Ripped out the LH inner suspension connection console this weekend at Laguna Seca.
Happened during SCCA qualifying coming out of turn 5 up the hill. Lucky it didn't happen in the turn.    I plan to weld in a donor replacement part and reinforce it with a reinforcement piece from Tangerine Racing. Looking for any suggestions to make this attaching point stronger. Are there any other options for replacing the left side other than using a donor piece from another 914? I understand right side replacement consoles are available but not available for the left side. Thanks for any suggestions. |

Sorry to see the destruction, but getting Chris's assembly will be a good move. After I changed mine, never had a failure. |
