Been a little busy, just finishing these up. The ones closest are pretty much done, they will all be in the finished pile tonight.

Powder next week.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) These look closer to the old Renn-metal products. He made one with his trailer tie down brackets on the front that I have been thinking of duplicating. I love his tie downs on the front, the rear is a different story, but I just welded my one set to the arm.

The design error was not due to his design I used it for my own rear swayer mount for the rear drop links.

I prefer to tie down via the chassis and keep suspension movement to a minimum. I have wheel wraps, suspension wraps. But just hooking to the tie downs was fast and easy and reduced the unintended mileage added to the shocks.

I may be crazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I will have these in hand Tuesday with fresh powder on them.

I didn't like the adapters I made so, I'm working on the adapters and will have ready in about 10 days.

The new ones will be $25 when ready and I will keep the GB open until They are complete + a week or two. If you want them you can wait.


BUT the good news is I will GIVE you the ones I made. no charge. Will cost more to rework them than bend up new metal.


They work but need the hole located up a little more (in my opinion) You be the judge, may save you $25

Thanks for your patience,
mark

Hi Mark,

Do you have a picture of the adapters?

I have your bracket attached to my car and the Harbor Freight Tow Bar. I leave Tuesday (early AM) for California and would like to have something in case of catastrophic failure...

I arrive at Rennsport Thursday in the 914 Corral.

Thanks!

Here's the adapters mounted on the harbor freight bar. Mine are the big ones if you can't tell. You can use the bolts that come with the bar to mount these.

Just picked up from powder today and will be packing up to be ready to ship tomorrow. I have a few LE air dams left in stock and will have more end of next week.

Mark - thanks for the detailed update and images.

I don't think I have time to order these and get delivered before Rennsport - but it is exactly what I need - well done.

Is anyone from 914Rubber coming to Rennsport that can hand deliver? I plan on driving the car both ways from Durango - but it is nice to have a plan B.

Matt is planning on being there. I can send him with some stuff. We have all the hardware you need to change out (as the 3/8" steel adds length to the requirement for the hardware, as well as spacer tubes for the front bolts.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that we include the mounting hardware you need to install these so you will not need to make a trip to the hardware store looking for bolts.

If your front end has any tweaked you can add a washer or two.

Once again - you guys are the best.

I look forward to having these adapters on hand in case something happens on the 1000 mile return trip!

YES, I'd say you are 1/2 way there. No need to remove the air dam as you have the clearance.
