There are some things about that Miata stiffener that perhaps doesn't suit the 914, but the product they call "FM frame rail reinforcement kit" http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid...number=13-69010
may have some merit. Two bolt in longitudinal hat sections similar to these could greatly enhance stiffness with a bot-in scheme if configured properly. The Engman kit looks to solve many of these same issues in a different way. The lower firewall brace portion looks to help tie-in "the box". If there was a way to do something similar in the front (bulkhead) as well, then it seems that would help complete the structure. It's always interesting to look at alternative ideas. Andys |
