1985/ 3.2 engine Can you still get this wire loom part?

Post by 911hillclimber »

I have the engine out of my 73T, it is a stock 3.2 engine.
The black housing that holds all the engine loom connectors and links to the body loom has broken in 2 parts and really needs a proper repair, preferably new parts.
However, I cannot find such a part on type911 or design911.

IIRC you can get the 1973 era of car connector but does anyone have a source of this 1985/3.2 connector housing?
Found this on Google, USA source, anyone in the UK?

It's available from Stoddard's in the US - part no 911.612.113.05 so probably available direct from Porsche ...

Thank you Andy, thought you would know.

They are everywhere in the US but can't find any indie here with them.
Have to get some Boxster bumper clips, so will ask at the parts counter for this too.

Thanks, found those too, wonder why the UK does not sell them?
None are cheap!

Indeed gents, went into my local Centre and ordered one and had PCGB discount on this and some clips for my Boxster.
Will be available for Wednesday this week.
Lot of money for two plastic parts that will have cost 10p at most to make, but at least I will have them.
This connection is everything so has to be right.

There was some very very nice Porsche's in that showroom... :cyclops:
Must be a great experience to buy a Porsche from there. :drunken:

I'd imagine there is a more cost effect solution if you are handy with a soldering iron.

Tried that one, but the type of plastic used I feel won't readily hold.
It is on it's way now, so job done once and for all.
It has been broken for some time now, and generally tidying-up the car in several places.
