FS: OEM 996GT2/3 foam tool tray for 996TT
I'm selling an OEM 996GT2/3 foam tool tray which has been modified to fit the 996TT with the bose amp in the trunk. The right sided of the tray has been precisely shortened to accommodate the amplifier. This tray fits in place of the heavy inflatable spare tire and accommodates standard tools, the Porsche inflatable pump, and the Porsche seal-a-flat. The stock removable floor piece fits right over this tray just as it fits over the stock collapsible spare. Foam tray is sold empty. Just as is done on the 996GT2/3, you can save 40+ lbs by swapping to the foam tray.
$100 plus $15 shipping CONUS. Buyer responsible for any paypal fees.

do the GT3s have any extra support in this area for not having a spare?. I recall on the 993s the spare is part of the safety structure up front.

Who told you the spare is part of the structure?? I highly doubt a manufacturer could certify a car that would no longer be crashworthy once the spare tire was removed and put on the car. A vehicle has to retain its crash worthiness whether it's using the spare tire or not. Regardless, the front end is the same on all the 996 variants but if it gives you the warm and fuzzy I'd leave the spare in the trunk.

on the 993 boards body shops have seen crashes with and without the spare in place and much more damage occurred with the spare removed in most cases. I realize it is hard to compare as every crash is different. Also in the 993 manual I believe it says the spare is part of the strength in the front end.

Both my 1970 and 1973 911 the spare was part of the energy absorbing structure. So it is not a new phenomenon. Due to the spare standing up, or nonexistent, I doubt if 996 on are that way.

If you are not running a fuel cell, and just DEing the car I would leave it in, it does protect the fuel tank in a front end collision. This I have experienced myself. I had an 80 mile an hour glancing hit to the right front coming out of the kink at Road America. The spare tire took the brunt of the hit and spread the force of the impact across the front of the fuel tank rather than in one particular spot. I will post pictures when i get home tonight. Now I run a fuel cell so no more spare tire.

In the picture you can see that the right side frame rail buckled, we had to set the car on the frame rack and pull the right front corner to remove the spare tire, it was wedged between the gas tank and the front pan. and yes the hold down was in place at the time of the accident.
