Holly Moly! I was stripping my latest uggly duckling project and finally got to unbolting the bumpers. OK...never took off bumpers on a late 914...cool just unplug harness and two bolts...wow how easy. Put my air racket to work and then it happended...it felt like an engine fell on me!!! Holy Crap! Those bumpers are heavy...I need a bigger motor! I've always heard people mention that they were heavier but had no idea what a differnce than the earlier bumpers. I'm going to have to ad NOS to this 1.8. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
