Default BSRD Super Clamp sale

We just got in our new batch of 928 Super Clamps, our "V2" models, which have been re-designed a bit to make them even more robust and easier to install.

Below is a picture of the V2 928 Super Clamp on the left next to a Porsche OE 928 front flex plate clamp.

To celebrate our new V2 models, we are offering them at the sale price of $299.00 each, plus shipping.

This is the lowest price they have ever been offered to the public and will only be for a limited time.

Our website has further information on our Super Clamp and how it can help stop thrust bearing failure due to drive shaft pull out at the front flex plate clamp.

Constantine:

I'll take one for my '89S4.

I have always felt bad that the '88 got the good clamp, and I think the '89 is jealous.

An bargain price to save an engine. My original motor was a TBF victim when I bought the car. Needles to say Constantine's quality clamp was one of the first parts I acquired for the replacement engine.

Pain. Torque tube disconnected and moved or removed.

However, if you are installing one, it's probably worth rebuilding your torque tube and installing Constantine's super bearings and consider your transmission mounts WYAIT.

But it's a one-time per 100,000 miles or more thing and it will save your engine from thrust bearing failure on an Automatic.

They dont there are reports that with the porken clamp there is some movement, but with the superclamp, i havent heard or seen anything yet.

My own car 86 auto with the porken clamp there was movement.

Also last year i did an engine swap on a 85 auto that had a thrust bearing failure and a porken clamp instaled on it. But then again i m not the one who instaled the clamp so its possible it wasent instaled properly.

Bottom line CONSTANTINE SUPER CLAMP and TORQUE TUBE BEARINGS dont leave home with out them.

Thx Mickster,

What all besides the "Super bearings" is needed in the torque tube rebuild?

Maybe Constintein can chim in as to the bearing cost as well?

Elgreco

Took a look at the PorKen model, definitely doesn't look as heavy duty as this unit (although not nearly the cost either)

Looking into this set up now!

Thanks for your input.

If the shaft is fine (it should be) it will take muscles and a wood and a hammer. 2 person job.

A lift helps a lot.

If you don't want to knock out and reinstall the bearings yourself, you can pull the tube and ship it to Constantine for a rebuild.
