That's to bad.. I always worry about not getting loaned parts back in a timely manner and timely is different to everyone.. I have some factory 6 heat exchangers that I will be working that are lent to me by Danny gets out this way and will be stopping by from time to time so that keeps things in check for everyone.

Stupid me I had you original layed out on my firewall for height etc and I wirebrushed the marks off headbang.gif .


The factory piece sits on the bottom pinch weld...comparing the one you made and sent me to the OG one your need to be 1.5mm above the pinch weld..


Appears to be spot-welded directly to the body ...wonder in how many places,mines a copy just like the on shown but is plug welded and the round cutout has been welded also.
Great pic thanks.

Ben:

Wonder if you can fab up the upper and lower sandwich metal plates on either side of the factory 914-6 rubber mount.

I know you've made the part that bolts to the engine and the other one that welds to the car, but I'm looking for the 2 smaller pieces that above and below the rubber mount.

Aesthetics are not important to me...meaning it doesn't have to look factory, just function as needed.

Not sure where I can get an example for you to copy or a "go by." Perhaps someone on this site has a set???

I sure could make them again would need samples.. Looks like it could be machined out of steel plate.

Some saint or hero needs to loan Ben his upper and lower sandwich plates so the rest of us mere mortals can use the factory-like set up. I'll pay the shipping....just give me your PayPal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A few update pictures. I have a pile of sand blasted and aviation epoxy primed parts for the car now done. Also a student and I are working making the flares rockers out of steel. That part is hard for me as it only takes me a few minutes but the students much longer to make parts but they really learn allot about fabrication when they start building these types of things Attached Image Attached Image

Early in the thread you mentioned wheeling out some flares, then later said you located some. Did you end up making any?
