Just seeing if anyone has one out there for sale or knows of one available. Seen here:

Please let me know.

Oddly enough, We just started recreating these. We've got preproduction samples without paint in the office now. How soon do you need it?

That's amazing. I thought I was being silly even posting a wanted ad. Would like it in the next two months--is that a possibility?

I will PM you my email so you have it as more info becomes available.

In the meantime, can you tell us about your manufacturing capability/qualifications and what the price point will be?

Replies sent. We're hoping to have them done within a month. Pricing looks to be about $350, powdercoated. We're aiming these towards the shops--but think anyone that needs to do this job will find it very handy.

How did you ensure the tolerances are spot on? I'd like to know how they were made to ensure accuracy, etc. I don't know what it takes to make an accurate jig, but I wouldn't mind a brief education. Did you have an original that you copied, or did you recreate one from the factory body dimension drawings?

I think your price is reasonable. I plan on buying one and sharing with my local midwest buddies as they need it.

I was literally in the process of having my dad draw the tool in CAD and then having a shop make one.

Bill G,
Just so you're aware, there was no such suspension tool from Porsche as "P363a". Where did you come up with that number, and picture? The factory tool for checking front suspension points was P850, as seen in the factory workshop manual. It was a very heavy, substantial tool compared to the one you posted...

We have an original jig, as well as a complete 930 floor pan.....The 930 pan as a slight difference in the rear control arm mount, but it's giving us some good "feedback" on our work.

Hi, that looks like our jig in the picture (Canford classics) is that correct. A turbo pan will work but the rear mounts are different for the turbo (anti dive). If you can make these correct is am sure people will buy them.

Thanks

Yes--we're noting that the rear control arm mounts are a bit "up" but it's giving us the rest of the Z dimensions just fine. I was wondering if anyone would catch that!
