i'm a maintenance machinist and designed and made my own IMS assembly from 4140 and a bearing brass type bushing for my 97 Boxster.
Also made my own screw on oil filter adapter. Did this many years ago and no problems so far.
Tried to sell them on EBAY and Jake Raby from flat 6 innovations set his lawyer on me and and told me to cease and desist or face prosecution.
I didn't copy his idea or any dimensions. All my own work and proud of it.
My daughter has a 2001 Boxster and purchased a repair kit and tooling. When i was installing it i found the ceramic, bearing wouldn't seat against the face, (it was 3 thou short of contacting it) so i machined the radius so it would let the bearing sit all the way against the face. All went well after that and it still runs. I notified Flat 6 about this but never heard back.
