912 parts source closer to home?

Post by wildtexas »

Looking at the parts for 912 thread above it seems some websites don't work anymore?

Other than going stateside, who are you using presently for 912 parts?

Max at Revival is great for 912 stuff. Also Roger Bray is very good. And don't forget Porsche themselves.

Thanks guys, do you mean the high street porsche official dealers? What I see on the porsche classic site is the PET tool. No online shop. Matt

Don't forget Eurocar Parts, GSF, Karmann Konnection, PRS, etc (some of the parts were carried over from the 356C) ...

Hi Matt

so I've used pretty much all of the suppliers but have been most impressed by Max at Revival and my local Porsche Dealer (Porsche Centre Leicester)
got a few bits from Sierra Madre in the US too and the delivery has always been super quick.

Your OPC have a lot more parts than you may think.
When it comes to panels and seals (windows, bonnet etc etc) you are better off sticking with genuine Porsche parts.
Most OPC's will give you some discount on classic parts, just ask.
I found Max at Revival extremely helpful, he will give you good advice and good service.
I've also used Roger Bray, Karmann Konnection and Auto Foreign Services & Sierre Madre in the US for a few elusive bits.
All have been good and easy to deal with.
