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 used an old bumper, welded a hook on it for the hoist.
Second time I did it, I removed the suspension first, then just got a few guys and lifted it by hand.....with no suspension it's maybe 400lbs.... |
