996 Fuel Door Hinge
This is such a piddling little problem I am a bit reluctant to bring it up. On my last fill-up, the fuel door hinge on my 2001 996 C2 broke. It's mostly plastic; the folks in Stuttgart probably saved 0.001 grams in weight. At any rate, the replacement part that everybody is offering is 997 201 063 (clearly a 997 part), which can be mounted but does not clear the anchor point for the tether on the fuel cap (see pics). So it can be used, but I had to remove the tether. Not a big deal but not right. Anyone have any wisdom (on this subject) to share?

Fuel door / anchor point
I made the same replacement and found the tether point obscured. I'm planning on drilling a new tether point, but before that happens, i have stuck the tether end into the square hole in the new hinge. The tether stays in place there unless you pull hard on it.

Where do you hang it when you are refueling? My 01 did not have a hook. So I used a Porsche valve stem support it worked great.
