My welder came by to look a the project.

He was horrified (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

"Pathetic" was uttered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

He's convinced they forgot to weld it.

As to the fix, he wants to use 3/32 cro-mo rod and TIG it on Saturday afternoon. Then we'll have dinner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

He said, "piece of cake" and "it won't break".

We'll see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I see myself also ordering an RJ mount and having an install party with Grant when he's ready. Two in one day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

In the mean time I will invent a diagonal brace that will make it impossible for the bar to move downward.

If you do attempt to repair the quick six mount, I would take a look at the other failure shown in this thread where the mount ripped the tubing just past the weld. You should print out that pic and show it to your welder for reference.

Your welder may decide to take a look at that weld as well and do some reinforcement.

hey trek, just in case no one has mentioned it yet, i'd rather go with a bulkhead mount instead of trying to fix this thing ...

I was just wondering...What do you guys think about the idea of me using a different style of engine mount other than the PMS bar mount I have and was considering repairing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I heard they make a bulkhead style or something. Anybody heard of this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Jumpy.gif)

Might wanna check around. I heard Andy installed one of John Richardsons in his car and it bent the whole thing up when he welded it in... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Trekkor,

I vote that you sell the 914 and buy a 911 GT car like me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Mucho faster than a 914, handles better than a 914, and they don't break!.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

And Bill, who is it that is still building that killer 914? I think it is called the Beast or something like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
