Hi All!
Just wanted to let everyone know what a great guy Tom is!
I have a 2013 C2S and got a set of these mounts from Tom several months back and just got around to installing them. When I put the mounts against the bumper just to do a dry fit, they didn't sit flush against the bumper. Come to find out the circular bosses the mount fits over was larger on my car (measured at 11mm vs 8mm on the mounts) Called Tom and after measuring and discussing he made me some new larger ones and mailed them to me. The new ones fit perfect and look great. What a great guy and was wanting to make it right and it wasn't even anything he did wrong. Who does this anymore!!!! We don't know the reason my circular bosses were larger or when Porsche changed them. He seems to think all after 2017 fit fine, but not sure. If ya have a early 991.1, ya should measure.
So the purpose of this is to thank Tom for everything AND to pay it forward! If someone wants these great mounts, I'll be glad to offer them for free including shipping to lower U.S. Just let me know and first come first served!
Hope I can help someone else out. Thanks again Tom....really appreciated your help!

Hi Richard!
win win winner! They are yours. I’ll get them together and probably mail them to you tomorrow. They are black if that’s OK for you.
They are great quality and I really like the way they look on the car! Hope you enjoy.

I’ve had these on two vehicles for over a year. These work well.

Hey Rick!
I just mailed the mounts this morning. I sent UPS and it shows getting there on next Tuesday.
You’ll need (4) screws M6 x 1.0 x 10mm cuz I used them on mine. I sent Tom’s instruction information sheet as well. I’m sure you’ll really like them.....cheers. Nice looking Targa by the way!

I emailed and PM'ed the OP, but haven't heard back for a while so I'm not sure if they're still being offered.
Will probably try to 3D print them myself but wondered if anyone had a link to a good set of shallow M6-1.0 threaded inserts?

Thanks, I have this link, but just wondered if anyone had an Amazon/online link for the threaded inserts - where I'm from, bc of the pandemic, doing in-store shopping isn't really happening.
