Just bought my 914-6 GT and the front oil cooler shroud is just resting in the frunk. Not excited about drilling into this beauty… is Velcro a crazy idea? What did ya’ll do? Pics?

A magnet strip glued to the shroud may accomplish what you are looking for.
Another alternative may be gluing a nut onto the floor so you can screw into it without drilling a hole. |

I bit the bullet and we installed riv-nuts; the shroud is aluminum and not going anywhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You are cutting a big rectangular hole in the floor so how bad can it be to drop in some riv nuts or similar.
I’m building a big metal box that will be welded in but have a removable access panel for the cooler and a/c condenser. It won’t look at all like the GT piece but I don’t really care as long as it looks nice. I feel like the fiberglass shroud is more of a race piece than how I plan to use the car. |

Hope you will share this in another thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
