You'd better watch. Porsche will catch on to this sudden demand and whack the prices up :)

One of my pet hates is walking into these "premium" dealerships for parts and having them look down their noses at the oink in oily overalls on their pristine floors. Some sensibly have the parts counter round the back of the showroom but the ones I've had to frequent have been through main reception where all of the suited and booted salesmen look at you in disgust for daring to enter their shrine. Maybe it's just me :).

Have bought lots of stuff from the Leeds Porsche centre (mainly for my Brother) and have always found the parts guys knowledgable & helpful.

Waits for the enterprising soul that takes them out of the packet and adds a BMC repro label for their eBay sale site at £15 each..... :lol:

You’ll be pleased with them! Only came across them cause I was doing a parts list for a guy restoring a 911 and 356 . Bonus was he was a rally lad from years ago and owned a Harry Rat tuned 1071 back in the day.

Close but no cigar. They are too big :(

These are about 40mm we need 36mm ID.

Could the 32mm work with an intermediate rubber sleeve?

32mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134494134636

Presume this means they are made new and this is not NOS ?

Might also mean there is actually a Porsche (Beetle) one....is this the part number 113819723A ?

That is if it does actually fit :lol:

EDIT bought this from the eBay link above, 32mm internal diameter

Here you go, just tried it out looks a little different but nice interference fit and same material

The key seems to be the VAG part number, just google it….113819723A

Have put an original one next to it for comparison
