Default 85-88 pod Foil..getting low.
Only 10 left in the world...put one in your cabinet now..7 US, 3 DE.

I ordered one because my pod will be out soon to chase down an issue..and who knows if I'll need one.

Unless you care about originality, the Lutz Board replacement setup is a much better design IMO. I'll leave the 10 foils for those with the concourse cars.

$350-$400 tomorrow (after a period where you cant get an OE one, and they haven't designed one yet)


How often do you get to buy the perfect OE parts significantly cheaper than the aftermarket one?

I saw the year in the bottom listing and didn't realize it was for 944/968 and not the 928. Sorry.

The guys at Lutz are incredibly helpful.
And certainly very pleasant to talk to.
However, we've just been terribly unlucky (or terribly klutzy.)
We've not installed a single "kit" that worked and didn't need a replacement part.

Actually, Lutz has a set-up for an 85-86 cluster. He used my cluster to develop it. I haven't put it in yet, but I will in the next week or two (or three... ).

Well, until you have to pay 2x for a fix, you can still get one of 10 9 remaining foils.

I wondered when this stock was going to dwindle. Luckily someone here just offered a NIB foil of this vintage in a For Sale thread just a while ago for an even better price than MSRP. Now it’s waiting in deep storage in a dry place.

I have 4 in stock - 3 in Atlanta and 36 in Germany - not quite as low as stated.
