That was really dirty there because of the wonderful PS fluid that percolates out of the reservoir
Crazy indeed !!! Hence the name....
I have to admit that is one of the first items I have seem that say," Made in Italy" ??

You would replace the rubber in the replated caster blocks, right? I replaced the caster blocks in my 89 and the old ones were visibly worn out.
Oh, and nice pics. I would love to see your car.

Since I had the car in a million pieces again, to replace the oil pan, etc, I bought new ones... ( ya know, " While your in there", syndrome )
The plated old ones, are pictured above on the right...
The rubber is not affected by the plating chemicals ... I just wanted to make sure that the new blocks, didn't have something other than rubber that might cause an issue with those chemicals ....
These blocks are like 150 bucks +

OE speakers are made in Hungary (by Nokia). All the Narva light bulbs I bought were made in Hungary too.

Oh but of course !!
Besides I wanted to remove the old plating
Here is a picture of them after I removed the orig plating
If you get new dome/hatch lights, they're made in China. I can't remember for sure, but I think the box said "Made in Germany" but there was a sticker on the lens itself that said "Made in China".

I started a thread looking for German wheel bearings but was not able to find them. I ended up with Mexican SKF bearings too. If you ever find a source for German, Japanese or American made front wheel bearings, let me know!

Ed,
You should sell your car back to Porsche to be put in the Museum (at a great profit!).
