There's been a lot of talk about these lately. They're 12 gauge steel making them difficult to fabricate, unfortunately they're no longer available from Porsche, and tragically, nobody makes a replacement for them. So let's figure out what can be done.

Is it my imagination or does it look like seam welding could help the overall strength of this assembly?

QUOTE(mgp4591 @ Jun 13 2016, 05:39 AM)  Is it my imagination or does it look like seam welding could help the overall strength of this assembly? I think you're absolutely right, I'm going to see what's up this weekend. I'm also thinking about adding a little triangular piece in this area:  And an apology to mbseto, I should have known that as the early phone watcher I'd have nothing better to do at work this morning and should have brought the templates in to scan (I'll have to do them here at work anyways...). I'll try and see if I can trade an opening duty with somebody for later this week. |
