[Britain Smith]

Well, I picked up my car from TCDesign today and as with all his work, I was highly impressed. I needed a custom engine mount bar in my Turbo 912 project to mount the type-4 engine to the stock 912 engine mounts. I did not want to make any modification to the car that were not reversable (i.e. cut out the stock engine mount or weld in new ones). The 912E uses a cast iron bar that mounts to the same place on the block, but connect to the body on the bottom of the frame rails. Due to the nature of those cars, that engine bar can get quite expensive. This bar was made out of 1" chromoly tubing and was duplicated right from the design that I made out of out cardboard. It incorporated an stock, early one-piece mount on the engine block and stock 911 engine/transmission mounts at the frame rails. He added a bit of triangulation for strenght and it is plenty strong. Now, I will hang the turbo off the side of it and maybe...just maybe someday I will have a running car.
