Hi All,
I'm starting to source the parts for putting a 2.7 into my teener. I'd like to hear the pros and cons of both the bulkhead and the quick six mount. Thanks! --jaybird |

I have run the following mounts on converted 914-6's:
Quick six bars ranging from home built units GPR use to sell back in the early 90's to PM tube bar that flexes like crazy to even a 2 piece bar design that was cool. Used and installed the RJ mount, Vellos bulkhead and Maddog bulkhead. Probably 6-7 different mounts and I have learned that any "Quick Six" bar is great to get you going, but nothing to run forever. Best bulkhead mount I have ever used is the one Maddog makes that is a copy of the RJ and Vellos mounts. I only prefer the Maddog over the RJ mount because the Maddog requires that you pull the wirring loom all the way out from the back up to the firewall, mount/weld mount and push it back through the maddog mount. The RJ mount goes OVER the wirring loom. Soooooo, if you weld on your RJ mount and have to pull through wires, you're pretty much screwed. The maddog takes more time to install, but easier to work on the car later if needed. Sort of past my 2 cents I guess, call it a dime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) there's plenty of room to pull through wires, the channel in the RJ mount is fairly large ...
