Rear upright

Guest

Anyone have experience with the beautiful Ron Siple designed (I believe) rear upright? Is there any weight-gain? Does Mr. Siple have a Web-page, or e-mail?
It's this one: http://www.panteracars.com/Dscn1376rt01.jpg

Thanks.

Hi, Espen! I'm not familiar with Mr Siple's stuff, but I see one heck of a lot of precision welding there! I'd expect a considerable weight savings. My old Lotus- Formula Ford had welded rear uprights, and they were only a little heavier than a cast magnesium one. Good thing about welded-steel is, if things go wrong while driving, they bend a little instead of breaking like cast units will.
