Chris,
Let us know when those become available for sale.
I've been looking for an Autometrics one for years .

Chris,

Cool! Will these fit the '95's with the single 02 sensor? How much?

Mechanics have been jacking from the rear of the engine for decades. No issues. Lots of threads in the archives.

Nice! Are those only for NA or do you have some that will fit Turbos as well?!? Or is the slot long enough to fit both? Will you be selling the towhook separately? Autometrics used to selling them with or without, and I should have bought the towhook just to have in case. Thanks

Chris,
Very nice! What setting do you wash them on after machining?

Only Andreas, thinking about how to clean something

These do not have the tow-hook boss. There is evidence these can drag on the ground.

I am told these will not fit the 95 model, but need to see it myself to be sure. Also, perhaps we can design one to work on the 95 model.

Nobody bought them!!! I had them on my web site to help Autometrics sell them, I think the rate was 1 order per 6 month....

I had one installed on my 993 for years, and for many years that was the way I put my 993 on 4 jack stands.

The units that were once available did not fit a 95 because of the single O2 sensor.

Mark,
Just tell Chris to weld your O2 sensor bung somewhere else on that center portion of the cat.....

Easy as that.

I know. But these are not the original, Autometrics pieces. Hence, my question for these newer iterations.
