I'm in for one or two, as well. When I e-mailed in early February, I received a response that they would be manufactured for resale sometime in 2024.

I’d also be in for one or two. I didn’t realize they don’t make them anymore and would like a spare.

Well, as the attached response shows - this could be a long wait. Did i mention if anyone has a spare i'd happily buy it from you :-)

This seems like a part ripe for being 3D printed. (although I'm not 3d printing expert). Is that a better alternative than having RUF try and restart production? My guess is the tooling is old and worn and the market is too small now. I'd love one for my Turbo - an even smaller market than the NB cars!

You'd need a very large 3D printer. I think some of the send-away printing services can go that big using stereolithography but I have no idea what they'd charge to print one.

wow, while i gathered these were a sought after part ... but didn't realise the demand was quite that high!

I wonder how many people would be interested if the splitter were to be 'Ruf style' I.E without that logo on ...

I may have a plan here ..

I don't need the RUF logo. I just want it to fit perfect and hopefully be plastic.

I'd like 1 or 2 but must be in plastic- not FRP.
