Need to make room for a cable shifter.
Should do some rust proofing while I'm in there too and would be nice to have better access. Do I need to replace sheet metal, or maybe build it up some more? |

The central tunnel is structural, a lot of rusted longs on 914’s are held up with the central tunnel.

If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(Montreal914 @ Apr 27 2026, 01:08 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) to a certain degree I'd bet most every part of our 914's is structural on some level. It's easy to open it up from the top, do your work and weld the section back in |
