After reading the hilarity of the reinformcement thread, I now have the sunroof seals made for post 85.5 cars. They will be £49 posted. I also have the headlining U shaped rubber trim coming as well.
On a note about the reinforcing brackets being dangerous, I find that hard to believe as the brackets are rigidly mounted to the chassis. Why would a steel bracket be designed to flex that has a reinforcing channel pressed into it. I would be interested what the supposed Porsche engineers have to say about it.

I didn't comment Al, but I am aware of an issue with them, which is that if you stiffen everything up here then eventually something will give there and the ARB links will fail in time. This is the price that you pay, because you don't often get something for nothing.

You didn't comment, but now you can't resist and the post is actually about Sunroof seals!

Yes to be fair, Sulzer's SUNROOF SEALS post has also referred to the brackets, which really shows how both of you and many more could of, and should of all been able to discuss such a component as any part , service or statement on any Postings. But we now know it was sadly and (Quite rightly) locked due to personal insults which as I've mentioned and the forum rules stipulate is not acceptable.

The Brackets are a Performance addition to stop the ARB deflecting as much as standard, they are not for everyone and / or any car lover who respectfully wants to keep there car as Stock and standard as possible.

Anything that is changed from original spec will always have compromises, and extra forces and loads put on any car will accelerate the rate of wear and tear. For those that want and enjoy modifying old or new cars they should and usually do know this, for those that are not interested in Racing a car on public roads and prefer a less taxing brisk pace we should all respect this.

I made some brackets out of flat bar years ago, probably made them too stiff TBH. Needed an 18mm rear AR bar to restore balance.
 
yes but back OT.... what about these seals?
How will they affect the handling?
Are they lighter than the originals?

...sorry [:)]

 
Probably depends whether the aerofoil section increases downforce -using the heater fan one could balance this to possible good effect-not sure if Bernoulli's laws apply inside Porsche 944 s.[:D]
 
I thought that after Jim Hall's Chapparal the fan assisted down force was banned! Are you proposing to use this at Curborough, Colin?
