We have been lucky recently to have come across two factory chassis stiffening kits. These are stamped pieces that perfectly clamshell the body for very very easy installation. We were thinking about duplicating them but wanted to gauge interest and price to see if it would be worth while.
With the fact that they are pre bent they could not easily be installed on any 914 without a lot of labor. As tooling is very expensive and parts produced only sold to a small market, the sale price per kit would be more expensive of course than if we could make 1000 kits at a time. Comments? |

Pete we are very lucky
I guess I need to subscribe to 000 to get the info on the chassis stiffening. And by design the 914 chassis if treated the same should have been superior to the 911 of the time. Minor profits looks like the price of $500 would be short. But I can be hopeful, I am down for a pre-order also if RD is in the picture. I would also like to see the other modification, and see if it can be a package deal. getting ahead of myself now. |

As to the bit of chassis info, I am not sure I would subscribe for that, but there is an article in Issue 012 that I feel really would justify a single-issue purchase at $75 for 914 owners. It was a hard story to put together, but it's the first time I have understood the 914's design, and, really, its place in the Porsche story alongside a larger picture. And I've been driving one for 30 years and studying these cars at least that long… Re: Mikey, George, Peter, et al...I would indeed be interested in buying a set of these if the price is right, even if only to put on a shelf for now...and it sounds like Mikey might have a springboard that avoids the need to spend $30-45k. Pretty neat. |
