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. |

AA did a steel roof (links above) and it has a fair bit of structure
For sure it adds stiffness to the chassis. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-179-1267671971.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-179-1267671991.jpg) This looks like a top notch job, but I still like a 914 as a targa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
