Did a search, but ...seeking suspension point replacement thread
Apologies in advance, guys. Some time ago, there was a thread here on what is needed to replace a rusted out chassis bottom. A machine used to assure that suspension points will be in the right place as pieces are replaced. I searched, but darned if I could find the thread. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance...

I'm pretty sure it is called a celette bench.
"Cellette" comes up, but there is a pointer to the corrected spelling: celette. Hope that helps. Doug

OR it could be generically, a chassis jig. I think Celette is used to straighten and pull, but could also be used to verify that things are in the right spot.
Hope these clues get you to the information you are seeking. I hope this inquiry is not related to your beautiful, green S. Doug

Damon, from Series 900 (or known as Series 911??) posts here from time to time, and is a well respected 911 chassis guru versed in the operation of his Celette. Perhpas he can point you in the right direction.

Thanks guys...Celete was the word I couldn't remember. I'll search that. Yep, doing some research for Evren... If my car needed a Celete, I wouldn't have it. I don't have the hand skills of many who post here.

IIRC, a body guy told me that the Celette had been eclipsed by something else...
