Replacement for Plastic Nut and Push Button
I am looking for replacement body parts.
The first is the plastic nuts that hold the plate that goes over the brake servo. P/N is 999 049 012 40
The second is the plastic push button that holds the rear seat side panel. P/N is 90 068 501
Are there commercial substitutes for these parts. If so where can I find them.
Thanks guys

Ditto getting factory parts for this replacement (esp. for so few pieces.)
However, you could spend quality time in McMaster-Carr's "nut" section. (It's just the time spent researching/finding/ordering vs. the likelihood of significant savings is pretty much nil.)
But when I needed a few dozen valve cover nuts [locking M6x1], M-C was where I went. I ordered their min. gross: a hundred (enough for nearly 3 valve jobs!) without breaking a $20!
Try doing that via Porsche's parts...
Of course, there's always Lowe's/Home Depot's 'Specialty' nut bins...
Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky!

Thanks Rob and Lonnie,
I tried to get my local Porsche dealer to order them with no luck. My next best shot is via a dismantler, but they often don't want to deal with such small $ parts.
I have spent a bit of time in hardware stores., both plastic nuts mate to a sheet metal type of screw, not a standard SAE thread. McMasters-Carr approach is difficult, since I do not know the thread specs or what would work.

They are only pennies each, and theres no valid reason you dealer cant order them (indeed I'm amazed they havent got them on the shelf as they fit a number of models and locations) I ordered the brake cover ones a couple of months ago without problem

Try a different dealer. I have ordered very small items through EBS Racing and they have been able to get everything I needed so far. Others speak highly of Sunset Porsche.
