Excuse my ignorance, but would these also be available for a 1966 912?

Yes the strut brace should easily fit with no problems

This is an image of my current design with stainless fixings, rose joints and EPC black finish. One mount has an addition hole for a triangluated cross bar if required.

Hi Anthony,

It would just be the end black coated mounts.

That would be great, if you get the order of 50 or more.

One thing Anthony.....

You could do with adding lock nuts to stop the strut bar from moving

Will try and do this but It is very hard to find an economic supplyer of M10 LH threaded bolts.

I'd be interested too - how much difference do they actually make?
2006 RHD 997 Carrera (but DDK remains in my heart - also now no longer)
1972 LHD 2.4T with '73 2.4T CIS motor - gone to a new DDK home
1994 RHD 993 Carrera - gone!
1968 LHD 911L - was the Wife's but now in new hands :-(

It does make a difference on the track or fast road driving. The angles will not need to be reset if you install carfully and slowly. But its always a very good idea to have the suspension set up as the 911 needs good balance.
