  1. Thanks Maurice. I will heed that advice. I just happen to have a tube of graphite left over from my son's recent pinewood derby. -Tim
  2. Thanks for the quick responses. I know the part is not that expensive ($50) at parts.com. My father-in-law is a welder and I will be seeing him today and figured if it can easily be repaired I can save myself a few bucks. Or at least have a workable part until I get a replacement. Regarding Sunset Imports, I found them on the web at Sunset Porsche. I am in Ohio and they are in Oregon. Do they ship parts? Also, since I am a noob when it comes to Porsche, are there any other recommendations for parts suppliers outside of Sunset Imports? Thanks again. -Tim
  3. Hello. I recently came into a 1998 Boxster here in the U.S. Unfortunately the previous owner suffered fom a mishap caused by the stretching of the rubber drive cable housing. (Thanks to you guys for helping me get that situation corrected.) As you can see in the photos I have attached, the right hinge lever for the clam shell was a casualty in the mishap. This is part # 986 561 572.01. Does anyone know the type of metal of which this part is cast? I'm trying to determine if it might be able to be welded. My guess is that it's either aluminum or magnesium. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tim
