How precise do you need to be? The Googles say that a 930 is 69.75" at the rear flares. The RSR flares are not exactly the same profile as turbo flares but it should be very close. You can click the pictures in this gallery to get very high res shots of the flares to compare.

Sweet. 2015 pounds.

Conversion order 491? Difference between a base model and the RSR?

Flieger 11-29-2011 08:15 PM

Yup. M471 = RS Lightweight. M472 = RS Touring. M491 = RSR.

This says 65 inch but must be wrong, looks more to be the width for the 2.7 RS?

Unfortunately the width is most of the spec sheets is the max width which is at the mirrors. So the RSR an RS will appear to be the same width

the rear track for the RSRs varied from 56"(1421mm) on the '73 2.8RSR to 60.2"(1528mm) on the '74 3.0 RSR

I canīt understand that the mirror extend the aft fenders on the RSR and did not both the RS and the RSR came with mirror only on the drivers side?

I think I have got the answer, 70,7 inch, fender to fender.

I don't know where R/T got their measurements

here are the factory widths
930 1775mm(69.9")
SC/Carrera 1652mm(65.0")

the '73 2.8 RSR would be very close to the 930
the '74 3.0 RSR would be a couple of inches wider

I'm also sure that there is some variation in the earlier flares as they were hand installed until sometime in the late '70s
