Thanks John. I am glad that the race plates were a help to you on your fabs for Elvira. I have a number of projects in the works, but soon I will work on the front and rear bolt on 914 race eyes.
The trouble has been the different types of bumpers, valances and spoilers out there. It looks like I will have to do short runs of race eyes to fit a variety of optioned cars. I just finished 911 and 944 eyes (also Spec Miata) , but the 914 is much tougher. DLee |

New 914 front eyes that now utilize all three attachment points......Same price as before and it includes the longer bolt and the spacer required!
There was some concern from a few buyers about the unit effecting allignment specs when mounted between the torsion bar housing and the body. You will see they now mount on the outside of the housing! No concerns now.... Attached image(s) |

Has anyone used the trailer tie-downs on the rear along with a factory sway bar? It seems the bolt that the eyes would mount to would be too short by the time it went through the eye, sway bar mount, shock, and trailing arm.....Will they all work toghether? Is there a longer bolt (with the ball on the end) available to accomodate this set up?

Jason, the factory flat washer is removed and replaced by the eye to save space. DLee

Nice! Look for an order tomorrow! I've absolutely had my fill of wrapping an axle strap around the shock.........

Anyone have pictures with these installed with a stock front metal valance? I know I will have to cut a slit in it, just want to see how it looks. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Thanks for the picture Dave. I got set of front & rears as a door prize at the FFC06. If I could ask, do you have a picture looking straight from the front?

Here is one..... Hi David - I was all set to place my order until I saw this picture. I have a 916 front bumper, do you know if anyone has used your tow eyes with one of these? My concern is the two front lips on the 916. Attached image(s) |

While I don't have a picture of the eyes with a 916 front at the moment, I have attached a picture of the tow bar interface bracket that used the same base plate at the tie down eyes. You can see where I recommend that you cutout when you attach your tow bar, but in most 916 fronts there might be only the addition of a small slit under the "lips". DLee
