Good morning - for a 3.2 914/6 build do I ideally want to run the inner stiffening kit and the outer?
I have the inner kit in hand, wondering about this one from Maddog. I do understand they reinforce different parts of the car. Talking about this kit, stock picture of the back, similar plate is provided for the front. Thanks! |

I'm working on a 6 that had some significant chassis rust. The customer had supplied Brad's kit for this GT build.
After lots of discussion with the customer (who is open minded), and other 914 guys; I'm doing the inner kit, the Restoration Design outer clamshells, an augmented GT kit, and some pieces from Tangerine. I've done 3 Mayeur kits, which I think are the strongest, but I didn't think it "elegant" enough for a real 6. No offense to my good friend Brad, they are just more crude. Here's the R-D piece: This is the first inner kit I've installed and it's an original Engman kit (R.I.P. Mark Bland). This kit isn't scored correctly for the early brake handle indentation (which is different than later cars). I don't know if Maddog makes an early and late version. I added a little 90* piece to the bottom of the inner kit to tie it into the floor pan. I'll post a video link in a day or so, and pics, if I can figure out how to grab still frames from my youtube videos. |
