isn't the slot in the rear suspension console to adjust the suspension height? (LOL)

(yes I know those calipers have a spacer for vented rotors)

I am sure this will cause some flames but I prefer to make my own judgements about products available for our 914s. I spoke with @UROpartsman (Drew) about their 914/6 HD engine mount, he went on talking about some of their other offerings. Long story short Drew send a box of parts and I must say I was impressed. The fit and finish of the parts I have installed is very nice. The speaker grill and bright work pieces were the most impressive.

Your entire build is looking great. Attention to detail and regular progress; two great traits.

I remember being at the exact stage you're at on the solid mounts. (Except yours looks nicer!) You might want to 'depaint' the area for the trans ground strap when that step comes. Easily overlooked, but I get the impression you knew this already!

Keep up the great work. It's an inspiration for sure.
