I also bought some of their window switches for a 924S - They have been real good. I think they are better quality than some of the more expensive OEM switches from the normal suppliers that I have used for years. Just my input.
I hope it works out.
That's where I got my new Hamburg-Technic water pump. I have been procrastinating on installing it, but have already conceded to replacing it before I put 25k miles on it. Looks decent, but I don't trust looks, and for the savings (at least for what I have going on right now) over a Porsche pump, I'll use it with a shorter service life. Nice to know you haven't had any issues with it. I hope I have the same luck...

I am assuming that it is a different company from Deutch Nine who is a sponsor here on Renn List. Is this correct?

BTW thanks for the heads up...

bought some of the 951 style castor blocks. Hope they hold up. So far so good. Will probably buy some OE 968 ones this winter.

Just to make sure people don't mistake this company for Deutsch 9. Totally different ballgame.

The water pump was certainly a gamble on my part and so far it's paid off. The casting was poor, but it fit well in the end. I was also concerned about the pully "depth" as some here have had issues with the pulley rubbing the balance belt after assembly. No problem on my 924S with the updates. I would recommend diligent research on part numbers of the pump and the application though.
