I recently purchased a used Ruf Strut Brace for my C2. So if any of you guys that have one of these could help me I would appreciate it. Did the bar come wth new nuts like the Weltmiester Barce did for my 944? If so, do you know what size they are? My regular deep sockets are not thin wall and the largest socket I can get in the holes is a 10mm and I need a 13mm for the stock Porsche nuts. Did you use a thin-wall socket to install your brace? Any help would be greatly appreciatd. TIA.

craig001, looks like allen head bolts are the answer...
Now for the reason for my post: What did the Ruf brace run you, if I may ask? and did you buy it directly from Ruf?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Patrick,
Thanks for the picture. I was going about it wrong. I will email RUF and see if they sell the bolts.
Mark,
I picked it up on eBay for $217 including shipping from a seller in Florida. He's got a lot of stuff up on eBay. There are also a bunch of other braces in aluminum, carbon fiber and titanium (so they say) from sources like Vertex, RLA, etc.

Perfect power no longer produces these. You’re only options are finding a used one or shelling out for a new Ruf. Throw up wanted add. That’s how I got mine.

I have the RUF brace. Those nuts are a nightmare if you inherit ones that have been done and undone many times. They have very shallow bite surface on the Allen key. You do not want them rounded out.
