Hi all,
I'm looking to install a front sway bar on my 70'. After going through all the effort to track one down and install it i would much rather end up with a 19mm bar rather than the stock 17mm.

First question: Does anyone have a 19mm bar lying around?

Second question: What 911's came with a stock 19mm through the body front bar? (this information would make it much easier to track down a used bar)

Third question: If i am unable to find a 19mm bar, does anyone have a stock bar that they'd be willing to part with real cheap? (sorry, i'm a poor college student who will probably be addicted to autocross within the next week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) )

On a side note, I'm going to my first autocross this weekend: the MOWOG event in St. Cloud MN. Any members attending? It would be nice to have someone with experience to give me some pointers. It should be fun to get out there in my car with no sway bars and cheap street tires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif).

Thanks

David

first of all... i know the poor college thing. doin that too <_<

secondly, a stock bar for a 914 is 15mm.
third...biggest STOCK through body bar was an 18mm from a 1976 930 (930= 911 turbo)
fourth...

weltmeister makes an aftermarket 19mm bar.
some say, if your going through all the work of an install, get an adjustable BIG bar and set it at its softest. (so you can go bigger than a 19 at any time)

me? i love my tarretbar 23mm
