RSR engine support Q and pic
 

Did the RSR (964 or 993) models have this type of engine bracket?? It's aluminum.
It's listed for 350 € , kinda steep, no?
Anyone have a partnumber??

Rennline offers a similar one, advertised as an RSR style bracket. I have one. :)

Who makes the bracket at the top? Looks very different in detail to Rennline (or original)- aluminum vs stainless, and I can't see horizontal flanges/ upper and lower lips in the piece at the top? Instead it looks like a thicker flat plate? If so I think it's a questionable design- those lips were key for strength to weight ratio. Any other pics?
That a 911 RSR style carrier, not 964 or 993. The original porsche part did have similar holes, but I believe it was steel and had a lip welded at the top and bottom...

Earlier version of the Rennline...

What I thought, I guess it's a knock off, not worth the money....
This is the only pic.

I got mine form here in the UK:

Thanks, great stuff on the first one and closeby too!

If it is aluminium it will need to be about 3 times the thickness to have the same stiffness as a steel part, which means it is about the same weight.

Ity is also likely to have a relatively poor fatigue resistance and could well crack in a relatively short timescale.

We are just making a batch of RSR Engine bars from an extra high strength steel.

We have chosen Domex S700MC as it is ductile, weldable and extremely strong but doesn't have any weight penalty on a conventional steel. It will have great resistance to cracking and permanent deformation.

They will be ready in about 10 days.
