Sway bar fitment


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I have a 1976 912E which as standard didn’t have a rear sway bar fitted. I am wanting to fit one and wondering if any G model sway bar would fit or if I need one from the same year?

I have seen one on EBay for a 1984 SC with drop links at a decent price but not sure if it’s a straight fit. 
 

thanks in advance

I can't recall, but check if your 912e has the mount points welded onto the chassis or the trailing arms have the mounting points for the drop links?  If they do then SC ones should be fine.

No the 912E would need an early rear ARB and drop link setup which has a different shaped bar and ball and socket type drop link which pops onto a ball joint type fitting on the rear arm, pic from the 912E PET parts PDF:

Thanks Jevvy, this is what I wondered but couldn't seem to find the answer myself. Much appreciated

Hi

I made the zinc plated parts on the right of the photo, to take a standard plastic bush and connect to an M10 rod end. You might be able to bolt the rod end to an SC roll bar?
