Default Measurement request, turbo front bumper shocks

Anyone got a set of 951 front bumper shocks lying around that they could measure for me? Wondering how much shorter they are than the NA ones. trying to finagle a euro bumper onto my car without losing the bumper shock protection

Default dims

what dims do you need?
If you have a 85.5-up tranny mount, I would like those dims. I will machine my own version of the tranny mount with replaceable polyurethane mounts.

Default turbo shock dim

I will take a pic and photoshop the dim. I have the bumper off mine for the V8 swap and am looking for a turbo nose if a custom one doesn't come thru by Admin on the hybrids board.

I didn't know that was possible.

I thought you had to lose the bumper shocks if you put on a turbo nose? Thats the only reason I keep the ugly *** original bumper on my car... well, that and money.

951 had different front bumper shocks than 944, they were shorter.

i test fit my euro bumper onto the NA shocks and it sticks out way too far.

the turbo shocks will not easily attach to the na bumper, you may have to modify the entire bolt throughhole end to make it work.
