I don't remember ever seeing the factory assembly line for the 914. I have a factory prepared video of the 356, I've seen 911 stuff. I would really like to see what process was used to paint our cars.

Anyone want to guess as to what body part might be used to interface with the hanger from those overhead cranes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Fronts can handle the front...it weighs alot less, especially once you put a motor in place. RIch |

Fronts can handle the front...it weighs alot less, especially once you put a motor in place. RIch That is my thought exactly. On top of that, as far as I can tell, I don't see evidence that the drive train is installed in those photos. So my hypothesis is that the donuts are only intended for production line lift only. And that maybe when they marry the body to the drivetrain, that they lower the body onto the drivetrain rather than lift the drivetrain up? If that assumption is true then maybe in the assembly line they never suspended an entire complete car via the donut holes? My point (using a lot of "this might be true" logic) is that this all might be more evidence that you should not use the donut holes as lift points for a complete car (which is not a new idea by any stretch). (Quick edit after I just read what I had typed. I think what I am trying to say is that you an lift that car if the weight is distributed across all four donuts, but I don't think it's a good idea to try to jack up the car using just a single donut. Especially one of the front ones only) Richard |
