Hi Dave Can't remember but i guess its one or the other and which ever one it doesnt do the top adjuster would do it! I'm guessing its similar to this conversion but the struts are slightly different http://www.paragon-products.com/Koni_944_Double_Adjustable_Coil_Over_Strut_Kit_p/koni8742conv.htm Just had the thumbs up on the dampers from Ian Gardiner who Dyno'd them. I will ask Ian which one does what Cheers Jake

FWIW, the rebound is adjusted on the top, on my M030 Koni dampers. I imagine that the bottom adjusters on your Koni's are bump adjustment, but I could be wrong!

Looks like you need a longer bolt and cut it down. Wasn't sure if that was a set screw in your picture. Do you know what they tensile strength is on the Porsche bolt? Will look to see if i have anything, not likely, but i do have qquite a number of Porsche bolts, fixings etc. I was very surprised that Porsche dont stock them anymore? JP
Hi JP Its a 10.9 45mm M10 from memory - the factory one only has 50% thread. I bought a 50mm bolt which in theory should have the same thread length but it didn't........... Have put the original bolts back on for the moment - they are only torqued to 50NM as opposed to the strut ones which are 120ish! Picture below. I think it probably needs a 55mm cut down
Cheers Jake
Almost there (some photos from a few days ago)
Powder coated radiator bottom mount
Some bits still need cleaning i was rushing for the mot which shittylink made me miss!
The radiator duct needs replacing if anyone has one - emailed Porschapart twice now but they dont seem to respond!
Still some waxoil on the clutch housing that needs cleaning up but that will come "middle under body clean up"
bottom of the inlet manifold
I rebuilt both accessory belt tensioners - you can now tension the belts by hand
Airbox still needs a tart up
New top mounts look a bit disappointing to be honest. Its like someone has taken a good set off another car!
Stu got me the correct front brake lines - fitted lovely
Putting the old disks on which look a bit manky - might take her for a skim as there is plenty of wear on them left

Yes Jake, your thing which says 710 should say 7E0! Is the filler cap part number on your new one, the same as your old?
More updates from 968 UK site ..........
Not sure i would pay $150 for one of these?
>>>>>>>>>> Turned out headlight didnt work after all that >>>>>>>>>> curfew broken but light fixed
Solder had broken on the little component i took off for no reason...... My ingenious method of holding the bushes in while you reassemble the motor
Good views of the suspension etc
>>>>>>>>>>> got a bit carried away and painted the bumper as it was looking a little shoddy - would have powder coated it but one for another day
Another old tool box hits the dust for a temporary repair to the radiator duct (unavailable from Porsche and Porschapart don't seem to know what email is)
Wheel arch liners refitted
Oh and quite pleased with these clips for fuel/brake pipes - plastic now and replace the rusty metal ones
MOT tmrw.......

Marv wanted to see the new bushes I put in
Techart splitter ready for refixing

Some effort has gone into that.....although i think you have missed one or two bits where one of these would have come in handy...[

Only joking, looks fabulous. Those plastic brake line clips are great aren't they. New clips on the lower front PU is a nice touch, Porsche ones? Better replacements since they're the correct size! Have you used stainless fixings on your undertrays? Dynatech strut brace also...they're rare now! I had a locally made lower one too, stiffens the front end up nicely - but perhaps not for the road.
