900 rear Upper Spring Supports
Posted: Fri May 21, 2021 9:32 am
This is for my 1988 900 SPG. It is a street car that sees a lot of backroad driving but is not a rally car nor will it be. I sort of hate to muddy up this forum with a general question -- but the rear spring supports (upper, I think you'll refer to these as spring "perch") are bending due to corrosion (on the carbody/vertical adjacent the spring support if that makes sense) and I'm taking the car over to a welder on Monday to have new supports fabricated. Besides just beefing up the plate and doing a good job tying in with the car body, I'm not sure what else may be done. Since this is not a rally car and there's no additional cage/body support going into it, I'm wondering if there is anything that should be done differently? Has a member here done anything with design of rear upper spring perch for the 900? Thanks! so much.
