ive looked at there wb site £175 plus vat for the wish bone is a little high.
i must admit im on a bit of a budget.
thanks for the info
 
ISTR new ones from Porsche are running just over £300 at the moment. This is actually pretty good as they where over £400 each several years ago. Breakers such as Porschapart will also do them but ISTR the price will not be that much different from the Hartech rebuild.

Personally I don't trust the repair kits, for my race car I have been advised to invest in a pair of brand new wishbones by someone who has more experience racing these cars then anyone else in the country. My wishbones are fine but are obviously fairly old.

Neil, if that someone is a mutual friend, then it's a new pair of wishbones per season, right? :) Not that bad an idea actually - if one of them lets go, you've got a one-way ticket into the kitty litter (if you're lucky) or armco (if you're not).
 
Actually. Im pretty sure that mutual friend, recomends a new pair after ever 4 races....They get THAT harder use....+ They have seen some catastrophic failures...
Getting back on topic. The Hartech ones are good and priced reasonably...
Dont mess about with the kits, get them done properly....
Nobody ever said owning a Porsche was cheap...[;)][8|]
