On my /6 project, I have decided not to add the tub reinforcements on the inside rear wheel well, for a variety of reasons. I did decide that I wanted the dog-ear reinforcement, also for a variety of reasons.
I am building the whole thing from scratch and I will post a detailed picture sequence in the hope that some will find it interesting. I first bought some cold-rolled flat stock, 1/4 inch by 1.5 inch. I will say that I did not try to calculate if this resulted in a tang of the right strength, but it's what I used. There's 8 tangs required, 6 the same and 2 a little longer. To make the tangs, I began by drilling a 3/8 inch hole: Attached image(s)

This project is done (except for priming the paint that burned off, and painting it again), I'm pretty happy how it turned out.

Sweet! Seeing things like this have the potential to keep my 914 from ever getting finished. Somebody please convince me that there's no reason to do this on a street V8 914.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
