Would '76 rear torsion bars fit a '71?

Hi,

Is there a significant difference between the original '71 rear torsion bars and the '76 ones? (Except thickness)

Are these 2 interchangeable?

Thanks for your help!

Hessel

They are interchangeable. No difference except diameter as you noted.

I don't even think the diameter was different...I thought they were both 23mm?

Make sure you move them side to side, right side to right side.

They were different as years went on and cars got heavier.

1965-1977 non-turbo 911's all used 23mm bars in the rear.
