914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Trans mount mock up

Posted by: spare time toys Mar 25 2005, 05:48 PM

Rick sent me a diagram for his trans mount. I did not have all the items listed for his style but I did have 1.5 inch bar stock I could use. I need to relocate the mount bolt 1.5 inches aft and when I do this it puts the trans bolt overlapping the rear hanger bolt. What my thought is I can weld a plate betweew the two hangers and open up the aft mount hole to fit the rear trans bolt..

Im doing thie mock up on the Banana not the German 8 Tor. When it is its turn to be worked on I plan to replace the trunk floor.

It would appear that this will increase (almost double) the stress on the rear bracket. I would reinforce the rear brackets to compensate. Perhaps even make a spacer block to bolt on top of the one you have there to fit snugly between the two brackets, and a through bolt to tie them together. I assume that this is to fit a non-stock engine with increased power and perhaps more weight. Even more reason to ensure the bracket won't fail.

I plan to brace them up some. As for going big on the engine its for the 928 powered car.
