Early 944's had two extra box mounts.

I wonder how much fabrication (a bit of welding I presume) it would take to retro fit them and if there was any efficacy to doing that.

Back to my plot: sent the gearbox mount cross member off for powder coating so until that's back, I am a bit snookered (the guys I use are A1 with a fast turn around).

I'd like to have the torque tube powder coated but the bearing removal and replacement looks like a pig to do - unless anyone has had experience of that?
Guaranteed, the heat will drive any lubricant out of them and if you were to dismantle it, you would be silly not to renew the bearings.

@waylander: price on them? eek. Is there an SKF equivalent?
Thanks mate.

Hello strangers!

Hope you are all well.

The search for an o/s wing continues.
Can anyone tell me if the only difference between the front wing of an S2 and a standard 944 wing is the bit that meets the bumper?

I got an n/s wing off some bloke who was a retired scrap dealer and it was 'kicking round his garage'. It is bloody immaculate and in black too!

The turbo/S2 wing is shaped differently for the different front PU. It would be a crying shame to start chopping up an immaculate one as they are hens teeth and expensive........... :roll:

I am not going to chop the n/s wing.
This is for the o/s.
I wanted to see if I could buy an S2 wing and modify it - i'e, cut the 'nose' off it and weld on a front section. AFAIK, it's only different at this point.
