911 SC sound pad

[nacra6]

Hello,

I have a 1981 SC and the sound pad has come apart. Does the engine have to be

pulled to replace?

thank you

It is possible (I have done it), but for sure it is easier without the engine. There are several good threads here on this. This one explains it pretty well.

You will need to remove the air box and move some tubes (carefully). Another way is with a partial drop (6 inches or so).


Good luck.

Number of people have attached the new version with magnets. I'm pretty tempted to try that out.

I replaced the sound pad in my '80 SC by dropping the engine about three or four inches. It's doable.

Any thoughts as to replacement pads?
Photos?

Have a new pad ready to install; the original had a thick "skin" that faced outward, the new factory one not nearly as thick. Either way, I assume that the skin should face outward? Thanks.
