In answer to drilling a hole.... a few points....
- I understand it won't be a hole to the "outside" of the car.
- it makes placing a tool on the underside surface ( to tighten a bolt) a bit difficult in terms of access.
- a hole "here" creates an interference in opening the smuggler's box door with the diagonal.
- why drill if you don't have to ?
- why call the Rennline product "overly complicated" when it avoids this hole?...just call it different.
Bill V....Porsche likely went with a single bar to gain some structural strength between the shock towers...in other words....maybe not specifically to address handling issues, but to address structural stiffness. Or maybe even they simply didn't have the room with enlarged gas tanks in place, and couldn't do it. The engineering principle of triangulation is still sound.
