I'm continuing my work on JLO (V8 SBC 914). The engine crossbar mounting bolts that attach to the frame of the car are about a 1/4" larger than stock 914 bolts. I'm using the RH hardware.
My question....did you guys dry fit the engine up where it connects, mark and then drill? Or are the tolerances of the RH parts exactly center to the Porsche stock cross bar and I just center the engine mount tabs in the drill press and open them up? Thanks in advance for the help. Bill P. |

Hi Roger,
Yes, in your picture the oblong slit in the metal needs to opened up for the RH bolts to fit. RH recommends larger bolts than stock as they have seen many failures with the stock bolt sizes being used with their kits. They include these larger bolts in their kits. I have trouble believing that the bolt would fail before the tab mount, but that's RH story. I already called RH and they said they just hog it out with a hand drill. I'll probably dry fit, mark and maybe put them on my drill press, but I didn't know if you guys had done this as well. Thanks, Bill P. |
