Front suspension

I've been out in the garage today, and mighty chilly too, sorting through the various boxes of parts that came with my 356. And discovered not really to my surprise that I am missing a few parts. The most critical being the torsion arm links. I believe that is how they are described, they are the knuckly pieces that link the two trailing arms and hub spindle. I am looking at a VW manual because I have lent out my 356 manual and I have been unable to find a suspension schematic on the web. So any kind folks out there in DDK land got a pair they could flog me? Mine's a 356B T6 if that makes any difference. (and if you could point me in the right direction to see a parts breakdown plan that would be most helpful)
(and a happy and prosperous new year to you all).

You can download the PET catalogues here http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesan ... catalogue/

Hope that helps!

The PET system is ok but wise to remember that someone has copied the original books over to a computer system, so there are mistakes.

I could fax over pages from original parts books if it helps.

We should have everything in stock but I do hate selling this stuff outright as we need the parts to sell exchange rebuilt stub axels.

All the best
Paul.

Dear James, thanks for your response. I have already tried to access this through Pelican's web site but I keep getting 'dokument nicht gefunden' - file not found. Maybe World Porsche are deleting all the old stuff. Hey I see you are from NZ, do you know a good mate of mine - Steve Rasmussen of Europacific, he is mainly into race car prep. He sends me 'Spiel' every now and then.

I can see it using Firefox, but not Internet Explorer

I've found Jim at EASY to be good for selling parts

Hi Paul, thanks for your response, I have just had my stub axles remachined for 944 disc brakes so unfortunately I have no exchanges unless you want some 944 axles. Anyroad I'll be giving you a call this morning. I don't have a fax facility so if the parts breakdown could be accessed on line, this would be most helpful.

Mike you da man, thanks for printing it out, everything else is nicht bloody gefunden - no funden. Hope you're surviving the cold up there North of Watford. I've been in the garage all day, a mild and sunny 3 degrees down here. Thanks again.

Hi James, thanks for the info mate, you are not going to believe this but I was driving over the Bay Bridge in SanFrancisco only last week. So I was a stones throw from Easy Parts. I was on my way to Sacramento to spend Christmas with an old pal. Anyroad I'm back in Los Angeles at the end of this month so if I can't locate these bits in the UK I'll see if they can Fedex the stuff to my hotel. Thanks again pal.
