Took this video to post in my "Hold the phone!" build thread, but for those who might miss it, this is a repost.

is the stud supposed to be crooked? looks that way in the photo?

anyone know whats up with the clamp on support andy mentioned? whats that like?


also how much foor pressure was required to get teh movement seem in the movie? was it a full force thing with you leg or a lesser force?

I guess if I was racing , the car would get a lot of full force breaking stops, but on regular street use, full force braking is not frequent.

does this failure happen often on street cazrs, or is this mainly a track/race car issue?

It's not a failure. All stock 914s do that.

As for the clamp on solution, it's been a while since i've seen the posts (several years?) but they are here somewhere.

Basically, it's a metal brace that is clamped to the cross-member and MC holding the MC in place.
