930S with embossed crest--anyone know?

[81SCp]

island911 -

if you are asking me how much - U$380.00. I thought that was pretty good. That's the wheel, embossed horn pad and adapter/spacer (looks like the pelican part PEL-SPEC-911).

Cool, thanks. Which dealer?

[callipygian911]

oh yeah, that's not embossed, as with the 968CS. but i assure you it IS definitely different than the one sold at pelican. it's actually flush with the surface of the wheel; it's inlaid and not merely glued on and sticking "out" as at pelican, which is far cooler IMHO, since that's how the ones from the factory came. oh how i wish wayne could get his mits on these...

[island911]

That does sound nice/better.
It seem to me that a person could inlay the crest themself. Just peel away the vinyl cover, and cut-away a recess for the crest, and recover. . . just a thought.

Well the suspense is killing me on this one. I just went ahead and ordered the 968CS horn pad from my local Porsche dealer. The list price at the dealer is $61.44. Of course, they don't have them in stock so it was a "special order" item. I will let everyone know when, and if, it arrives. I look forward to posting some pictures of it installed on my 930S wheel. My fingers are crossed!

Sorry, been off-line trying to finish a bathroom tile job. The Porsche dealer is in Portland Or.

After talking to the parts manager, he's says it will not fit the way it is - 16mm shaft vs. an 18mm shaft on my '81 SC. He does believe that in '82 the changed, so some of you maybe in luck there.

Well I finally purchased the wheel from my local dealer who brought it in from Germany. It had the embossed crest and went on without problems and I love it! I did not need the use of an additional spacer as the distance between wheel and dash are perfect and in-fact the whole thing is perfect!

Just thought that I would let all know who were interested.

So...which shaft does this correspond to? Are there different part numbers for post and pre-82 cars? I'm confused....

Wil -

I am new to Porsche and have learned a lot from this BBS - so others will be more knowledgeable. But, I was told before there was a difference in shafts (see above thread) and that's why the 968CS wheel would not fit my SC.

However, this is a 930S wheel direct from Porsche and fits my 81SC. I know that others wanted to know if the horn pad would fit there 930S wheels bought from Pelican and I would be more then willing to take detailed measurements and photos if someone wanted to know if the pad would fit there previously purchased wheel.

Brendan,

Out of curiousity, what is the part number of the wheel you ordered? The 968CS wheel is P/N 968.347.084.00, but it is not a direct bolt-on for an early 80's 911. Do you happen to have a picture that shows the hub adapter as well?

Thank you,

Brian

Brian -

No pics other then what I posted - sorry! But, if some of you really want to see other shots, I may be willing to remove and photograph.

I have a PN - but, it my be the dealer's number 000-043-161-00-8YR - not sure.

It bolted right on to my 81SC!

PET says the number posted above is "sport steering wheel"
8YR is the code for black
price list quotes about $440

[81SCp]

sounds correct then, but I paid about $60 less then MSRP

Brendan- could you possibly take a pic of the back of the horn pad? The pad on my 930s basically attaches to the horn ring setup with 3 plastic clips. I'm assuming that if yours is the same & the radius of the horn ring piece is the same then they are interchangeable.
thanks!

[81SCp]

Here is a couple of pics of the back of the horn pad. I hope this helps, if more or something else is needed - just let me know.

So what does the adaptor look like that came with this wheel? What dealer did you get it from?

It certainly *looks* very similar to the pad on my 930s wheel. Can't quite read the calliper measurement but I think I'm going to keep waiting for the pad from pelican

Are you and Island looking at the correct item. Look two items down; thats definetively EMBOSSED

EDIT: It also has the long seam in the bottom spoke, and no seams or glued smaller patches on the two upper spokes as the AJ and PP items have
