Not sure how the jacking point tube/reinforcement works with that either

Thanks. Do you know if the slightly earlier inner sill (part # ending .03) will fit together with the L-shaped gusset?Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:47 pm .
It used to be fairly std for restorers (eg Autofarm) to 'upgrade' to the later kidney bowls if they needed replacement ...
I think Jon Miller (DustyM) uses the later parts on all of his restorations.

I like the early style because it seems better designed to let water out.IanM wrote:Another question![]()
Will the later gussets (kidney bowls) as pictured below, fit to pre-73 911?
It seems to me that this gusset being L-shaped will add more rigidity between the B-pillar and the rocker. Another advantage is that it has a jacking point integrated with it, so that's probably a good thing.
Maybe pm Jon and ask him about itIanM wrote:Thanks. Do you know if the slightly earlier inner sill (part # ending .03) will fit together with the L-shaped gusset?Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:47 pm .

Thanks for letting me know.
Early 911 shells, even coupes, had very weak torsional rigidity. Any strengthening would be advantageous.There is less or perhaps no need for this extra rigidity on coupes.
Thanks for the heads up. Maybe the genuine ones you had were for coupe (last two digit part # .00). No longer being offered by Porsche. Below pic is a targa version (.40)One point worth noting is that the genuine later L-shape Porsche versions that I received, did not have the jack tube attached or included, whereas the Dansk versions come with the jack tubes welded in place.
