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.

Well sure, you are cutting a hole but then you are covering it up. Most 914 & 911 fires seem to be caused by old fuel lines. I’m betting that the guys cutting access panels for their six’s have modernized their fuel delivery.
