    Raj, my brain was recalling this photo and caption that I read some years ago (Long's book). I mistook what it meant as THE homologation car rather than the prototype. My bad.


    Sorry for the hijack Gib.

    Here are some pics from the day that show variations in flares. The yellow/black accents appears to be one of the early 'ST' versions (9110301558). Also, from LeMans 1970, #43 & #41 with wide-flared privateer STs (one with reverse mounted tie-downs). A rally version appears to be a SWB car with large flares but running with narrow tires in the snow. Lots of innovation on early 911s by privateers focused on winning. So even though that factory homologation version had narrow flares, privateers and presumably factory massaged offerings used the wider flares allowed under new rules. It was an exciting time for the 'little guy' with a passion to compete, and the 911 was the near-perfect base car to begin the chase.

    More "privateer" ST flares.

    These varieties were built by folks we all know over the past ten years.

    Is this a well known (in the Porsche community) shop doing the metal work?

    Randy, thanks for posting those pics of more recent 'privateers STs'. While most were not intended to win on the track (exception: Plavan's and yours for autox), they are all inspired by the alluring shape created with extended flares. They also have improved handling from wider wheels, stiffer suspensions, and significantly improved engines. Maybe there needs to be an 'ST Gruppe'.

    Here are more flares from the day (except Brumos at RRIV)....'viva la flare'

    Here is a shot of the dual oil cooler short lines , with hose connections done by Brad Davis (pic taken on his bench). Brad can crimp barrels and provide barbed connectors, male/female connections in 30 mm and smaller sizes, plus hoses in various colors and types. brad@nextmill.net

    I measured the necessary hose lengths and provided them to Brad. These short lines are the final step in the process for a poor man's way of connecting oil coolers to Elephant Racing (or your own) cross over lines for an ST dual oil cooler system. The short line is for connecting the return hard line from the cooler system (passenger side) to the oil tank.

    Gib:

    Lots of good work evident in that image, a lot more than meets the eye.

    Great looking set of lines. Hats off to you and Brad.

    Thanks for all the updates.
