    Does this apply to Mobil1? the list I checked says 10W40 is approved for warmer climates (i'm in Sacramento area)
  2. btopping
    Do you use something like a freezer bag & tyrap the end closed?

    I got the tube out. This is what it looks like.
  4. btopping
    OK. But I'm worried about th epices that broke out of the tube going into the engine. Good news was the oil filter was exceptnally clean.

    Hi all, I;m doing a 120k service on my '01 Boxster & have broken a spark plug tube. Do I need to drain & refill the oil now?

    The rivets are 999-507-497-40 & the plastic nuts are 999-049-022-40
  7. btopping
    Thanks. That's good to know. I don't care if it takes longer, just want to make sure I get it done right.

    HMMM. Mine is a pretty small unit I bought a while back mostly for filling tires. It's rated at 0.6 cfm @ 90PSI

    Question, how large a compressor does this require?

    Hi guys, An update. Finally got it done today. Not only did I have to drill & retap the holes. I had to oval the holes on the retaining strip to get it installed. Strange, this is the first time I have worked on a Porsche that the parts didn't reinstall the same way they came out! Oh well.

    Interesting link. It found 5 stations here in the Peoples Repulic of Kalifornia. All were at least a tank of fuel away from me round trip.
  12. btopping
    OK. I think I figured out the seal retainer issue. I used th 3M tape on the leather strip. should I have used adhesive instead? It seems the tape adds just enough thickness to make the canvas stay above the screw bosses.

    Hi Loren, waht would you charge?
  14. btopping
    Great. Does any member in the Lincoln, Roseville/Rocklin, Auburn, CA area have a PWIS or PST? I'm sure the local dealer will charge me more than the bar is worth to do this but I would gladly contribute to your wallet for 5 min of programming :D
  15. btopping
    Durametric won't do this huh?
  16. btopping
    I have one in my '01 that someone is interestred in buying. Removing it looks straightforward enough, but will there be any issues just unplugging the connectors, unbolting it & putting new bolts on the front seat rails?
  17. btopping
    I plan on just tapping the holes for new screws & be done with it. For the other issue, I have installed new springs, sliders & clamping pieces. The springs are in the correct position. By the straps, are you referring to the velcro straps that wrap around the round guide bar?
  18. btopping
    Well that wasn't it. I pulled it apart tonight & the cardboard was in the correct place, but shining a light onto the screw holes saw little or no threads. Guess I'll try to drill/tap them. Strange because when I was taking it apart I saw no metal shavings or threads coming out with the screws. Bummer. I also noticed the passenger side tension cable does not seat correctly, it jumps on the outside of the guide rail. New finger springs, clamping pieces & sliders. One problem at a time.

    Hi, I'm in the process of installing a new top & have run into a dilema. The 6 screws that hold the front seal onto the cast aluminum part wont grab & seat the retainer & seal. It;s difficult to see into the screw holes but it could be an issue of stripped threads. Any ideas?
  20. btopping
    glad to help. I'm replacing the top on my car this weekend. Stay tuned for the before & after.
  21. btopping
    Anytime. I've replaced mine & I'm actually building a database of parts I have replaced on my car. Glad to help.
  22. btopping
    Yep, me too. Had the car out on Sunday for a quick (fast) ride & it was rock solid!! thanks for the advice & referral to schultz, great guys there.
  23. btopping
    Hi. The rear tension cables are P/N 986-561-191-02
  24. btopping
    yeah, I'm going to call tomorrow
  25. btopping
    update. I did replace the front control arms & rear trailing arms, that made a big diffrence. Had the force balance & and wheel alignment done yesterday & WOW. Schultz did tell me the right side tires could not be completely force balanced since they were out of range. Funny since the tires are not the same brand front to rear. They also said the right side was maxed at the camber adjustment, thinking I might have to replace the track arms. guess I start budgeting for track arms, & wait on tires since the rears are almost new & the fronts will probably go a while.
