Default Factory Tire Inflator, where do I find?

I'm probably not looking carefully but I can't seem to locate one at 928 International or 928 Specialists on their websites. Does anyone know where I could get one?

Anyone also have a part number??? I need 2 for both my cars.

I'll sell you mine for.... hmmmm... $1,000! Let me know if interested!

Seriously, try ebay if you want the original, but there really isn't anything special about the 928 one. Just find one that's small enough to fit in the spare tire well. Or buy a AAA membership. Probably cheaper.

NLA fro Porsche. You'll have to find one on Ebay, at a swap meet, etc. They seem to be going for about $100.00 when they show on Ebay.

you never had to use a tow service for the 928, have you? either that or you've been lucky with them showing up within minutes - unless your time is free - and not damaging your "highly modified car" (since you installed an RMB or may be a non factory windshield wiper).

It pays to be as prepared as possible to avoid unecessary delays, not to mention embarrassment assuming all you need is a $9.00 Wallmart mini tire compressor for the situation. Just my opinion though.

Andy, if you want a really good tire gauge, call my friend Steve at C2 Motorsports. He's on Vickers Street there in K.M. 858/748-1197, I have one of the gauges he sells and love it, very accurate and bleeds air quickly. Tell him I sent you. But if you really MUST have a made in Taiwan gauge with a $100.00 Porsche crest on it...

If I could get this imported at a resonable price, I'd be all over it. I've wanted a clean OB for a while. And RHD is just a bonus.

Oops, prev post was in the wrong thread. I got an inflator on ebay, paid about $85 for it. It was offered on several cars from Porsche.

One of the vendors at Hershey had about a dozen of them, all brand new and unused, for $100 each.
