There are parts. And then there are parts.
Need parts? I’ll track down the real thing for you. If it’s not available and there’s no acceptable substitute, I’ll see if I can make it for you. I insist on nothing short of authenticity for my own Porsches, and I do the same for my clients. To anyone who loves Porsches, no detail is too trivial.
Sometimes it takes a bit of homework to track down the right equipment. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is helpful, but not very detailed. The original parts books are useful to identify correct parts, but some contain errors. Even books written by experts can be inaccurate. When these resources don't provide the needed information, I have other research trade secrets up my sleeve.

I’m picky about nuts and bolts. The pictured parts are originals that I pulled from a 911 SC. But Porsche plates them, so I re-plated them. It protects and extends the life of the car. And, even though no one will see how great they look, I’ll know.

These Bowden cables are no longer available, so when I needed new ones I made them in my shop. It was important to me to have them right, even down to the part number. If you think that’s a little extreme, I get it. But then, isn’t that a quality you want in a person tracking down parts for your Porsche?
