Pair of pro-tech dampers for the rear end (15" open, 10" closed), they only have 125lb/inch springs as I still have the 'short' torsion bars which will be stiffer than the original IRS longer bars, together they should be about right for the heavier engine and trans.


I went for the biggest bushes pro-tech had and didn't need any spacers at the top mounting, small ones either side at the lower end.


I held a G50 911 axle in position and luckily it looks like there will be enough clearance to the spring. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but with the trans moved forwards it was something I needed to check...




Paneling part way through, just section by air filter to do now and some general tidying up...
