Perhaps show the customer the 920X tool from Arnnworx and let them decide if that would be an acceptable alternative way of checking belt tension? At the end of the day they do the same things and are both susceptible to the same shortcomings, but one is quite a bit less expensive.

Did you post over at the 928 Forum?

 

Seeing as you posted no details, saying that one must not assume to post seems idiotic.

Good luck finding a Factory 9201.

 

BrianB, Yes I've posted in the 928 forum but haven't stayed on top of it as much. Thanks, B

Modded, I posted that I need a P9201....that's it. What i didn't post was...hey guys im looking for a less expensive alternative to the factory P9201..... I appreciate your willingness to help but im not looking for an alternative.

As of now i need to find a factory P9201 that is fully functional and complete but cosmetic appearance makes no difference. If that option is not available and i must pay full value then im looking for a new Staeger that some German stashed away back in 1984. I've always thought of these more as a collector piece for the Porches purest, but im more or less being forced to buy one at the moment. I need to pick one up before the end of the month so if anyone can be of some assistance id appreciate it.

Thanks, G

 

if its really that serious then tell the guy to take the car somewhere else

 

Wow. Been a while since I've been on here. Let me wipe the dust off my e-brow.

Did you find the tool? I have a Staeger 9201 for sale. With original calibration bar. Altho not in an original case or box. Good shape, tho! See it here:

You do realize that the 9201 is $475.03 and the calibration bar is $25.47 brand new from Sonnen?

Ah, no, I did not. Did a few searches and came up with Pelican and Paragon. Didn't want to under-price (have done that for a few items), but will adjust accordingly when I have a chance. Thanks!

To help justify your purchase of the 9201,
I'll bring my '88 951 up to you for belts, rollers & water pump.

 

I have all the factory tools up for sale. This includes the Porsche made wrenches and flywheel lock. $600 OBO.

 

Now that's a decent deal. Little spendy though.

 

I have geniue tool and calibration bar. Barely used... Not for sale but maybe I would rent it to you.
