I was wondering if someone could post the manufactures of some of the new after market frame re-inforcement products. I know of the obvious 10pc/swingarm kits and the original clamshells. But recently I have seen a much heavier guage clamshell kit, and an interior long/firewall kit, and it seems like I have seen 2 different types of the 10pc kit one which tied into the swing arm mounts I think? Who makes the 2 less convensional kits? And are there in fact different styles of the weld on multi-piece plate kits? Any manufactures of the above mentioned items please email me agconstruction_remodel_inc@msn.com
Thanks. Alex |

Hi newbie! Glad to see another Seattle guy!
The 10 pc kit is a waste of time, although the new inner long kit attacks the weakest point of a 914 so that should be worth it for a street car. The clamshell repair kit is for rusty cars. As JP says, a cage is the real deal for stiffening up a car although if your car is rusty it won't help fix that problem. Tell us about your car and post some pics!!!!!!
