curious to know how much weight is saved with this change. Anybody know? Not much at all and in a position where it does not matter much. About as low in the car as you can get. Plus, i have seen them flex while mounted in a 914. I got rid of mine and went back to the steel cross member. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

Hmm. That's an interesting fact I didn't know about with the master. Thanks John.
Andy, I agree even if it saved quite a lot of weight it's not really in an area where you need to save it. I'm curious about the flex issue. What were the signs it was flexing? Thanks, Kelly |
