Cross Post on a "Looking For" Item
 

With Ronnie lurking I'm loath to use any term that includes both the words "Hot" and "Socket", but since what I'm trying to find is a Hot Air Socket I'm left with little choice.

I somehow lost this part of the tin/engine shrouding when I had my engine out a while back. My headers didn't offer heat so I wasn't too concerned, just cut some sheet metal to cover the hole and off I went. Well now I have headers with heat but can't use it until I can find one of these.

Porsche Part, No: 930.66/68

Description: Hot Air Socket

It's item 5 on the attached image.

Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks.

Looks like pelican has it available

Thanks. For the time being I'm trying to avoid paying $180 dollars for a small piece of formed tin.

I think that's 180.00 for plastic:D

Yep, they're plastic and have a tendency to crack apart from the heat. I think I have an extra one ( I may have tossed it ) in pieces that could be glassed back together. LMK if you want it and, if I have it, I'll send it over, no charge.

Norm, "lost" it? Ya', right! Everyone here knows exactly what happened to that thar tube (think, errrrrrrr, well used and eventually rendered unrecognizable!). :eek:

^^^ Guess they shoulda made the opening larger.

Or the tube walls more resistant to yer kung-fu grip!!!!

$180ish and the new ones are thinner plastic than the ones made in the '80s.
Thanks again, Porsche...

I bought a one pc. metal unit from Sierra Madre for $90.

I dropped a bolt or some such on mine a while back and the fukker cracked a big chip of that brittleass plastic right off... which... of course... promptly fell INTO said ducting - FTMFL!

True to the spirit of our wondrous group here - someone mailed me a spare, *gratis*!

Hopefully the "other" Paul K finds his busted spare and bits and sends it to you for triage.

Good luck, Mr. Hot Socket Seeker! :eek:

:eek:

Fixed - you're welcome, bro!
