    Race car hood strut, shape, dimensions etc

    Hi!
    I am planning to recreate the original hood strut that 911 race cars had in the 60s and 70s. I know the strut bracket had a triangular(ash) shape and three holes with blind rivets fastening them to the hood.
    Does anyone here have the dimensions, hole pattern or good photos of the bracket and strut. I am thankful for any clues. Here are some photos I found online.

    Thank you!
    -Jacob

    You can still buy it from Porsche last time I checked. It's a 964 part number.

    Lifted from rennlist, I deleted the prices because 17 years of Porsche inflation puts US higher education to shame.

    Thanks a lot guys for the tips but those are the later parts for 964 and 993 RS/CUP, they have a rectangular bracket and are mounted on the left hand side. I have one on my 1992 RS. The ones on the photos I posted are earlier from the 60s and 70s, are triangular in shape and mounted on the right hand side.
    They where I have only seen them on race cars so I guess they're not in the regular parts list.
