Is there something holding the fluid reservoir to the brake master cylinder('86.5) or do I have to just be a man and pry it off?

Thanks,

 

It's just a press fit inside removable rubber seals.

 

Pull straight up .... after covering the fender to protect the paint from spattering brake fluid ...

 

Thanks, got it off!

 

Putting on a new one? IIRC that seal below is not available apat from the tank.

 

should be available ...PET parts database shows them as a 911 part.

 

PET and parts suppliers are two different things. WorldPac and SSF are giant parts suppliers - they do not recognize the part number (at least last time I tried to get one).

We are also facing a period where many parts will dry up. The fuel supply hoses for the early cars are no longer supplied, and many other parts I'm discovering are no longer stocked anywhere. The 944 guys are starting to get hit by this as well. Porsche is not required to produce parts forever - if there is no aftermarket demand, parts are no longer around.

 

The grommets are same as MB use, made by ATE. Mine had a soft pedal, empty tank when I got it. Grommets were soft, got 2 for $5, fixed problem.

The replacement master from Autozone - Cardone came with new grommets!

 

The latest PET indicates that they are still available thru Porsche dealers. The big three buy thru Porsche dealers, so they may not stock them, but they can get them by special order.

How does SSF or WorldPac compare on price/availability with discount genuine Porsche parts dealers, like Sunset Porsche? Do they sell retail?

 

WorlPac sells the same parts the Porsche dealer sells - usually from the OEM supplier. You must be a dealer / reseller to buy from WorldPac.

 

They're $2.65 from 928 Specialists listed as a 911 part. It's also a standard ATE or *** part.
