I need just one piston wrist-pin retaining clip. The little c-shaped wire that keeps the wrist-pin in the piston. Anyone have an extra one laying around?

I'm also in need of bolts for the oil pan and balance shaft covers.

Lart, anyone???????

I'd just worry about the piston clip.

It's not worth the effort to source and clean used hardware. Take a look at PET and see what bolts you'll need for the pan, b-shaft covers, and you might as well get the hardware for the oil pump as well. Don't forget to get the the 6 M8 x 1.25 bolts for the front of the balance shaft housing as well. Anyway, assemble your list and go down to ace or even copperstate nut & bolt and pick up the hardware. It should be a variety of M6 x 1.0 and M8 x 1.25 8.8 bolts. Don't forget washers and it's okay to go a couple of MM's longer if that's all they have.

I've been using Ace to replace all the worn hardware I find on my car (mostly exhaust stuff at this point), but they will have what you need, probably several different variations of it (SS/Zinc coated etc). It's a little more expensive than if you bought in bulk from a supplier, but much much cheaper than buying individual bolts from Porsche, and every bolt I have replaced has been stronger than OEM (what comes off is mostly 8,8, I've replaced with 10,9 and 12,9 for several).

Thanks Lart! I got it in the mail today.

What pains me the most is now I'll have to stop giving you crap for being the butcher of so many 951's.
