If you are going to order a new IM you might consider some options I have created and added to my new car:
1. A welded on jack pad at all four corners for both convenience with floor jacks and use at service stations that don't have drive-on lifts.
2. A welded on combination jack pad and tow hook centerd on the bottom front suspesnion tube. This is handy for lifting the whole front end when you want to do a grease job, etc.
3. A removeable access plate on the bottom center of the car underneath the "hockey stick" and shift coupler. This for ease of adjusting shifting when necessary or ease of replacing the "hockey stick" seal in a 901 transaxle.
4. Internal key locks for front and rear deck lid cable pulls - good security.
5. If using a Porsche 901 transaxle, Henry designed and made an upgraded mount/hanger arrangement using VW type 2 rubber mounts.
6. A CO2 (or your choice) fire extinguisher mounted on the shift tunnel forward of the gearshift lever.
7. If you live in a colder climate, the Espar gas heater. They aren't cheap but you'll have instant heat when necessary and complete freedom of choice for exhaust systems (no heater boxes, etc.).
8. A set of Alex Bivens' aluminum Porsche 356A replica wheels; actually they are clones of an RS Spyder wheel but look like 356A. Available in 5.5"x15" and 6.0"x15". They are not made to mount Porsche/VW style hub caps but can have the mounting spring clips installed. They only weigh about 10 lbs. each and won't rust.
