Another view, showing the upper mounting tab. Sorry that I don't have a good picture of a 944 setup but we now use this design on all of our installations including the 944s.

Cool - thanks! I'll let you know.

Thanks for the detailed responses, fellas.

Hank: how long is the upper rod? Specifically, what is the distance between the two mounting points? Is it adjustable, or would I just cut it to size? I just want to be upper rod will work with my setup.

Thanks!

Hi, Chris. Since the spring is inside the upper rod, it cannot be cut short and is not adjustable. The upper rod is available in two lengths - 22" or 26.5". The 22" long version fits the best on the 944s. The mounting tabs attach approx. .5" from the ends, so plan on the tabs to be approx. 21" and 25.5" apart depending on the rod length you choose.

If you are just looking for the upper rod, you can find these at most of the racing parts websites. My "value-add", so to speak, is my custom-fitted lower rod which might not be of value to you since I'm not familiar with your cage's door bars.

Thanks, Hank. I'll do some measurements this weekend and I may be calling. I'll look at your door bars and compare them to mine. They can't be that much different.

Cheers,
Chris
