Need source for 962 style lower A arm for coil over on 914-6. I attached a pic. Need to replace 8 ea 16" Fuchs/barrels with 18" inexpensive steel or mixed material race wheels. The Fuchs are breaking with 450/500bhp. Sources? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Fuchs barrels ?
Are your wheels built up from Fuchs centers ?.....then they're not Fuchs anymore. High horsepower is breaking front suspension.....and wheels on a 914 ? |

Are you Fuchs real or copies? Fuchs are used on Turbo Carrera’s Bob B They are Fuchs centers in 10.5" and 12.5" x 16" barrels. Two damaged, six ok., want to go to same in 18" due to used time supply, 16" tires are somewhat limited too Hoosiers. Will sell if I find 18s. |

Do you have a better picture of that control arm? It looks pretty easy to fabricate from scratch...

Fuchs barrels ? Are your wheels built up from Fuchs centers ?.....then they're not Fuchs anymore. High horsepower is breaking front suspension.....and wheels on a 914 ? Centers, see above. POC Drivers and mechanics say these old Fuchs centers are breaking. My right rear went, car spun 180,snagged pit wall and slapped pit wall hard. Broke bell housing in 4 places, bent rear reinforced swing arm, both axles punched clean holes in the CV joints caps. Front arm was bent by wrapped front wheel. I need a source for the 962 style lower A arm. So right rear and right front suspension damage, and no cage damage. I have a rear swing arm from this site and a new reinforcement kit. |

Randy Beck built up the car, I've had it 24 years, last complete rebuild, cage replace, body, twin turbo, twin plug, 3.3L, and recently Steve Parker did some venous fabrication and sorted out the EMS, etc. It weighs 1700lbs wet, I'm185.

There are basically two really good choices with clickable links above. Elephant racing makes the most
exotic (expensive) version, then there is the Rebel Racing set too. These of course require coiler set-ups, as you know. Good luck, and we need a LOT of pictures. |
