valved for our weight and rough colorado tracks

They are an inverted shock, which theoretically may move a tiny bit of the weight off of the suspension:

The rear shock bolt is modified for the rear sway we used to run on our old car:
