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?

I'll go out and trace mine if you really want. I too was too cheap to buy one 25+ years ago so I got out cardboard, made patterns and figured out where the pieces went. I had an old Tweeks catalog or an old Automotion, or an old Performance Products, or an old Electrodyne catalog that showed the parts. I was a poor college student at the time, and I took my cardboard patterns to a sheet metal fabricator and he helped me out (probably felt sorry for me in reality) He sold me scraps for really reasonable prices and cut out some of the parts for me.
Keep in mind that unless you remove the 4-cylinder engine mounts, not all pieces will fit. Also keep in mind that there are better and lighter ways to reinforce the rear of a 914 and these scab plates don't address all the cracking areas that 914's experience. It is what they did once upon a time, but I'm just saying that this is not the only game in town any longer. The internet and these 914 sites offer a wealth of information and there are many pictures of some of the problem areas and approaches of how to address them. |
