    Correct size of rear stabilizer/sway bar?

    My 71S has a non-stock rear sway bar that I want to bring back to OEM. Can anyone confirm whether 15mm thickness is correct OEM size for a 1971 2.2S?

    The Porsche Classic catalogue seems to indicate that 15mm (901.333.701.04) was standard across all the models (T/E/S/2.7) but I'd hate the order the wrong one. There seem to be after-market (Weltmeister) bars available in a whole range of thickness from 15mm-22mm.

    Thanks
    Nick

    Per the Technical Specifications book, 15mm is correct. Std on S, optional on T/E. Depending on what you have now you may prefer the handling with the identical looking factory 18mm bar.

    In my experience the Weltmeister bars work, but they don't look right.
