At the suggestion of the board, I am bringing my 76 914 with a 73 2.0 (dual Webers) to Chris to have the engine and drive train looked at. I already have a new cam on the list. I'm also considering SS headers and break and fuel lines.
Any one else have any constructive suggestions OTHER THAN dropping in a V8 from a Cayenne GTS? Thanks. |

In order to keep things interesting here are a couple of pics of the R&D we did today using your car as the test subject. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This is the new master cylinder brace we developed after studying the pros and cons of previous solutions created by other 914 owners. This product is relatively cheap to produce, is sturdy and easy to install, doesn't interfere with the bolt-on cover panel, provides adjustment to account for vehicle variations, and removes quickly for master cylinder replacement. Two 8mm bolts get welded to the crossmember. An angle iron bracket slips onto the righthand bolt, and rotates into position on the other bolt. The nuts are adjusted to press the bracket against the front of the master cylinder, preventing the firewall from flexing under hard braking. |

Nice! A much simpler design, but why not flip the angle iron so it supports the bottom of the MC too? We thought about that Travis. There are three primary reasons: 1) access to the rear nuts is compromised, making it difficult to tighten in place; 2) the angle iron would sit lower and interfere with the cover panel; 3) the lowered angle iron provides less stiffness where the m/c makes contact. At present the angle iron is in an ideal position for direct in-line pressure. I think that the master cylinder won't move up and down if the bracket makes firm contact but we haven't tested it yet. We'll know tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
