The RSR crossmembers were forged. They are very hard to find. One of my customers bought one for his RSR and paid something like $7K and that was a while ago.

That is one of the things that worried me about that mount being made out of aluminum.

I'm also planning to use mine as a forward brace for the master.

Looks like I'll stay steel...

They tend to get bent when someone stuffs their 911 into a curb or worse. They don’t just bend on their own. Porsche used them on later G body cars, so much heavier than a 914. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them and if you are trying to trim pounds off the car, they are low hanging fruit and they look cool. It’s not a big performance upgrade, especially for the money but if you are already going “all in”, then they are just one more cool part to add to the list.
