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.

I tend to agree that the jacking donuts are for jig locating and carrier hook up ... I'll have to check under the cars when I go into work this afternoon, but I think we do the same thing with our cars... I think that since the rear donuts are beef'd up a bit on the traingle that when lifting at all 4 corners, having the drivetrain installed would be no issue...
Lowering the cars onto the drivetrain would be a PITA... You would still need to have a pit under the car for people to bolt in the engine bar and trans. mounts. We raise the drivetrain up into the car when its overhead and it can be adjusted back/forth a little bit incase the carriers/engine dolly arent perfectly sync'd up. Everything has to be sync'd up right since each step along the line is 55 seconds... including stuffing the drivetrain in 55 sec. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
