Just had a look at your ebay shop and found these 2 bush kits, can you explain what the difference is in them? They supposedly do the same job but specify different years and look the same. I suggest that the first kit is for the 1969> LWB models and the latter is also for the same models not SWB 1965-1968

Front suspension (A arm) bush kit for Porsche 911 1968 - 1989 - £52.85

Porsche 911 1965 to 1989 Front Wishbone/Control Arm Bush Kit - SuperPro Poly - £55.40

I had it confirmed by Pelican Parts that their advert for the same bushes wouldn't fit the pre 1969 models and they agreed that it shouldn't refer to 1968 models as porsche change their models in September. My car was registered 1 December 1967 but is a 1968 model year with all the unique fittings that make it dam difficult to get parts.

912 Long Wheelbase car, introduced in 1968/69, rear wheels moved back 57mm, other changes included flared wheel arches. Quote from history of the 912.

Hi Nick
I feel I must apologise as you were absolutely correct. The 68 suspension is a mixture of the early suspension but with the later bushings. This I found out when I stripped it down. In fact I purchased the relevant bushes from your Ebay sale. Will investigate further next time before I open my big trap or should I say put pen to paper or even tap the keyboard.
Regards
Dave
