A Black Bosch coil for the 3.2 that works as well as the 35+ year old ones. The new silver Bosch coils are garbage and 50/50 if they work at all.

And a new tool kit that looks like something made by Porsche. I looked at one in person at Porsche Parade and the tools looked like the returns and rejects at Harbor Freight. Just a horrible finish on the metal parts. For the insane price it should look like Snap on tools with a double chrome finish.

Bosch would probably need to resume manufacturing in the fatherland for you two.

Rear brake calipers for a 914-6


Ha

Seriously though, exhaust and heat exchangers for 914- 4 would be nice

Decent 5.5 inch CHROME wheels for drum brake 356s. Something that won’t start to rust in 5 years.

I remember at least 9 years ago when I needed one, the metal fuel line between the rear of the tunnel and either the fuel filter or the accumulator on a 911SC was on the "NLA" list. Maybe even the return line as well.

Factory catalytic converters for those of us trying to get by in regulated states would be sweet

I will add to the coil suggestion - how many returned coils has Porsche received (mine was one) and yet they continue to offer that piece of junk.

Porsche likes to think of themselves as a premium brand but they don't always demonstrate it.

Given the quality of the parts that Porsche is making today, none. Either dedicate yourself to the highest level quality or don't make anything at all.

This.

If it comes from Porsche, it should be a better or at least as good as new, ready to go on the car and 100% functional.
