Need a couple of dimensions to fab a tow bar

[1QuickS]

I'm going to flat tow my soon to be re-acquired 67 911S and I need a couple of dimensions so I may fabricate a tow bar. Picture shows what I am going to retreive.

What I need are:

• The distance between the front torsion bar tubes, this is a center to center distance. It can be taken as the distance between the front bolts on the cover caps or a distance between the tubes plus the diameter of the tubes.
• I also need a good diameter dimension of the tube itself. This would be an outside diameter.

By the way, I have towed using this approach in the past and I am comfortable with it.

Thanks!

Paul, I really dig all you do for our cars but may I ask why on earth you would want to put a tow bar on what you are going to retrieve?

Tow bar is convenient and is 100% removable without modification to the car.

Thank you for your support and for questioning my sanity.

OK, I found the centerline dimension I need so I only need the diameter of the A-arm tube.

Centerline dimension appears to be 656mm from a drawing I found but for some reason I cannot attach.

Dimensions have been received from a member so thanks to all who looked at this for me!

just so you can be sure...

Thanks Ernie, I found that one already. I've changed my attachment plans to pick up the three M8 bolts at the cap that is the forward bushing cover. That is what I did previously and it worked for a 500 mile round trip.

Hi Paul,

I am happy to hear you are reuniting with your 67S. Fantastic!

Take care,

Brad

Thanks Brad, I'll feel better sitting in the driver's seat with the title in my pocket, hopefully this Monday.
