Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anybody know where I might find a replacement rear diagonal strut brace for my 996 C4S? The bolt sheared off the old one when removing - I was just looking to refurbish them.
Have tried eBay and some of the online breakers.
Thanks!
Design 911 will order for you 99733108102 not cheap new circa £165 iirc. They're listed individually you have to go to the parts diagram on Suspension and Axle page, OPC might be cheaper. I have seen them on Ebay from time to time but you may have to wait for one to come up. Same part left and right. I put new rubbers 99633138500 on mine when I refurbed them.
Was hoping just get a cheap secondhand one that the powders coater can refurbish along with my existing intact one. I may have found one but if anyone does have an old one knocking around I may still be interested.
Thanks for those who have replied.

For second hand try the usual Porsche breakers, Douglas Valley, 9apart, Status Porsche, Porsche Heaven. All have eBay shops.
BTW - an OPC will always be cheaper than D911 for genuine Porsche parts. And watch out for their prices being ex VAT...
Managed to get the stud drilled out and a new high tensile steel rod inserted for £25. Thanks
@martin t
for the suggestion. Bonus the chap was round the corner from the powder coating place so all parts with them and should be ready by end of the week.
Had a bit of trouble finding correct size ARB bushings (I’ve decided to go with Powerflex). Front I measured at approx 24mm and rear at approx. 21mm but there were other very similar sizes available so not entirely convinced I’ve ordered the correct ones. Car is a 2003 C4S with M030.
I came across this article recently, it might help you with ARs and what bushes are required.
eidt to add the 996 version:

Looks like I ordered the correct front but maybe too large rear. I did measure with digital calipers but rusty ARBs were giving different readings at various points!
