yea, I know... the pics look worse than reality...
IF ANYONE, anywhere has these parts, send me a PM... I'm not keen on paying the $90 each for these from restoration design... just for these small spots... alternatively, can some plain sheet metal be welded here instead of the re-man parts? |

I am just about done with the same repair. You could probably just cut off the posts and support and weld on new ones. I got my parts from Tweeks $20 for both the post and support. Not sure about the front area of the rocker. Mine were solid so I didn't mess with them. You could probably just bend some sheet metal. I fabricated all of the patches using the side of my work bench and a BFH. They came out pretty close to the original. Not concourse quality but pretty nice.
Check out my progress thread. Maybe it will give you some ideas. Good luck!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Jack Post Repair |

LOL, I was replying to your thread, while you were replying to mine! what kind of metal did you use? thinkness? I'm thinking about just putting a plate in, instead of putting a jack post in at all... I'll fill in the hole for it on the rocker pannels.... but I want to use the right metal for strength... I liked your idea of spraying por15 in the long... I'll be doing that, since I'm cutting the holes anyway... I don't care about "concourse" quality... I just want to drive it and beat the hell out of it.. |

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I have to ask...
Why does anyone (other than the CW types) put the jack post back on? It seems like a lot of work for something I know I would never use. Does anyone use the jack post?????? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

I find the jack point very handy... a very quick way to lift the whole side of the car and get quick access underneath.
The square tubing keeps things from getting squirelly as long as the jack has a secure footing. Here I go AGAIN, making an ass of myself, sticking my foot firmly in my mouth... I'm such a pho king idiot. But, I like the factory jack points... not for the CW but for the FUNCTION. The factory jack with a socket is very FUNCTIONAL. Lift the car, put a jack stand under there... no risk of life or limb. Ok... I still want to learn from your experience... If you have EXPERIENCED a problem with factory jack points, PLEASE share! |

I think the main issue is using the stock JACK with the jack post... as I understand it has a tendancy to shoot off if the ground isn't level |

They are dangerous, if mine are at all crusty, they get cut off. I use a sizzors jack for mine. Small, won't colapse. Yes, the stock jacks can "kick" out if you aren't careful. They don't like gravel or hills of any sorts. Not one of Porsches/VW's better designs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |

As far as the stock jack.... mine recently failed on completely level ground with blocks on the tires (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) good thing i was at a gas station that happened to have a shop (rarity these days for sure) and the mechanics were there (even rarer!) so i saved my day and got a tire back on.

Agreed, crusty jack points are crap. But I'm talking about jack points that are repaired to solid. They quickly lift the whole side of the car and are secured by the square tubing that goes deep enough to solidly secure and anchor things. I've never seen a factory jack kick out sideways. If you have actually experienced a factory jack kicking out and dropping a car while connected to a solid jack point, please share. If a scissors jack is more secure than a square tubing insert into the body, please explain and I'll be happy to simplify my frame rail!!! That would be nice! I just need to know that's from experience and not theory.

should I invest in one of these: the interior long kit from engman?
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=ST&f=4&t=12376 or do you think just putting the patch in is good enough for a street car? |
