Hey,

OK. I am doing a swap with the front end of my '72 914. Can I use the existing crossbrace inbetween the 911 a-arms? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Under what conditions does the "FLEXING" occur?

like me in the car, up on the lift, at HPH, bleeding the brakes, brad asking me to turn the front wheels to the other side (of course wheels were off) and him yelling:

WTF?

you could see the aluminium cross member flex (twist), right then and there, no load on it whatsoever ...

that's why i went back to the steel cross member.
maybe i got a bad one, maybe not. i wasn't going to take any chances.
just a few ounces of weightsavings at a point where weight has the least impact (close to the ground) ...

i'd rather be on the save side on this one.

but hey, i'm sure you got *PLENTY* of "imperical evidence" to prove me and brad wrong!
right?
