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.

I agree with the front area...

Bill, why have it in the rear?
If someone is beside you the computer will show them as crossing the finish line first.

I've mounted AMB's in 2 914 race cars.
there is a sweet spot inside the passenger wheel well, on the inner fender, behind or inside of the strut.

it is a clear shot down to the loop.
and nearly goes through the lower a-arm.

very very protected from debree, and even crash damage. its only about 8 inches behind the front bumper but much more structurally sound and also shorter wires/easier to wire.

I'll look for a pic.
