One thing I wanted to fix on my car while I was doing the hell hole repair, was to get new fuel pump mounts. Being that mine had broken off and was just zip-tied to the brake line. Well, new stock mounts are $25 to $30 EACH. Wow! And they have to be ordered from Porsche. So one parts distributer suggested using 911sc mounts as they are about the same depth. But they only have one stud and that stud is a little thicker than the stock 914. The other side is female. But that should work, right?
Does anyone have any experience with other alternatives that don't include the $8 cheapo version that break right away or radiator mounts which are too thin? |

I found some at McMaster-Carr that were close but not perfect. They were either a little bigger or smaller. Haven't actually used them yet so I'm not sure if they are what you describe as the cheap version that breaks or not. They were less then $2 each. The one on the right is stock the left is the first one I got from Mcmaster, I went back and got one that was shorter. Check this thread also:
