Does anybody anywhere know where to find the torsional rigidity of the 914 with the roof off vs. roof on vs. steel roof (916) ?
Thanks in advance. |

The front A Pilars are the same as the 944, pretty much the same setup. Same gauge, same structure, etc.... Difference could be in the base as it attached to the cowl section.
Some of the GTs have bolted down tops, and they added reinforcement to the lower A pillar not the whole thing. these did make a difference. 916 steel roofs made a difference, just like any coupe does. Nothing will be as good as a proper cage. In Pano reprinted up fixin' they did do a test of frenquency variations on the 914 chassis. interesting read, I might have to look it up again. |
