Well, like I don't have anything better to do on my car? Like there are not xxx jobs waiting to be done to get the car on the road. Somehow I decided to fix the mudguards just because. The holes where the fasteners go were cracked on material missing so I glued pieces of SS to the plastic and sprayed them with black stonechip stuff. The bracket that is supposed to hold a tube for cooling the alternator was totally rusted so I made a new one from a strip of scrap SS. Hoping this will hold...
For the looks of it I would have liked to spray the mudguard with Eastwood Plastic Resurfacer but this is very hard to find in the Netherlands. At ridiculous prices yes, but I'll keep an eye for that stuff.

Nice job, Ad. Looks good.

now that you have the bracket made, remove it from the block off plate,

Attach it to the spoiler airduct support with a 6mm bolt
then ziptie the hose into it .

The bracket will hold the hose in a proper U turn,
and the support will hold the bracket out of the way of the headlamp

In a car without brake cooling ducts this is not possible. Retrofitting the braje cooling ducts is also not an option because the bracket to the fender does not allow the ducts to pass through.

I cannot see why not? It ends up in almost the exact same place as when attached to the splash shield.

The fastening to the back of the splash shield was a completely boneheaded idea not worth of Porsche minds - another B-team (or C-team) idea.

So what's the correct PET name for that plastic shield part?

Taguid

It is called retaining bar in PET 928-603-139-00. I just installed it and a new driver side front inner wheel well cover 928-504-221-11 for a 91 S4 because it was broken and the seals were disintegrating.

On the 1982 PET it is #19 and #20 on the following page:
19 = breather hose 928 603 143 00
20 = retaining bar 928 603 139 00
on page 901-05

The plastic shield part!

Taguid

In the 91 PET it is called "cover". Not very explicit.

Cover 928 504 221 10

Ah, OK - so a 'front wheel housing cover'.

Alan

Most common usage here on the forum seems to be: Splash Shield for the vertical plastic plates (front and rear as fitted - varies by year) and Wheel (Well) Liner for the flexible liner part (front and rear as fitted - also varies by year),

I call it a front fender block off plate
