Where do you buy your used parts if you cant find them on Pelican or ebay?
Looking for a 911 3.2 engine tin set and bracket for a 3.6 conversion into an SC but not having much luck in the FS forum. Ebay not much help lately either. Any dismantlers I should be contacting that are reputable? I need to cast my net a little wider. Thanks

+1 for tom1394racing. I've bought several used parts from Tom and everything has been as advertised and very serviceable.

Packaging...........
Quote:
Have you guys noticed when you opened the package/s from Tom Butler? I’ve been buying used parts in this forum for a long time and have not seen anyone packaged their stuff as well as this guy. His attention to detail is amazing. See you Tom B. in Spring at Hershey. Tony |

Aase has some used stuff from time to time. Usually rare-ish and pricey.

LA dismantler - I"ve had luck
DC has treated me well Samba Rennlist 6speed though mostly late model.....3.6 is in between modern and true vintage ( yes, showing my age as they are 20y old) agree on Aase but descriptions good

I’ve known Tom for a long time. Been to his house multiple times to pick up parts. He often has things you wouldn’t expect. Like when I needed a “new” 915 transmission. Had one! Feels odd that I haven’t needed any parts lately so that I can visit and chat. |

+1. You never know who might be having a sale on Porsche parts.
![]() I always check Pelican first, but it is always possible that someone else is discounting the part you need.
