Were the few 916's equipped with the GT stiffening kit?
Other than the obvious rigid roof, were there any chassis stiffening improvement to handle the larger powertrain/gearbox? |

For some reason those cup washers /transaxle mountings look out of place with what I usually see ¿¿
But I think that with the 916 hot rod 2.4 mfi, the stiffening kit should be present. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/marty914.jpg) |
