Default PSD reservoir and need for Fender liners

I replaced the PSD fluid holding resevoir and secured the PSD control/power wires and reservoir drain hose.

Previously the wires where leaning against the side marker housing and perhaps due to heat of the marker light and vibration there was a deep grove in the body of the side marker.

So my recommendation is that if you have a PSD unit make sure you wires are not leaning/resting against the side marker

Very good advise from Herman.

Hereby a picture from a new replacement PSD-unit installed in my ROW (which do not have rear side markers) 928 GTS (as I did during August 2011. I'm still to write and post a full tutorial of how to do such... and I will sooner or later).

Thx Herman!
I'm about to install liner and needed a shot of this.
The stuff Sean got out of my PSD looked like brown milkshake...
WTF?
Over....

As a side question, are the PSD reservoirs once again available? I have flushed mine twice but I wouldn't mind stocking a reservoir.

Not sure if available again or not.
I've had mine sitting in my parts bin for 2 years.
Just now got a chance to install w Sean.
Got it from Roger, give him a call, see if it off of NLA status.

[Newbie warning]

I had to look up PSD in the official Acronym chart = Porsche Sperr Differential. Is this the thing indicated by option code 220? If so, holy crap, looks like I own another bit of complicated Porsche engineering. It was already on my todo list, but had no idea what it looked like.

The PSD started from MY 1990. Your 1987 has an LSD (limited slip differential).
