Here is a current Speedway Motors link for tube and joints:
for example a 1" o.d. x 18"x 3/4"-16 tube(measure yourself!!) is here:
Speedway IMCA Approved 3/4 Thread Swedged Steel Tube, 18 Inches Long
Swedged Steel Tube, 3/4 Inch Thread
cheap solid rod end LH:
Standard Steel Heim Joint Rod Ends, 3/4-16 LH Male
You would need RH and the correct bore size for the bolt (7/16" = 0.4375")

Hello Gelbster.

did someone exact measurements for a Ernie / Pedos solution?

I'm asking because today i did a little tour with some Porsche friends in the Black Forest. Mostly cars with a little more power than mine. And my problem besides a failing front brake (by fading) was a not very unstable rear. Not shure if all motor / transmission mounts are OK (will check that too). But it seems that the rear was kind of unstable at narrow high speed corners on the brake and with strong acceleration. No so much a problem when corner were protracted and speed was higher > 100 Km/h and above.

So i think an additional lower stabilizer bar might be a good idea. Also did order new Brembo HP 2000 brake pads some days ago and will also do a brakefluid change. Did a change last year, but not shure about the brakefluid used. Seems the right front brake has a problem. Will also replace all stabilizer rubbers.

Regards, Markus

PS:
This car did also attend. Technically it's a 993 chassis with a 300 HP engine. Very fast car. because it weights less than 1.300 KG.
