Default 968 connecting rods WTB?

Guys I'm trying to find out whether there is a early version of the 968 con rod and a late version, the reason I say this is that with the 928 GTS the conrods were revised because they were bending. They were changed in the 94 model year. I would need to buy 8 rods all up, all late style if there is such a thing. If somebody has a pic, can they please post one. I have to get then machined down so that they will be the correct width. Please let me know asap if you have any to sell.

Thanks Greg

Yes there are two versions with the new ones being used after Oct. '93 production.
The new version has more flange material at the junction of the bearing end.
