Found mine on eBay. A 930 manual may be more difficult to locate.

I've been looking on Ebay, with no luck. The only one I've seen there was printed in German. I was hoping there might be a source for a reproduction.

Thanks MadKow, I see they have a manual for an 81' 911. I'm gonna call them and see if there is a different manual for the 930.

Thanks

I called Performance Products.com and they have a manual specifically for the 1981, 930. They said it's a special order item, but they happen to have just got an order of them in so I called at the right time.

Thanks for the help!

Looks like the 1981 turbo manual is no longer available from our host but lots of others are here.

This is'nt looking good.

I ordered this manual from Performance products. they said they had some on hand and would ship it out right away. Well, a week or so later I get a letter telling me the manual is on backorder, and should arrive 2/6/2007. Well, that date has come and gone and still no manual. I call them to see what was going on and they now tell me it's on factory backorder and they have no idea of when they will be available. So I'm figuring after a while they wil tell me they are no longer available, since that's what most other sources are already telling me.

So what now?

Anyone know of a place that actually has a 1981 930 manual in stock?

Thanks

Definitely not cheap, but NOS is good.

Do ya think a 1981 911 turbo manual would be the same as a 1981 930 manual?
