Chassis stiffening kit patterns Options

[partwerks]

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?

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.
