Cool deal. I have a 915, but have not tried it out yet (still have lots to do) I have heard the Berg 5 welds an extension onto the main shaft for the 5th gear. I don't like the sound of that personaly.

A solid main shaft is also availible too.

Test fitted the 968 CS rear shocks and springs. They will clear the body by far, glad I'll be able to use them, they are too nice not to. Porsche uses these with the 25.5mm torsion bars, so will I.




Parts List. Please note that the top bolts are just a few mm too short to be used with the cup brace bushings in my case. I will either shorten the bushings somewhat or use longer bolts. The lower bolts are for use with Porsche alloy trailing arms.

Hi

Very nice work, 46 IDAs bring back painful memories, I had some fitted to a 2.1 WBX in my old 1302. I sold them cheap to friend many years ago when I went EFI, I still get offers to buy them on the internet.

Steve

Ohh no! ... Thanks for the picture. They must have turned up in an unconventional way, or you might have known where they were used on originally.. or maybe you did and just let them go too quickly.

Like the pan I have now, traded against NOS 912E heads (among other things) I couldn't sell 'em for the life of me.. but they are no longer available .. and cost me one Mexican VW pan each a few years back ... but even that is not the same a set of 46 IDA's.

I know a retired Porsche mechanic who has more than one set somewhere in his bed room, he does want to sell them, but between the lines I can tell he wants thousands for them ..
