Randy, Art at Arredondo Motorsports is a good guy and is working well with me, he didn't touch the bolt, its just one of those things. The car is new to me and a bit neglected when I got it so I am already mentally braced for trouble over the next 6 to 8 months Also Art is just over a mile from my home which is a huge bonus. The car does have some history with 928 Motorwerks though, but its just not even a little bit convenient for me to drive it over that way. Art has some experience with 928s and came highly recommended. Plus he's already turning into a friend, unfortunately he is off with a racing team right now otherwise I know he would have driven over to help me out today.

Thanks for the recommendation though, if I was closer to Anaheim maybe...

Thanks Dave, yes he did, and I ordered one of his Aluminium under trays while I was at it, now just got to explain the extra expense to my wife

Last but not least....

The ABS and PSD warnings you got could be consistent with a belt slicing through the power lead to the ABS pump. That lead is a direct, unfused connection to the battery. If it touches metal it will short and can burn your 928 to the ground.

If you are missing a power steering belt or an alternator belt and cannot be totally sure that the ABS power lead is in one piece, then disconnect the battery and have the car flat-bedded to someone who can be sure one way or the other.
