My car didn't have sway bars from the factory and I have a Weltmeister to install at the front. I've actually already fitted it and packed it away again before I fit it once the car is painted.
In a conversation with another UK 914 owner we discuss strengthening the inner wing where the bar come through. Here's a pic of what I have at the moment. What's everyone's thought on strengthening this area? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/s6.postimg.org-6621-1519136078.1.jpg) |

I'm with Chris... weld them in. I don't like the "riv-nut" versions above though.
We have them for $30.00 a pair. Probably cheaper than your time welding them up. |

Here is an interesting reinforcement design I have not yet seen. I wish this was around when I did mine. I had to cut the boxed area.
