I am about to replace a floor pan in my 73 914. Can anyone recommend the best replacement parts for me? Thanks for any replies.

I'll let others answer that since lots of people know way more than me. These might be the same as you have from RD, but if you click on the '914 Info' link in the upper right corner of the forum page, there are body dimension diagrams and other great info. I didn't get too crazy with mine. I made a cart that supported the chassis at the suspension pickups front and rear and got the car where the longs were level. Then I just checked and rechecked dimensions. Once the outer longs come off, the chassis will flex like rubber and you can dial in most of the critical dimensions with the door braces. Clamping and screwing in the long replacements seemed like a good gauge for making sure things were straight and true. Then it was just a matter of keeping the heat down while welding to minimize shrinking.
I've seen smarter people use laser levels and even jigs to lock in critical dimensions. I have driven mine yet so might have screwed it up for all I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
