    WTB: Amco rear bumper bars

    Looking for a set of not-too-expensive 'driver quality' Amco rear bars to fill the holes on the bumper guards for my 1972 911T. Prefer not to pay a fortune for show quality as my car is used often and not polished as much.

    As a side note, should my Leistritz tail pipes be sticking out quite so far?

    My memory is that the length should align with the engine (displacement, T/E/S)...

    So the more powerful the engine, the longer the tail pipe? Do you know of any resource where I can obtain the measurements, as mine stick out 11'?

    I have an AMCO rear bar in driver condition, as well, but it sounds like someone has what you need.

    That would mean three different part numbers for early sport mufflers???

    I looked it current resources and all I see is a one-size fits all option now. I distinctly remember different lengths for 2.0 vs. 2.2 vs 2.4 liter engines, though.
