Thanks Justin and Frank! Hopefully this thread will help someone out one day.
Thanks for the warning Alex. I think your 100% correct...one more reason to look into welded pipes I suppose. What are you doing for the coolant pipes?
Not sure on the exact height, but it does fit under the glass....barely!
Your welcome over anytime Vidal. The girls help me keep that place spotless :thumbsup:
See you next week!
That's pretty cool
Where the corrugated pipe enters underneath the aluminum, make certain it isn't touching the aluminum panels, otherwise it'll get sawed through in a hurry (they have like 0 durability, at least based on my experiences)

Looks good!
I used corrugated tubing like you did in the same location, except I've used vinyl Aeroquip cushion clamps to hold it down and into place so it can't rub on anything
Try buying clamps, connectors misc. in large bulk. I've used these guys Del City - Wiring Products and Professional Electrical Supplies for loom, clamps etc. It's nice to have bags of 50 to 100 pieces on the shelf versus running down to napa and buying 5 pcs. for a 1/3 of the price of 50. It's not as fancy as the Summit/Jegs offerings but it gets the job done. Your results may vary.
Yos -- BTW - looking good.

Hey Mike! There's nothing there right now. I'm planning to build an aluminum plate to secure it to the beam. I'll post pics and can send you a diagram if you like. Should be pretty straight forward...
Mike is right about the transaxle Matt. It's a Porsche G96.50. At least thats what it's supposed to be...
I'm in a similar place. I have a G96/96 from a 2004 Porsche GT3. What I will likely do is get a salvage transmission mount and fab a bracket to attach that to the upper brace. Since I have a full Porsche drivetrain, I may even get rid of the motor mount plate between engine and transmission and just use the stock front motor and transmission mounts. That's how the drivetrain sits in a Porsche.
But that's not what this thread is about. Regarding just the transmission, the part number for the current and most up to date transmission mount for a G96 is 997 375 033 03. In looking at the parts DB, anything from a 996 tiptronic (not manual), 996 GT2/Turbo/GT3, 997.1 base model tiptronic (not manual), 997.1 GT3 and likely more 997's should work, as they all reference this part number as the current replacement part. $250 new, but I'm sure you can get them fairly easily from LAPD or DC Auto. Note that base Carrera with manual are a different part number.
Hope this helps.

Yos...can you share the brake line clip part numbers with us as I can't seem to find them on the Summit website.
Here's the Summit part numbers Ken. They are a pain to find on their site.
MFY-1018813 Single in Red
MFY-2028813 Dual in Red
They have a bunch of styles, sizes, and colors. Check them out or even order them here. They might even be cheaper than Summit :thumbsup:

Thanks Yos! Did it take more than one set of 8 single size and one set of 8 dual to complete the brake and clutch lines?
Just looked it up on their website...10/32" stainless I'm assuming is the bolt size. The 1/4" must be for the larger sizes.

No Problem Ken. I think you'll be fine with 8 and 8. I ended up using p-clamps around the front wheel area anyways. They helped to squeeze the lines out of they way of the coolant tubes.
The clamps come with philips head 10-32 screws I believe. In the spirit of over-doing things...I bored the holes out and used 1/4-20 allen heads on all of them
