Could someone explain to me the measurements that are required when you put a brace in to weld up and fix the longs (winter project)
I looked in the 914 info...I cant really make out the measurements I was thinking were needed... I dont know where to measure from/to. Also, could some of you guys post pics of the door bracing brackets you have used...I need to make something...just need a direction to head... Thanx very much. Rich |

I just used a piece of 2.5" square tubing
On the rear, I used the stock striker plate (without the rubber) and at the front I made a 3mm plate that bolted to the top door hinge Cut the tubing to size to snugly fit between the two and welded it in I measured the space between the top of the targa hoop and the windshield frame to make sure the gap was ok before I made the brace rear, using stock striker plate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1129511970.jpg) front, top door hinge (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1132592777.jpg) sorry, can't find a good total width shot... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1129511999.jpg) before you weld the bar to the plates make sure you can access the screws/bolts to remove the bar |
