Long story short, I was ordering some strut bars for my 964+993 and came across 2 versions.
1 is the shorter one for the regular fuel tank and the other is a longer one to accommodate the larger fuel tank (which was an option as well as standard on the cup cars). Both struts serve the same purpose but 1 sit a little higher, probably 1".
I was planning to order 2 of the shorter OEM ones while investigating the difference.

Currently Heigo make the longer one for Gert @ Carnewal but they will not produce the shorter one unless a minimum of 10 orders can be reached.
This is the exact same part as Porsche 96434352970, which is the standard strut brace on all 964/993 RS with the standard fuel tank. Heigo make the same one for Porsche for over 2x the price.
I can probably take between 2-4 myself so looking to see if there are a few others to complete the lot to get Heigo to make a run.
Price is 255 Euros from Gert which is a substantial savings over the ecstuning offering at £475 (https://www.design911.co.uk/pages/productList.aspx?search=96434352970)
Hope we can get up enough interest otherwise I'll have to fork up for an OEM piece.
Thanks in advance, 964 fanatics!
I think once we have enough signed on interest the purchase can be made through Gert@Carnewal directly.
