Default Tarret/Kokeln sway instructions

Does anyone have instructions or photos of Tarret or Kokeln sway bars?

I don't have anything at work but what do you need? Are they Tarret or Kokeln, or are you trying to make your own?

Kokeln, but they are nearly identical to the tarrett. Kokeln does not have any instructions. Dwayne was unloading the balance of the 944 inventory. Thanks for any help you can give. I won't install till Friday at least, off on business for 4 days. I was able to assemble the rear sways and torsion tube replacement part from Kokeln by viewing photographs.

Don't use the pics from my KMR 968 thread as the front bar mounts had to be modified to clear all the turbo plumbing. Just a heads up. The rears should be OK. One note, let me know if yours make any noise as mine make a metallic sound when I go over bumps. We are trying to figure out what the heck it is.

If they are the same as the Tarretts be aware that the rear bar can be mounted mounted upside down if required/if you have clearance problems.

Van just saved you ~ 4 hours of installation, cursing, and calls to Tarret wondering why, when mounted in the same orientation as the stock front bar, the Tarret doesn't fit.... BTDT

Ride height data acquisition. As the car leans and the bar twists, the potentiometer sees very little movement. As the front end moves up or down, the pot rotates.

I'm thinking of making my own swaybar..
