reducing stud for 12mm shocks on a 14mm 944 trailing arm

[zen]

how much interest is there in reducing studs for 12mm bug shocks on a 14mm 944 trailing arm mount? i have a shop looking into making me some and can do quantity if needed. minimum quantity would be about 100 though. i will burden the cost and quantity and sell with a small margin to cover risk and time. curious whether or not there would be buyers though. don't know cost yet, but will be in the area of $5-$10 each depending on what quantity i buy.

NO liability on my part though!!!!!!!!!! as they say, this is only for off-road use then.

Gee Zen, does anything fit on that car?

lol. you are getting ready to have this problem too when you go to put those ali arms on your vert. you just haven't gotten there yet.

no interest? i would need to turn out about 20 pair to get my costs down to what i would be selling to everyone else for. not sure this can happen. my other choices are reem the shock or pay $110 to have two of these studs made.

Zen,

Are you talking about a 14mm bolt that would fit into the 944 trailing arm and then is reduced to 12mm to allow fitting of the regular Type 1 shock?

If so, then I would need a pair.

yes, i am. looks like i am going to drill my shocks as a short term solution (just so i can get to a show next weekend), then come back for the right solution. if there are enough people that show an interest here i will still do the studs because they are the best solution i have heard yet. it will take about 20 people though. i will also be posting on other forums too though.

Hey Zen,

I last mock fitted my ali arms 2 years ago. I got a quote of £65 for a pair of rolled thread M14*1.5/M12 studs. Or ~£65 for 100 studs.

this is about the same for a pair, but $275US for 50, $350 for 100.

Is it something like this? Racer's Edge is selling at US$75each. Very expensive!!!?

[zen]

same concept, but different design.

I am interested. I'd buy a few sets if thats what it would take to get a decent price. Put me down for 4 pair. I'm sure I'll need them eventually.
