I tried searching but alas……..looking for measurements/references for placement of the rear trunk pivots. I have 2 new pivots to weld in but the previous hinges were such a mess I don’t really have a reference.

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Mar 2 2023, 08:02 AM)  Personally, I hate solutions that add more parts and more weight to what is supposed to be a lightweight car. Sure it’s not much added weight but that is how cars get so heavy. Death by a thousand cuts. A little weight here, a little over there, next thing you know the car is 10 - 20% heavier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) By that logic you would be an advocate for never adding power to the cars. Because thats the way the car was designed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Considering the the average weight of a new car is somewhere in the 2 TON range, I think you are picking nits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The other way to think of it is the 914 engineers might have prefered to uses a BETTER solution but opted for a cheaper one considering the target market & VW deal. |

And your logic is why American car industry can’t produce a light weight car - been there done that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
