Dammit...I overheard you telling someone about your missing clips. I knew Rick had a set, and sent him to get together with you. Sorry it didn't happen.

I designed a laser cut stainless plate that goes over the condenser that will stop the motor in the even anything fails. Roger and Sean each have one of my inventions.

I leave the hood up every time I park the car in the garage. I've had the habit of checking things... surveying hoses and fittings, and these clips (I had one missing on a previous 928 - so these are on my radar). But why take the chance?...just ordered a pack of 10 locking clips.

These and 1-amp fuses would be good Frenzy swag.

Does anyone know of any other location on the 928 that would benefit from the same size clip?

Ed if you still have some I'll take 2. Just let me know what you want for them and I'll paypal you.

does anyone know if the McMaster clips are a better fit than the Porsche A/T clips? or is it just a finish difference?

Alan - If Ed can't help you I can - fitting since you sent me some 1 amp fuses.

FWIW: I just replaced me flimsy original clips with the Porsche A/T shifter clip 999-166-005-02. the fit is very snug and surely gives peace of mind.

being a new owner, posts like this are more than valuable.

if any of your old timers (no disrespect) can think of other posts like this, PLEASE give them a bump for the new guys. I am very appreciative!

I received the bag of 10 clips from McMaster-Carr today. They are made in Germany!
