They're diagonal links with heim joints at the upper ends. They keep the horizontal control arms from having to rely on the sway bar to control caster, like a radius arm would.

They are only tacked on in the pics. I've made the pieces to box the whole arms in with, top and bottom. I'll weld them at work tomorrow.

Sure could have saved a bunch of time welding that 911 front end I have in place.

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!
