I have a driving school to attend this weekend and they require a transpounder on all cars. where is the best place to mount this on a 914? I don't want it to get damaged by flying objects.

Is it -your- transponder? Or are you renting it? If it's a rental, just screw the mounting clip into the front license plate mount. The transponder will point down and will be unobstructed. These AMB transponders are -tough- critters. It practically doesn't matter where you mount them as long as it's less than 24" off the ground, is pointing down, and there is no metal between the transponder and the ground.
I've seen front mounted transponders come out unscathed when cars go into tire walls. These suckers are -tough-. It takes quite a bit to bend 'em, even more to break 'em. Just make sure it's well mounted to the car. It's a lot easier to -loose- one than it is to break one. -Josh2 |
