I haven't seen any fiberglass 914/6 tins in person. Are the ones available any good? Anyone got any good pictures? How what fitting them up?
Share your insights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Did a search and found a few people making the same claim about fiberglass tins. "Metal will bend but fiberglass breaks" but I can't understand why/when this would be an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Can anyone clarify this for me as well? Had anyone actually broken FG tins? Or is this just one of those things that's been passed around? |

Had anyone actually broken FG tins? Or is this just one of those things that's been passed around? I have never used fiberglass. That said, my tin gets trashed every time I remove my engine. The RJ mount requires the engine to move rearwards to get it out and that is a collision with the suspension. I wouldn't want to remove an engine with fiberglass tin. One mess up and it's broke.... If you had a stock mount and the engine could be dropped straight down it would work better.... |
