I've had both the RJ and the Maddog .... nothing changes in what I said.

My current conversion is a '74 with an RJ.

I made my own bulkhead mount. It's easy especially after fabricating all the difficult pieces for these cars.....

Interesting!!

I guess I could cut the Maddog mount in two and add some extra welds and bracing and have what you have!

I don't see any motor mounts??? Are you just going solid??

If you wanna move your P-valve, I'm happy to post all the measurements you need. I've got a 914 chassis or two lying around the shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

You might be able to.

However, I use solid mounts not the 911 sport mounts. You would need to bolt it all together to make sure everything aligns correctly and weld it in place.

It makes the wiring harness fit and can allow the proportioning valve to fit correctly. I designed my mount after I did my first 3.2 conversion in 1993.

Jeff,

You are correct, you will have to re-locate the brake p-valve and have to cut a slit or hole for the heater pull. I have to update my product description because the 75-76 year models have to have these mods in order to be installed.

If you don't want to do those mods I would be willing to give you a refund.

I also appreciate feedback so that I can make my products better and easier to install.

thanks,

Dave

The top mounting hole is about 1.5" down from the engine shelf. They are 8mm x 1.25 nuts welded in. I like to use flanged nuts for this sort of thing because they're easier to weld in.

Can you expand on that!

By the top mounting hole do you mean the top of the bulkhead mount being 1.5" down from the metal of the engine shelf? That can't be what you mean!

What bolts are you talking about welding in? Are you are talking about the mounts for the p-regulator?? If so that makes more sense! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dave, for your documentaion, a lot of 74 cars have this as well. Just an FYI. The switch was sometime in that model year.

After spending some time test fitting and cutting this is what I ended up with!

It was way to much work and I should have just purchased the one made by a914guy.

It would have much easier and it would be done by now.

Here is a914guys for comparison!

Maddogs would be fine for 70-74, If you added the instructions on drilling the new holes and cutting off the bottom it would probably be OK. I would also say that a little wider on the wire bracket would allow you to replace the harness if need be! The way it is now the harness will not be able to be removed if there is a problem!

Well, here it is installed with the first coat of primer!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

All in all it seems to fit fine. It is a bit tight around the harness and could cause some chaifing over time and I did some significant modification to make it fit but I think it will work fine!

Todays progress!

I have now installed the early brake lines and I am trying to find the right rivet-nuts to move the Pressure Regulator!

Can anybody provide the dimension from the top of the bracket to the engine shelf?

Everyone told me to mount it 7" from the bottom or 6.5" if lowering it for a FI engine!

I mounted it at 6 15/16ths and figured I could space it up if needed!
