Zero10

I asked on here a while ago, looking for some brackets for an aftermarket sway bar I have for my 951, and it came down to, I needed to post a picture of it, so here we go

The car has some long flat adapters bolted in place of the original sway bar brackets, and I have some about 1/2" thick plates, which appear to be spacers for this sway bar, but I do not have the brackets, or bolts to mount it with, and I'm not sure which brand it is, or where to get these parts.

So, without further ado, here is the picture of the bar.


Now, I feel rather like a post *****, given the number of threads I've started recently, so I'll try to cut it back a bit

Your pic is not working

Pic works for me, but don't know about the sway bar.

It didn't work right away, took 3 tries to make it work. Sorry

That appears to be an older Weltmeister bar. Hopefully Skip will chime in.. Paragon carries Welt sways and may be able to get you what you need.

Zero10

Hmm, a bar from a past generation?... How old are we talking?

Ken D

No idea, may not be that old. Talk to Jason or Skip @ Paragon, if it's a Welt bar they should be able to get you the parts.

Looks like the rear bar off of a 911/930. I assume the bolts on the top of the drop links replace the original control arm bolts. Probably is a Welt, it has the same golden hue as the used one I just put on the 911.

Oh, yeah. The stock center brackets were used, so you might just use your original brackets with nesw bushings-

Replace control arm bolts?... It bolts in where the original sway bar bolts in.
I sure hope it's not from a 911/930, I want it to fit my 951

Sorry "Control Arm Bolts" was a bad choice of words. I mean they replace the bolts that go through the rear trailing arms, as in where the original bar bolts in.

I don't think it is a 911 one, because the "dropped part" in the center is too wide. The one I just did had a smaller section. Have you held it up under the car? Or, compared it to a stock swaybar? Looks pretty thick, if it is for the car I'm sure it will tighten the back up a lot-

Zero10

It's a front sway bar though.
I did line it up, and it seems to fit pretty well, but I can't tell exactly where it will sit without the spacers and brackets installed.
It's huge, I haven't measured it yet, but I would estimate it's in the 30mm range.
The one on the rear of the car I think is 25 or 26mm.
With the koni yellow suspension, this thing handles tight, even without the front sway bar, I can't wait to get it on there

It looks like the front sway bar my friend is running on his track car. The bar he is using is a weltmeister and the way it attached was with there supplied brackets. There brackets consisted of 2 "bar stock" looking brackets that attached to the front crossmember bolt and 4 tubing spacers. here is a quick sketch I drew up to try and explain.

Hopefully that will help.

Yup, it's a weltmeister and the info Rob gave is spot on. I had one on my 924S for a few year. I have been told by Jason at Paragon in the past that the brackets and such are kind of pricey, but you only need a handful of parts, so it shouldn't be that bad (10 bolts, 4 nuts, some washers, 4 spacers, 2 bar clamps and 2 hunks of bar stock)

Zero10

That drawing of the bracket is spot on!
However, on mine there are some roughly 2.5" long brackets that have 2 holes in them that line up with the threaded holes on the bracket you drew the picture of, they are about 1/2" thick as well, I think they are spacers.
Mine has rubber bushings on it, that look a LOT like the rear sway bar bushings, flat on one side. I almost wonder if the rear sway bar brackets would fit?... I have a spare set.

Anyhoo, I would need the 2 brackets, and 4 bolts for them, I think that would be it, hopefully it's pretty cheap, as after my NYC trip, I'm flat broke
