The Meaning of PET
I've seen a number of references to PET in talking about parts. From those, it appears to be some system about porsche parts. I don't know if this is part of a factory parts system or some thing independent. Is it a catelog? A reference work? A parts supplier? Can anyone help me out? thanks.

It is the computer based parts catelog.
Has every part for every Porsche ever made. (for the street) AFJuvat

This may help, then aagin it may not.
PET also stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate which a type of polyester plastic. It has low moisture absorption and good electrical resistance. It is used in many applications. I don't know if Porsche uses it in any of the parts they make but it normally imprinted on a part for recycling and engineering purposes.

Here's Pelican's part number: U-043-400-05
But I guess it's not available yet. They're only about $11.

I thought BMW (motorcycles at least) also use the PET system for parts. If my memory is correct PET must mean something other than Porsche....
Bill W. also ride '91 BMW R100GS/PD

Thanks to all who responded. I've marked my calendar to order one when they're supposed to be available.
