Default Help! My grill just fell out

Hey everyone, I need to see if anybody has any grill brackets for sale, the ones that run horizonal in the grill, part#'s 92855913702, and 92855913902.
The plastic brackets, anybody? I thing they are only on the early cars,pre- S4 models.
TIA

You mean verticle, right? The three horizontal pieces are all the same.

The center bracket is NLA from Porsche and I think the big three are all out of them. The two outer brackets were still available from the big three last I heard. I'd start making calls to Porsche dealers around the country in the hops they have some NOS available. I'd try Stoddards in Ohio first. I once found an NLA early seat pivot bolt available when nobody else had it. I think they have a few dusty 928 parts laying around. You might get lucky.

We are looking into having the NLA piece made at the moment but I do not have an estimated time or price but I will post something when I do.

Phew....that's a relief. I imagine the life span of those things are only a few years at best. Can't understand why Porsche would NLA a part that takes the brunt of any Front S spoiler strike.

John odds are they literally " broke the mold " . The accounting department then looked at past sales numbers , the cost of a new mold , had marketing project future sales potential and made the determination that it would not make money . Trust me on this Porsche is determined to make money in the short term .

I think we need to talk to Kempf and see if one of the shops he works with that does injection castings can price this out. Lucky for me I have a spare bracket, but I doubt it will remain in storage long.

I need 3 brackets for 1981 928 front grill. Where can I get these? Anything stronger than original?
