Were the few 916's equipped with the GT stiffening kit?
Other than the obvious rigid roof, were there any chassis stiffening improvement to handle the larger powertrain/gearbox? |

QUOTE(Maltese Falcon @ Feb 1 2025, 10:17 PM)  This is how the 916 nose cone transaxle mounting hardware has been running in my biturbo / flatfan car for the last 30+ years. I do use custom made T6 aluminum solid rear mounts though. They're in the wrong place...should be between the casting and the trans mount. When in the correct place they are often installed wrong side up. BUT...racers sometimes place them wrong side up to stiffen engine/trans location. Attached thumbnail(s)
