The drivers side looks like its beveled for the shift rod and the oil cooler line.




Yup driver side is beveled on stock ones but so far none stock shift rod and non stock oil line is the issue..

In progress investigation

I think the 914 side shift console may be further from the transmission centerline than a 915/916 trans. But in any case it will pay for Ben to build for, let's not say worse case but build in enough room to make most combinations work without modifications to the heat exchangers. I'm sure most buyers, once they receive the product, will want to install them, have them fit correctly, and then drive and enjoy.
I can tell you the look and feel of the heat exchangers are first rate. The metal is all heavy gauge. The welding is second to none. All the guys at the shop are impressed with the product. Now Ben is just making sure they will work for everyone.

Mark is going to send his driver side back to me for some small mods.. Passenger side is good to go so we can proceed there for sure.. Much needed info so we can make it work for everyone.

Ben,
I'm curious about the 901 Patrick Motorsports shift rod. It used to rub on my stock heat exchangers before I switched to the 916 gear box.
Since I don't have that problem, I will take the one your having problems with.
Lol ...

We looked at our tacked up boxes tonight with reference pictures from Mark and have a way to make everything work.. The one thing is the one spot by the knuckle closest to the trans shift mechanism is actually 1/2" narrower then what is stock. So there is no way that linkage would work with stock heat exchangers.. More good info..

Look what Santa dropped off early.
Merry Christmas to me!

Beautiful work Ben. I am tempted to hang these on the wall and just look at them as art (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks!!

Between this thread and the 904 build I'm in awe of the talent of some of this group! Come March I'll be eyeballing a set of these.

Nice work,I like the way you set upon a project such as this and just get on with it ,few questions..wondering why you never used a merged connector @ the junction of the 3 pipes ?
Like what you have done with the heater boxes,they appear to have a larger displacement that the stock ones, would you think that would benefit heater performance ?
Would the stainless steel generate more heat than mild steel ?

I believe the merged collector added $450 to the price tag. The 914 lot is a bunch of CSOB's. Me included (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Stainless doesn't transfer heat as well as mild steel but once it's hot it will retain it

Merge was just as close to original as possible without adding a bunch of cost.
