Where to source early gearbox parts?

[Bruce M]

Hi all,

I'm in need of a small gearbox part for an early 901/914 box.

Its the push action clutch version.

I need the small clutch arm retaining piece that holds the arm on its pivot point.

Any ideas where to get one in the UK. I know Pelican Parts sells them for about $5 but I'd rather get it here.

Do you think a dealership would be able to get it and if so would it have a silly price?

Thanks folks.

Bruce.

Hi, The dealer is worth a go, occasionally they suprise us!

I used Mittelmotor for most of the parts when I rebuilt my 915, all Porsche O.E bits but discounted, even allowing for shipping.

Type 911 are worth a phone call as they buy parts at a very good trade price from their local dealer, add the profit and then send it to you, but still manage to be under Porsche retail!

Good luck.

http://www.type-911.co.uk/ sells most if not all 915 box parts, his prices are normally as good as ne where.

Call your local OPC.
I use the one in Guildford as they are very helpful & will happily supply small bits like these mail order.
I've just ordered the release arm bush & release bearing guide pieces.
The part you want is 901 116 077 01 - PET shows it as being about a fiver.
