Need to buy parts for this project?So. Your 914 chassis is flexing pretty bad from rust? Replacing the long itself is kinda tricky. Building a V-8 conversion and want to add some stiffness to your chassis? Your answer might just be Brad Mayeur's longitudinal repair/reinforcement kit.Brad Mayeur is located in East Peoria, Illinois. He has created a kit that repairs and reinforces the longitudinal, and ties into the rear trailing arm.
The kit is simple to install, and requires only basic welding skills. I've done two now with very good results.Jim Sucharski,when he lived in Cedar Rapids) convinced me that I could do the work myself. It's a two piece kit that covers the entire clamshell and then ties into the rear trailing arm. The older kits were one piece, but Brad says this system provides a better, stiffer fit.

It's made of heavy gauge steel. About an 1/8than inch. The idea of the kit is to 'laminate' the exterior of the longitudinal from the seam up to just under the door sill.I've made up this 'how to' from experience and suggestions from the Rennlist. The second job went much smoother than the first, even though the car was in MUCH worse condition.I've divided the instructions into 4 sections: Tools and Materials, Prepwork, Welding and Finish work.Disclaimer: Please note. Brad includes instructions with his kit.
