I'm planning on renting an engine hoist today to lift my 914 up onto the body stand I built this weekend.
I saw some posts referencing mounting onto the seat tilt adjust brackets? Are these the two vertical brackets that hold part of the "tooth gear setup" for that connects to the tilt adjuster handle / allows the seat base to move up and down? If so, assuming I will have to remove seat base frames and the gear teeth to access the holes in these brackets. I also thought about just using a tow strap wrapped around the middle of the car? Anybody have ideas / thoughts / pictures? |

I would have made the gussets bigger. You need about 3 times the mechanical fasteners on them. If the corners are supposed to support at the donuts I would connect a stringer at the tops. What I don't know. Will the body flex as you roll it around?

I just used two floor jacks and some jackstands. I got it high enough to roll under the car. Pretty easy - did it myself (a few times). That all depends on the height of your posts though. The wood is a bit scary - I was lucky to have a friend with a welder. I have added gussets since these were taken back in 2011.
