So I have been playing with the idea of adding a couple more tubes to the back of the Anklebiter. If you were to replace the back half of a 914 with tubes where would you put them? Here is a rendering of the original cage (red), drivetrain (Grey), and points that need to be tied in (green).
What would you do? Attached image(s) |

The tube from the long too the motor mount wont be doing much the way it is, and would be better served meeting the cage w/ the other tube.
Likewise, the inner vertical from the motor mount up to the hoops will not be as strong as if they go to the "shoulder" Last (and probably way overkill, but i've been doing Baja Trucks) would be a support from the upper shock mount down to the motor mount. Could probably lose the bar between the trans mounts, there wont be any stress in that direction back there. |
