NLA from Porsche.

Best bet is to contact one of the breakers.

[QUOTE=jsheiry;18368333]I have a couple of the cab main bows.

sorry John. I haven’t contacted you earlier. I had to spend the money on something else and have the car sitting in the garage till I can hit the lottery or find some rich relatives… Anyway when I get the chance I will get back to you to see if you still have the parts but don’t hold them for me Thanks, Ed

Good luck with your project. Before I bought my 94 coupe, I looked at the cab. with broken and welded bows. Don't even know if they worked.

You can have the bows welded. A good welder can do it. I have had a couple of sets done for 944's and 968"s. What we cab owners (944 and 968) need to do is get a 3D scan or the bows and CNC machine them out of solid aluminum instead of casting.

Welded it last time. Lasted a few years.
