New car has no cage, I know the 914 tends to flex and that the factory welded steel roofs on the 916 for what I guess was to help stiffen them, or was it for other reasons??
The 'glass top should help a little, but I was wondering about attaching tubes or the like from the factory roll bar to the windshield hoop to stiffen the car up.... Has anyone played with this before?? |
