914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Can I remove this for my 6 conversion

Posted by: Qarl Jun 1 2003, 07:17 PM

Can I have my body guy cut these out since I am going to the bulkhead style motor mount?

Anyone have some pics of what it's supposed to look like after it's removed?

Thanks...

Look on Ginter's "restoration-rustoration" thread.

I think he and brad discussed this as he is using a donor 1/4 from a -4 car.

Yes

No, I haven't done it yet.

Although as Sean said, you can check out my thread and look at pics of a real /6 to see what they look like without a /4 mount. And Brad and I did discuss it briefly. I had always planned on cutting off the /4 mount from the replacement quarter.

Too funny, Iwas thinking the same thing today while exploring the belly of my car today. Thanks for asking the question and the answers.

I took em' off when going to the bulkhead mount....and have never missed them.
Off the spotwelds where the mount attaches to the longs.

You only need them if you wanna go back to a 4......

Kind of hard to do....like changing yer mind after a sex change operation.....

I removed them too. Do like JP said, drill the spotwels off. I´ll see if I find any pics......

That's something I should have done to the -6 conversion I have been working on for a customer. Too late now, since the paint job is so nice.

Karl, I didnt find any old pics. So, I got a good reason to shoot a couple of new.

In the passanger side the 4-mount is no problem. There is plenty of room.

In the driver side I had to remove the old 4-mount. Otherwise there was not enough room for oil pipes.

Hope this help you make you own decision.
