Remember Jim, the paved portion of the track is only a guide...

Don't know where Dublin, CA is, but Metric Specialties in Burbank would have them.

McMaster Carr

We have these - give Glenn a call at 1-888-280-7799x240.

Try Bowlins, 1107 10th St., Berkeley 510-527-8282.

Thanks guys - I will call Glenn tomorrow.

The Porsche PET cd shows an M5 nut with left hand threads for the throttle linkage with a part number of 900.076.029.02

Sergio... you must know that Partsheaven has a lot of this stuff!!!!

Just spoke with Glenn - 900.076.029.02 is NLA. I will at Kahler's this evening for the Diablo Track event tech and will check to see if Denny has any. If not, then I will check the other "usual suspects" (EASY, Partsheaven, Bowlins...). Thanks again guys - most helpful.

No luck with Denny. Bowlin's is checking to see if they can get some.

Found them! EASY and Brolins didn't have them but the local hobby store did. They are used by the radio control guys. Nylock and flanged no less.

what a saga! can't believe the solution for a Porsche was in a toy & hobby

... well maybe I can

Looks nice. Very resourceful on your part. They appear to be yellow zinc as well. That's the hardest part, getting yellow plated hardware. Next time, try the 356 supply houses and maybe a Weber rebuilder. Do I dare say Motormeister? Hey, they're good for something. Lastly, Henry Schmidt has it all.
