headlight switch retaining nut

[brown911]

Hi, I'm after a new headlight switch retaining nut (the one requiring circlip pliers to remove). I have searched through the pelican parts catalogue but have been unable to locate it . Would someone please be able to provide a part number or link if available.

Thanks.

Anything for the folks "Down Under".

You owe me a Crown Lager!

Try entering the part number in the search box at the top, left side of this screen. I'm pretty sure they can get them, as can any Porsche dealer.

If this is what you are looking for,
I saved this one when I replaced
the headlight switch in our '86.

If not available from your local P-Dealer,
pm me with your address, and you can have it.

Now, about that Crown Lager................

Cheers,

Gerry

If it's the same one I'm thinking of I used the little knurled nut off of a presta vlave on my bicycle, the threads are identical. It is the little nut that holds the valve for your inner tube close against the rim, most people just toss 'em.

I had a split nut for the headlight switch. I purchased a version that was available and cut the nut to lenght and threaded the hole. The unthreaded blank hole was marginal almost marginal. It tap doesn’t give you 100% thread, but the stress isn’t that high.
