I almost bought that car Steve, I still to this day have not gotten to see it in person. When do I get to see it? Do you drive it yet?? I remember the brakes needed work.

So tell us a little about yourself, what do you do? Are the cars just a hobby? The car is at your workplace, what do you do there? I am just over in Costa Mesa right next door to Santa Ana.

That front bar is exactly like the one onmy 70 project. "cheesy" no rear bar for me. The P.O. yesterday was tellin me the one day he did drive it thecar handled really well.

"Hmm cool" I said wonder what it will do with real bars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Oh I know awesome.

[skline]

I dont recall seeing a front bar in any of his pictures, just a rear bar that looks a little different from the stock one. I would be interested to see that bar up close.

[skline]

Ok, I went back through and saw the underbody one. Didnt the 911 have that kind of bar on it?

I need that kind of sway bar for my car. I have a large fuel pump and accumulator in the path of the stock bar under the gas tank. Anyone know where I can get one?

[Katmanken]

Coupla things,

First, what is the paint code for aubergine? I 've looked at the Porsche colors at a number of paint sites and have never been able to find it.

I might paint my car that color if I can find it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Second, is it metallic or solid color?

Rick, the 911 used a sway bar like that and from what I understand, it can be used on a 914 also.

Cool! I'm checkin the 911 BBS's.

kwales, Did someone remove the metal tag with the paint code from the drivers door jamb? Look between the hinges.

(sorry if you already posted info about the removal of the tag I speed read here and miss things)

Rick,

I think I have one of those under my builder car. It's a heck of a lot larger diameter than the stock one under my 2.0 parts car. I'll look today to see if it looks like the pic but it does attach to the rear wheels with brackets and doesn't use the ball in socket factory design.

PO ran it without a front bar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I wasn't sure what to do with it as large rear bars don't seem to be the handling thing for a 4 cylinder.

Then again, a large rear bar might be just the thing for a large mass 928 engine.

Yep, 74 and later (through 89) 911s came with a swaybar like that
The later the bigger (22mm for the 3.2 carrera's - of the top of my head)
It shouldn't be mounted like shown here though... It mounts to the x-member
Also the tabs on the a-arms are different

If your not using them let me know! I would like to try to add sway bars over the winter.

Thanks for the picture. I was very curious about the control arm attachment method.

[Jeroen]

There's a big rubber bushing in the tab and the bar "slides" into it form the side
It's a bitch to install on the a-arms

If memory serves me right, the 2 tabs under the body mount on the same bolts as where the x-member tabs mount to the body (footwells)

Unless you have 74 or later a-arms, you'll need to get some

All said... If I were you, I'd just move the fuelpump and use a through body bar (preferably an adjustable one)

[914forme]

If you look closely at the pictures the bars are mounted out in front of the arms (toward the front of the car). The 911 factory bars mount toward the rear of the car and on to the cross bar rear supports!


These are Addco bars!!!!!!!!

Addco's web site

Link to their Porsche page which has both the front and the rear bars listed.

Never used them on a 914, I have used the for tow vehicles before thou, they are just okay in my book.

Sorry to burst bubbles out there.

They 911 bar will work for the Allien, but you need to swap out ot a 911 front end, these addco's might be worth a shot. BTW, they are sold in J.C. Whitney catalogs also.
