i think it previously just held some debris protection shield.
but does it help keep the front suspension stationary?

Need a pic from underneath and straight on to tell....
But ya usually need all the bolts....
Especially with THAT monster....
That bolt IS critical. It holds the crossmember onto the car.
Fix it before you drive the car again.
I have no idea, but sure like the title of this post. Would hate to hear same in the hangar
What is in there now? from the pic it looks like a stud or something..
But I cant really tell from the pic you have shown us.
If there is no bolt, or no stud with nut in that location. you need one bad.. before you drive the car
you may be right about it just holding the splash pan, it's hard to tell from the pic though.oddly, the expolded view doesn't show a bolt or stud and nut there.

edit ..... do you have the # 3 brace? maybe the bolt you show is where #10 and the # 4 nut attach. i think it also holds the pan on.
The bolt that holds the xmember to the tub would ummm..... go into the tub not down below into space(not a good material for locking down parts, air is funny like that). It is hidden by the mustard circle that was drawn. I will go take a pic for you.
D
hat isnt the xmember to tub bolts....
those are outboard and way bigger. (you can see it to the right of the pic)
i beleive its either splashpan or swaybar
yup. nice vusal donnie
your right about the pic. it sucks... =-)
here's a better one from the other direction.
there's a bolt just in the hole for no apparent reason. it came with the suspension....
unless it's for something important.... "THAT, is the question". sorry, i just crack up whenever i see this smiley. LOL

so are saying I need to find some of those 911 braces...??
CRAP!
You got your doctorate in what????
Hmmm,
here's the 914 suspension.
yep, that brace is welded on.
stock ones are pretty weak so maybe i'll fab a couple of them tomorrow... dang... =-)

geeeez howie... didnt you hear?? "love".
That looks like the splash pan bolt, which also holds the sway bar backet. At least, that's what it is on my 911 SC. On a 914, it is not necessary.
Disclaimer... I will verify this later, when I feel like lying on my back on the garage floor with my camera.

OK, Dr., I made it back from the abyss of the passenger side window winder sticking repair on the 911. Here's a couple of pictures of the bolt in question, vs same view of the 914.
Disclaimer #2...if I can figure out how to load the photos
