I believe I found it 91134370500

But it seems like this is going to be a tough part to locate.

So I am finding just how difficult it is to find this exact part. The sway bar and arms were only used on the 76/77 Turbo. I was lucky to find the arms (they are bigger/reinforced than the standard through the body arms used on earlier/other models), so the sway bar itself also also larger square ends than the standard through the body arms used on earlier/other models. The part from DC was an 18mm, but it had the smaller ends for the 'standard' arms. Please share any leads you might have on a 18mm through the body sway bar used on the early Turbo.

Some of the parts are available new from Porsche - there is someone who has re-manufactured the bars. I may have a spare I will need to dig through my parts stash.

The 77 930 used a different front sway bar, I believe the correct part was used on 75, 76 930's

Thanks. Yes I did see several of the parts for the front early Turbo sway assembly available new from Porsche but the bar itself shows NLA. I did find a guy on Early S Registry that put together and sells the entire early Turbo sway kit, which uses a bar Taret makes for him. It is pretty cool bar (hollow) so that is an option if I cannot find a factory bar. This is a very popular setup for early hot rods, so it is hard to find the parts (hence the reason he made and sells this kit). I have found two factory bars - both in Europe. I really like this factory set up as it was the final and best iteration of the factory thru the body sway set up (IMHO). See below for a photo of the beefier arms used to handle the larger bar - at least I found a set of these already!
Please let me know if you dig one up as I am a buyer!
