Does anybody anywhere know where to find the torsional rigidity of the 914 with the roof off vs. roof on vs. steel roof (916) ?
Thanks in advance. |

Not what you asked, but bracing the internal core structure of the car the longs and rear firewall is the place to do it rather than the top unless you want to loose the roof and weld the car closed.
