Need this Suspension Nut & Bolt

Post by majordad »

The threads are damaged on this from a 1973 T fitted with Bilsteins. Any idea where I’d get them, or what thread they have ? It’s 14mm but an odd thread

Easy to get, these are even yellow passivated so look original.
Most sites also sell the nuts too.

I sacrificed originality in that area and went for over spec 10.9 tensile strength.
Black finish so look wrong, but it's one bolt doing a tough job, and not ideal if it lets go. Also easy to get.

Many thanks, as if by Devine intervention, an email arrived from Porsche Classic today, it links to some recently released parts, and it includes that bolt.
