Is this worth buying from Auto Atlanta? I have never purchased from them. I will be putting my car back together after completely stripping it for paint. Thanks |

"Download the PET from Porsche and you'll be able to buy the fasteners yourself for much less."
Sourcing them from Porsche would easily be 2-3x more than what George is asking. The other issue is, most of the nuts and bolts have been superseded several times over. The likely hood of getting the same finish, or stamped bolt as what came on your car from the factory is slim. Some of the "original" hardware is still inventory, but a lot isn't. I went thought that when I lightly restored the Bahia red 914 I had, roughly 6+ years ago. Wurth USA also has a good selection of metric hardware. But again, will be more expensive to put together. Replating like Bruce does is a very good option if the hardware isn't too pitted. I recall his parts being very reasonably priced. The finish from different vendors can vary by quite a bit. So, keep that in mind if your looking to achieve proper factory look. Some are too muted in finish, others are too iridescent. Ran into that issue with several platers I tried over the years. http://www.yellowzincplating.com/default.html Jim does exceptional work. Just be specific on the finish your trying to achieve if you decide to use him. He's usually back logged. |
