Would anyone happen to have paper drawings/pattern for making the plates for the chassis stiffening kit that I could use to copy over to the sheet metal to make the plates?

QUOTE I am thinking this list is more about buying stuff from the right people than making it yourself though. Made some enemies just now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) If you're wanting to make enemies I'm sure you can but, that's not what we're about. This list has nothing to do with buying from the right people and more to do with helping each other. I don't know (Maddog) other than through the fact that his copies of the copies of the copies of the copies of the copies are the least expensive, so... again trying to help Lyle there. I've yet to see any grand changes to the design. So, if you 1) stick around and 2) look around, you'll find a great community of guys that often help out each other at no-cost or sometimes even great cost to themselves. We love the cars. We don't try to "steer a buy". There's over 7,000 members here and we love newbies and veterans alike. Hell, we even like Slits and "Canadians!!!" And I love Madison, Wisconsin (I'll take a 1/2lb of 8 year old cheddar when you get a chance... they can't seem to get that right here in Utah). So again... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) ...and, hang out, look around and you'll be rewarded with a rich group of friends that share a common bond. |

Thanks, I liked what I saw, and tell the truth, I saw the problem coming with the post. I would like to make my own engine mount, but I can see the problems with just asking for the measurements. If I do make my own, I will take my chances with my own skills. Still, it seemed like for someone wanting to do it on their own the response was a little bit large.
I plan to stick around because I need the help. At least that's what everyone says. |

If I do make my own, I will take my chances with my own skills. Still, it seemed like for someone wanting to do it on their own the response was a little bit large. I plan to stick around because I need the help. At least that's what everyone says. I could send you my drawing, but it's different from most out there. Mine does not capture the wiring harness and mine is a solid mount. I don't use the rubber 911 style mounts like a few of the others. I know its sacrilege not to buy from the mainstream member vendors. I typically fabricate my own parts. ![]() There are by the way, patterns that have been passed around for years on such things as 914-6 engine sheet metal, 914-6 oil tank hole layout, 914-6 heater block-off plates, 914-6 oil line hooks, etc. Once upon a time, I used to think this place (or the one before it) would have been the perfect place for a repository of knowledge with these cars. But, alas, people want to make these parts for others who either lack the skills or would rather buy parts to bolt together for their projects. Eventually, these same people who got a pattern and started a hobby business forget that they don't own these patterns and the knowledge gets lost. Unfortunate, but it is the way of things. I still will provide the drawings of parts that I have drawn and patterns that others have sent to me. I have been known on occasion, to make parts for a fee as well. |
