Didn't take me long to figure out how many of those I was going to be able to sell, to a group of people who think that Ford (and now Volvo) motor mounts must be better, just because they were cheaper....

Thats what I am talking about!
Could not have said it any better Greg!!

Speedtoy's, check out my radiator I had built to 928 cad drawings out of brass and copper with new frame, drop in and roll for $600.00 when you are up here or contact Seattle Radiator and be persistent with getting them to do another one. Most in the shop are not aware they can do it but the owner.

Or... until Porsche supercedes it with a new part number and a higher price tag!

Porsche isn't having any more made....and Behr isn't either, from what I'm told.

I personally think that a radiator that lasts for 30 years is worth the price that Porsche charged, BTW.

I have plenty of the two cooler original Behr radiators for $825.
No problem if you do not need one cooler.
