Re: chassis stiffener

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

So, let me get this right.  My Spider will be stiffer for maybe 6 hours or 
so, and then the next time I get to a RR crossing the same old chassis flex 
will occur?

On a serious note, I've got both a '74 and '87 Spider in the driveway, and 
the '87 is quite noticeably less flexible than the '74.  The '74 is fairly 
solid, as '74's go, but nothing like the '87.  Why is the '87 so much 
better?  The only 'improvements' I can see from the underside are some 
extra chassis braces in the area around the gas tank, but no visible new 
bracing up front (in fact the '87 nose is bottomless, compared to the 
'74).  Is the chassis made from heavier steel, are the rockers different 
internally?
