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.

The donuts are used as a check set on the factory jigs. They were the starting point when VW built the chassis. When you set the car up on a Celette that is the first place you check to see if an impact has introduced a twist in the chassis. Once you know the car is square and level you attach the pinch clamps and move forward and aft to check the rest of the chassis. They are not designed to be jack points. Specially the fronts. They are attached to a light part of the floor pan. That's why Porsche installed the jack spur at the balance point. I don't use it, but that's why they put it there.
