ecs tuning seems to have the ones with built in crossover

I have never seen a pic of the wire frame inside our shift boots, but will this one fit just the same? Have to get a boot for the new ****, but the past owner had just gotten a new boot, and I really don't want to cut into it.

Definitely silly question:

I have a brey-krause strut brace I'm looking to install. Is it as easy as undoing 2 nuts on each strut brace, sliding the strut brace on, and re-bolting the nuts? I shouldn't be afraid of having the car collapse on itself when I pull out the nuts that sit on top of the strut brace?

That won't fit. Its a very simple wire that is shaped in a square to go in the console. Much like a coat hanger shaped in a square.

I'll take a picture when I get home, I took my boot appart to redo it. No way Porsche is getting $250 for a new one.

Found my misplaced boot and see what you mean. Do you know a certain type wire that is malleable enough to just recreate the wire frame? It seems a bit thicker than the coat thin metal coat hangers I have lying around.

I'd try a hardware store...or perhaps a fabric store?

Is it a bad idea to remove the power steering belt to disable the power steering? My pump is leaking after me rebuilding it...sick of it!

Another car forum suggested piano wire bent into the same shape as the boot frame, so I'l try that.

Wouldn't this harm the steering rack eventually?



My silly question: anyone know where I can get the brake master cylinder (circular) o-ring? I don't see it listed separately.

Piano wire won't hold its shape. You want something more like a metal coat hanger.

You can get what's called metal tie wire in different gauges any most hardware or home improvement stores. Bends easy enough and will hold its shape.
