Rubber bits
Does anybody know where I can get these little rubber stopper parts? They hold the washer fluid motor to the bracket mounted on the inside of the engine bay. 3 are required. (they are identified in PET as 914 628 741 00). I don't know if a local hardware store would carry something equivalent?

well I've crossed over - I am now a fabricator!
I found some close parts at the local hardware store. Did some measuring and marking, then with the appropriate dremmel cutting tool, made the additional groove missing from the part I found. After fussing with them (there are 3 of these things, and they need to be rubber), they fit perfectly, and the business end is the same dimension as the original nipple.
I also R&R'd the washer motor - that was a bit of a little job - my one gear was frozen. Got it out, but the hole for the shaft was too tight to allow the gear to turn. Used a small drill bit and augered it out just enuff. Turns freely now.
This is the fun stuff of the car hobby. A shop could never do this kind of resto work - would be cost prohibitive. That's why many replace rather than repair these days (not shop bashing Greg - I never hesitate to let my good shop do the heavy lifting stuff on my cars
)

I always tell new 928 folks that want a 928 I am willing to help them learn to do the work them self.
I helped pull a S4 motor this Monday, even loaned a couple of grand of tools and did not make a dime, I enjoy that part of the hobby.
One thing is for sure, it would get damned expensive to pay anybody to do that level of work.
My suggestion has always been, learn to do the work your self, or be willing to pay some one who will do it right, flat rate does not apply to a 928 in most cases.
Also, i know you are not mechanic bashing, I have read to many of your threads to ever suspect that.

We sell them for $5 each and they come from Mr Porsche.
Pelican has them for $3.75 probably OEM.
