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?

Put a bar between the firewall and the rear suspension ear, then reinforce the rear suspension mounting points, where the trailing arm shims go. Thats #1 and #2 for the most weak points in the body on the rear.
Any pictures of that setup? |

To the best of my knowledge, Chris Foley from Tangerine Racing pioneered them. http://tangerineracing.com/ |

Search for Heim rods. To the best of my knowledge, Chris Foley from Tangerine Racing pioneered them. I appreciate the credit but I'm not the pioneer of using heim rods braces to stiffen the innner consoles. However, as far as I know I'm the first to create a product using them specifically for this application in a 914, and I am the original designer of the outer console stiffening pieces which I offer. I try very hard to provide useful products for 914s at the best possible price. I use the products I sell so I'm always seeking to make improvements. When it comes to copying others, I see nothing wrong with making anything for one's own personal use. I see nothing wrong with someone redesigning a product which is flawed or isn't well suited to the application, and offering as their own product. However, I object when someone simply copies available products and sells them out of their basement at a lower price, with the sole purpose of undercutting the commercial vendor. If someone doing legitimate business can beat me at my own game by offering a similar but improved product or substantially better pricing through their ingenuity, that's fair competition.
