In the process of repainting my '71 and adding the bulkhead 6 engine mount. While the car is all apart I remember seeing someone do an access panel in the bulkhead for "emergency" engine access.
Does anyone have pictures of such a modification? TIA. |

On my 2nd 6, back in the mid-80's, we did an access panel when we swapped in a 3,0. I got a section of firewall from a wrecked 914 and we used riv-nuts in the firewall with a nice weatherstrip around the hole and overlapped the new panel about 1" all the way around. Painted to match and it sealed really nice and I never could detect any louder engine noise as a result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

If a fire burns long enough to get through, we will be having other problems for sure |
