Can't bring your car to me in CT? You can now do this project yourself or with the help of a local 914 shop.
Price $920 plus shipping.
The kit includes templates for frame cutout location, a holding fixture for the new pieces, and all the sheet metal parts needed to complete the installation.

Do you sell or rent the jig for locating the stock suspension console if it has been removed for rust repair?

Cost?

Thanks,

Chris

In my experience no jig is needed to install an inner console in the stock location. It pretty much only fits in one spot. Tack it in place, then attach the trailing arm to verify the position is correct before fully welding.
Having said that, I would rent a fixture to you if you wanted. Price- $50. Deposit required - $200. $150 refunded when the tool is returned.

Interesting . . . I'd probably feel better using a jig, I will probably be hassling you about renting one in a couple of months.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Very cool! Do you have any photos of the installed parts?

I've been looking over these guys work:
http://www.vehiclecraft.com/pictures/Cust_...Peare/index.htm

And have been meaning to post here to generate a little discussion among 914 chassis gurus in the know.

We can build it! We have the technology! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/calvin.gif)

Hello, I'm new to the 914 lifestyle. Can you tell me exactly what this is supposed to do and why I would need it in a V-8 conversion? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Hi Rob,
This modification is primarily valuable to guys running extremely lowered cars on race tracks. Another potential application is if you want to use much larger than stock diameter wheels.
Raising the pickup points helps restore the correct geometry of the suspension of lowered cars. My parts are also much less flexible than the stock suspension pickups.

I have made no upgrade to the camber adjustment mechanism. The stock shims are used.
