Any one have any tips for making sure a 914 is straight before attempting a Long repair? Something that could be done without motor and trans? Or can point me to a thread to read?

Thanks

-Pete

I must be over looking something, because I can't find any data for the "y" measurment. Anyone know this one?

shit, you're right. someone forgot y.
plus, looking closer, it looks like y goes to the pass. side upper pilar. in this case it's useless anyways.

ok, now, you need:

f
g
h
x

where f will really tell you how much the car is sagging on either side.
my f actually shrank 1/4" during weld-in of the roll-cage ...
