I've had a couple of buddies checking on the springs and so far there seems to be a lot of confusing...updated part numbers, etc., but nothing concrete. I've satisfied that the spring diameter isn't different on the diesels, but as mentioned earlier, the number of turns and heights may be different.

That will be interesting to see how that works out for you.

Yep. I picked up an intercooler setup from a '93 940 Turbo over the weekend and it will bolt right up to the front of my 960.

I don't have it or know the appropriate number but I imagine it would not be too hard to fashion one, or you could just use an M46 boot like in a 740. I got the idea, and the part number, a couple years ago from the guy who put this car together: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=188058 -- and bought the part around that time as well. |
I've seen that thread and in fact know the guy who had the 765, well at least I've swapped PM's with him. Chris is a really knowledgeable guy. He told me that the shifter boot in the photo below was one that came from an '89 740, so the boot should be easy to source and in fact I have the one from the '83 donor car.
