911 Re-engineered Parts ...list all you can think of
I got to thinking about all the various parts that have been re-engineered for the 911. This comes off the heels of a steering column bushing fix...
lets post pics of the old vs new and state why its better  Old - wore out  New - tighter fit, beefy size.  I bet you guys can list a ton! give it a shot

915 fixes come to mind, all kind of stiffing plates, bearings, axle shafts, cable mounts, coolers, clutches, etc.

pop-off valve for SC, various non rubber suspension bushings bearings, adding a headlight relay to save the switch, adding extra AC vents, deleting Carrera rear engine fan and making the footwells work, SSI heat exchangers for post 74s, and so many more

The Coupler Wisperer treatment and His shifter modification or the Seine shifter modification.
I rerouted my airbox drain to empty below the tranmission and installed the oiltank breather brass orifice that came in later cars so that they didn't stall when the oil cap was removed. This stops most oil from sloshing into the airbox. Not really reengineered parts - but using new parts to solve problems on older cars. Headlight relays went in when I replaced my melted brights switch on the turn indicator stalk.

WEVO internal shiftgate for the 915. Makes gear selection very positive. Expansive but worth it.....$900.00. I had TRE install it when they redid my trans a few years ago. works really really well.
Here are WEVO's words on it: "The WEVO GateShift kit is an ingenious kit of precision parts that create a gate system inside the 915 transmission. This kit enhances tactile sensations of gear selection and controls gear selection forces. The GateShift kit assists with "hand mapping" of the gear selection pattern and provides positive limits for each gear position. The GateShift kit mimics the operation of the internal gate that offers such an improvement to the G50 series transmissions. The WEVO GateShift kit includes all parts, gaskets and hardware required to install the kit. Designed for all road and race 915 transmission equipped 911's. "
