conversion to 911 underbody front sway bar, what parts do I need Options

[shuie]

I want to install a later style 911 sway bar on my '71 914. I am not going to 5 lug and I do not want to get into changing the struts on my '71 or swapping an entire 911 front suspension onto the car. I just want to use the later 911 under the body sway bar with the early 914 struts & non vented brakes.

I know I need the tabs for the A-arms. Can I use the 911 A-arms and keep my early struts? Will the early 914 balljoints work in the 911 A-arms? Do I need the aluminum cross member from the 911?

TIA

i did this about 15 yrs ago

- same reason - oem bar was cracking the body & i did not think it was a good thing going scca racing that way

bought a complete 911 cross member & lower arms - my sixer already had 911 Bilsteins on it so it was an easy swap

you could fabricate these on your oem arms by getting the parts online from Speedway Motors in Nebraska

here's a picture of the 911 bar, 911 lower arms with tabs - you also can just make out the attaching bracket location at upper left

.


i'll look for another picture better showing the attaching points to body & post later
