Thread: Suspension bolts to body needs

    Suspension bolts to body needs

    Hey Guys !! We are putting the suspension from Elephant back on my 1971 911 and need bolts that attach these pieces to the body. Our old ones were hard to remove years ago and were either cut chopped or man handled and would like nice original ones. Elephant does not have any. Anybody have some ?? Or other leads for similiar bolts ?? Thanks guys and would like nice bolts to go with the nice restored parts. George Kehler

    there is another guy also

    BUT, you are putting on an improved, modern suspension "bushing" setup - it is not concoursable, nor period correctamento, so... why worry about nits on the bolts?

    use titanium or some nice ductile steel

    Get them from the dealer, there are no more critical fasteners in the car. You do not want junk with questionable provenance in the car.

    This guy is on the this site with the handle of thenewgarage. This is his web site www.thenewgarage.com. Might be worth checking out. Know nothing about them.
