OK, so what do I do with these, 911 swingarms Options

[ahdoman]

One of my neighbors brought these over to me and left them in my yard. He says he thinks they are from an early 911. Is there anything of value on these? If so, what are they worth?

A fair amount of early 911 guys want to switch from the steel to aluminum control arms. If you sell off the handbrake parts they'll be of less value to the potential buyer. Besides, those handbrake assemblies are for the larger bearings and require a bit of work to fit onto our cars. Easier for a handbrake guy to look at a slightly earlier set-up.


Offer them on the Pelican 911 board.

One problem the potential 911 buyer may have is the rear shocks. The mounting geometry has changed from the early steel arms to these. The bolt on these is not only thinner but further back on the arm. The actual body of the 911 was changed in 74 to accomodate this, where the shock mount channels/tubes are angled to reflect the change in the control arm.

Some Koni's may not fit and, the early Koni's (because of the bolt size) would for sure have to change.

Again, offer them as is and sell on the Bird Board for $3-400
