IIRC, the factory reinforcing plate was welded on the INSIDE of the fender wheel well. . The outside plate with the bushing and the inner nut plate sandwiched the body between. .
The factory only tack welded the inner plate, not all the way around. I've ripped out numerous factory setups with hard track use. . stress cracks at the bolt holes. Probably should be more substantially welded.
I disagree.
No other "plate" or reinforcing material was ever used on the installation of the OE front anti-sway bar than the component depicted previously, in the manner described (except that it also had 3 stich welds in addition to the many spot welds, on each side of that plate)
Ive personally stripped MANY original cars so equipped. None had any other inside support.
BTW, this installation CAN be preformed w/o removal of the tank, just take appropriate precautions when welding.
EDIT:If the suggestion that part 901.333.753.01 (support) was installed by the factory on 914's I'd say BS as Ive never seen one, but it looks like a reasonable update for factory equipped cars.
