Interesting, thanks for posting.
I wonder what it would’ve been if he put a chassis bracing bar (as is commonly done) between the shock towers? |

QUOTE(Tdskip @ Dec 8 2018, 04:05 PM)  Interesting, thanks for posting. I wonder what it would’ve been if he put a chassis bracing bar (as is commonly done) between the shock towers? Hey 914 world! That's my video. I agree that the strut tower brace probably won't change the torsional rigidity much. At least the way I measured it. I'm not saying they aren't useful, but as someone else mentioned the cross brace prevents the towers from flexing in and out. I plan to make one of these diagonal things and I think this will improve the test results some.  Stay tuned as I will repeat this test after each improvement made. I would expect similar results with a 914 chassis. Maybe someone here will do something similar which would be cool. Thanks for watching the vid guys. Tom |
