I would really like to find some factory assembly line photos of the 914... I searched the club and google, and only came up with a few. Anybody have new ones?? the most interesting ones to me were the two with the 914 being assembled on the cellet bench. here are the pics I found. Please add yours if you have any.

Andy and I were talking this weekend about the underbody "doughnuts" that are commonly thought to be jacking points. Andy's floor was dimpled up which he though was more accident/bent tube damage. I shared my experience that jacking the car by the front points causes this "damage"/issue. The reason is that the front doughnut is absolutely and completely not connected to the long in any fashion. It's actually about 3/4" away from the long, so using that jack point is essentially just jacking the car by the floor pan (bad idea). Andy postulated that the doughnuts were used for maneuvering the chassis during assembly. And the point.... looking at these pictures convinces me even more that those points are not suitable for jacking up the car and were only meant to be a secure way to hold the chassis and maneuver it during assembly. Nice thinking Andy!
