I bought one through California Car cover company. I got a Noah car cover. I was made by covercraft, so you could probably order directly from them.
Thanks. For those prices, I might as well buy one with the Porsche logo already on it. Guess I've been spoiled by having a car cover come with my other cars.
Is any grinding of the mounting surface of the ears / tabs necessary? Is the belt turning straight and true? Where does the spacer, that you mentioned, go? Thanks for this tip - I may replicate this application. Every ounce, never mind pounds, count!
A little bit grinding is needed, but not much. See the red line.
Spacer change is needed, if you go for a freewheel pulley, as I did. The Spacer is directly behind the pulley.
Small changes as I start eating this elephant of a 968 that I bought. I hate the plastic trim connectors that started to become ubiquitous right during the time my 968 was manufactured so when I had to remove the glove bin trim piece in the engine bay, I took the opportunity to change out the clips in the body for these guys:
M6 thread, 16 mm flange
Here's how I expect that to work, in the distant future: I might need to alter that knurled screw head a bit, but it fits very nicely right now in the trim piece
These little bits of "improvement" help me feel like I'm making some kind of progress on this car.
Interesting. That's one of the places that has had no problem at all on mine. Lots of other clips, screws, etc. that were missing or wrong, just not there.

Definitely one of those improvements 'as you're going along'. Great for blind holes saving fiddling to hold a nut and washer one side while trying to tighten up the other side. What's the proper name for that type of threaded rivet - jack nut or something like that?
