I am thinking about adding reinforcing tubing to my front trunk/shock tower area and would like to see what you have done to your cars.
Where do the tubes need to be located? I would like to keep the stock gas tank but if I have to notch it here or there it isn't the end of the world. Also the radiator shouldn't really be a huge concern, I can mount it anywhere. I am thinking something like this but in the front, not full tube chassis but more tube, less sheet metal. ![]() Here is how it looks now. ![]() Thanks for the help! |

Thanks for the advice guys.
I am not totally familiar with the 914's torsional weaknesses in this area, Would a setup like this be a waste of tubing or do you think it would help significantly? ![]() I would rather have you wise old codgers yell at me for coming up with a stupid design now rather than after I have welded it in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Triangle good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The front is usually a compromise as most people like to retain that area for something. Fuel cell, oil cooler, oil tank etc. A X brace would probably be the strongest ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |
