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) |

Tube wall thickness is another factor, I like the concept of using more light tubing versus less heavy tubing. No need to worry about racing rule books so any size that is appropriate is fair game. I like Jim's ideas, I was thinking 1.5 dia. what wall thickness would you guys use and where?
