Default Good source of used parts for 924s?

If I need a used part for my 928, I fire off an email to 928 International and I know there's a good chance they have it. Is there anything similar to that for 924s? For instance, the dome light assembly in my '82 Turbo works...if I hold it together just right. It's broken in several places, and rather than try and glue it back together, if I could just buy an intact one from a junk yard, I'd prefer that route. I'm just not sure who to call...

OK, so it turns out the part new is about $18. Still, the question remains for future other parts

The 924/944 dome light is the same as a VW super beetle/golf/rabbit/jetta/scirocco dome light. $6 will buy you a brand new one, less than any used Porsche one will cost.

Mark at Plyhammer is great. If you don't see what you need ask, I'm pretty sure he has everything you can imagine, just not inventoried on the site all the time. Good guy.

For stuff that falls apart when old like visor clips and dome lights it's best to get new.
I suggest replacing both of the old Hella dome lights in your car as they can drain the battery when they start to crack apart, sometimes keeping the light on when it is supposed to be off. Six buck each new.

For the 928 GMB seems pretty good for around $100 and there are other options under $300.
