Is the cap red to show its hot, or to match the paint? Can I have one in white please, if the latter? Will order one next time I can justify the postage to Oz.

Jerry, you are the penultimate entrepeneur. I'm really glad you're on our side
If I didn't have an old, crispy, ready to break at a moment's notice, stock cap for my '85, I'd order yours in a heartbeat. As it is, it may take me a day or two...
Best Regards,

I never listed these for sale in this thread because I had closed my small business membership. So, I can only discuss this with you outside of this Forum. So, send me an email.

I should have bumped this thread in my Sponsorship Membership before Xmas because this would have made a perfect stocking gift to yourself. I still have several of these kits available. I am selling them in this membership for $45 shipped domestically. You can contact me here or by email at Jfeather@bresnan.net, which is my paypal email, or at 928redesign@gmail.com. I can ship forthwith. Jerry Feather

I always thought it was interesting how often the missing jump post cover was noted when someone posted a picture of his engine compartment. Some of mine are missing also, so I decided to see if I could come up with a new and better, more robust, design of one. I of course made mine out of ABS plastic and a bit heavier than the factory item. I moved it forward about a half inch and rounded it at the corners. Then I put some cool looking fins or ribs on the inboard face of it. I beefed it up further inside, mainly by adding the flange(s) on top to go over the inner edge of the fender, and I put a fairly thick doubler under the mounting hole. That makes the Cover cover more of the jump post so I had to devise and fabricate a new Jump Post Cap out of red Acetal with the correct metric threads in an insert pressed into it. Then I redesigned the cap lanyard so it is more purpose intended than the original one appears. Here are some pictures of what I came up with. jfeather@bresnan.net

This original Thread was pretty much informational only in that I did not offer this kit for sale when I did the thread. However, now I am offering this kit to Rennlist Members and Users for $45 shipped domestically. The only caveat is that this kit will work in the early 928s that have the push on Cap, but only if you source a Jump Post that has the threaded stud on it as with the later cars. My Cap will not push on successfully. You can paypal to me at:

I ordered a genuine Porsche jump post cover and cap two years ago from my local Porsche store, cost +/- $15.00 IIRC.
