Just bought a 1973 914 with plans of autox / roadcourse PDX only. I've just had the engine (1.7 carbed) rebuilt as well as the complete brake system done. I bought a used 914 rollcage (4 point bolt in) and plan on installing it next month. Should I also install the stiffening kit as well or will the cage supply enough added support? Thanks in advance....Jack

If my long's were rusted I'd replace them. After that a cage is the answer. I also agree that the knee cross-brace is probably gonna break the knees in a big crash.
I'm more important than my car is. Cage it! If it has to a bolt in, I'd make sure it has gusset-plates the size of Montana to bolt into rather than sheet metal, which will only "start" to protect me. Good luck |
