Rear Hinges For Humpty Dumpty

Robert Linton · 02-01-2006, 06:34 PM

Saved approximtely 67% of the weight.

Them look nice. Do you have any current pics of the whole car?

Robert Linton · 02-01-2006, 06:50 PM

No.

mbrouder · 02-01-2006, 07:12 PM

When will you?

Cupcar#12 · 02-01-2006, 07:34 PM

exquisite....

What? No carbon fibre?

They must be made of unobtanium then - but they look very nice.

Hi Bob,

Did you by any chance replace the long central tunnle cover with a carbon fibre piece? The stock piece is about 10lbs and I've been considering replacing it with a honycomb carbon fiber piece on my car.

Hinges look very light and also look like they incorporate the normally separate bracket for the Turbo decklid into a one piece design.

Two birds with one stone= good engineering.

Geoff - i believe the tunnel is already done in carbon on the GS.
Good eye Bob

Titanium I assume...

Your parts make the Porsche Factory green with envy!

That's neat - it is a part I've never really looked at on my own car until I saw this post. Fun stuff!

From the series of posts over the years, I bet you have enough stock parts laying around to recreate the original GS!!!

Would that make the original GS a clone?
