Looks good Joe, gonna have to come and see it soon.
A pre-964 front end is less high tech than a Mc Pherson 1303 front end

The extra control arms with heim joints look a lot like a set-up I saw many years ago on a german Kaefercup car..

Looks very good!

PS: Jurgen, did you ever come to informing about shipping costs of the 912E tach we talked about?

It looks great, I love that crossmember, looks more professinal than mine, 3 peices of flat bar, and a peice of square tubing.

Great looking pictures too, I love to see projects in progress. Keep up the good work!

If you copy it, I won't mind. No patents on anything. I just didn't want the caster changing as the suspension jounces, or if I hit the brakes hard and turn in. This way, the horizontal control arms track straight up and down, and not in an arch. Plus, with this geometry I can actually ADJUST caster wiff the heim joints.

The 2 piece shiftrod is the big thing. I wanted to make the 901 shift right in my Bug. I got two 1" OD universal joints, one 12" behind the shifter, and one at the selector shaft on the gearbag, to work with the mis-alignment of the selector shaft and the base of the shifter. Everything else is pre-72 911 stuff.

It shifts SO SMOOOOOTH!!!

Thanks for the kind words fellas, I'll keep yall updated and try not to be such a stranger 'round here anymore.
