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

There are bolt in roll bars then there are bolt in roll bars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
To stiffen a bolt in bar, make up plates and weld the mounting nuts to the plate, then weld the plate into the car. Bolt the cage/bars to the nuts/plate. Much better. |
