Source for 993 OEM "sound absorber"?

[ftownsen]

Hope someone in the forum can help.

I need some of the original material used under the floor carpeting for my 993.

It is called "sound absorber" in the catalog under the topic "body sound proofing" and is a thick rubber with a felt or jute backing. Example part numbers for the two pieces under the rear footwell carpet would be 993 556 215 00 and 993 556 216 00 (for left and right).

Does anyone know if a source for this (other than Porsche)? It must be available somewhere.

Note: not looking for substitute material - Dynamat, Fatmat, etc.


Thanks!

Did you check Pelican parts?

Thanks!

you have 2 options
1) buy from a discount dealer like Hennessey or Sunset
2) buy from a wrecking yard, though I doubt that they will peel the carpet off for you and it may be damaged during removal, they are glued down real well

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

I ordered the two sound absorbers from Pelican Parts (special order).
