Can you shorten the upright sections of the trans mount to gain a couple inches of upward movement?

Can you shorten the upright sections of the trans mount to gain a couple inches of upward movement Are you saying to cut the flat bars loose on top of the main bracket, and jack the trans up higher, and then reweld the flat bars?I'm also wondering if a different rubber mount could be fabricated, and located UNDER the 'flat bars' (instead of above)? ... looks like you could gain an inch or so there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) If you're planning on raising the rear suspension (as you mentioned earlier) with taller springs, you'll gain even more equality between the center-line of the trans output shafts and the center-line at the wheel hubs. That should straighten out the axle angles enough to cause a lot less wear & tear on the CVs. |

Sounds like 180lb are shorter than stock? https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914...ed-details.html I have the mounting plates on top now. I'm not sure how I could move the trans forward any? |
