It seems almost every engine I've taken out of a 914 had engine brackets that are distorted and have wallowed holes. So I had my local hydro-cut shop make some new brackets that spread the load and will hopefully stop all the distortion. These are made from 1/4" aluminum.
  I'm going put the first set on my 24 hours of LeMons car. Thanks Joe |

QUOTE(LotusJoe @ Oct 28 2010, 04:46 PM)  That makes sense. I didn't think about the bar catching on various stuff. Some of the brackets I've taken out look like they are barely holding the engine in the car because they've been distorted so badly. Your alloy versions do look good and will rightfully distribute the load a lot better in the chassis provision, than the stock ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)! Though 1/4" is too thin, maybe double stack them? |
