Hello amigos!
I been reading things here allways on the 944 & S2 forum, It is amazing how much you can learn from here guys, many thanks to all for sharing so much info...amazing!!

I have 2 S2 projects one is almost ready to be back on the road and another one imported from UK so LHD to Spain where we live, I do not know what to do with this Uk one yet..

My question with your permission is, how in the world do I do to assembling the base of the Cup mirrors to the top bit "the housing" for the electric motor and so on...I have got a full set with all the parts original but no way I can put them together...it must be some trick or some way to do it...

Hopefully somebody can give me some hint (pictures will be even much apreciated of course!)

Thanks a lot.

Welcome, nice car!
Here is how the WSM suggests doing it.



But I made my own tool which allowed me to assemble it in a much more easier way. I could post a picture of it tomorrow, if you still need.

So gratefull for your reply H.F.B.! Honestly.

Many thanks! The car is been under a deep mechanical restoration I will post more stuff when have time.

I will love to see that picture, is no rush at all.

I think I understand what is saying, but will love to see that tool.

Many thanks!!

968 diy mirror tool.
M10 allen bolt
M10 nut
Weld together a wrench size 14mm and 17mm nut and drill a 10.5 mm hole.
Weld a special washer 34mm OD, 20mm ID, 11mm ID, 9mm height.



Insert the allen bold and the welded nut into the mirror bold and the mirror base.
Then assemble the rest. You'll find out how it works.

If that fuel pressure gauge is still on you're engine ( fuel injector rail ) , do not leave it there as they will eventually leak / burst & the resulting fire will not be want you want

They are only meant to be an inexpensive test & then remove item

I got the car like this, good input will remove it then...

Thanks!!

Thanks folks!!

Finally went home and put the parts together, I used a M12 or M10 Bolt, clamped to the vise and used 3 nuts to lock it from turning then did the 90º turn and voilá!! Job done!! Now time to save some bucks for the mirrors...so pricey here!!


Thank you guys and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!
