Thread title for attention (we need some humor 'round here these days anyway).


Looking for some original upper strut mount nuts with these yellow/red paint markings on them from the factory. I know someone must have some laying around from when they swapped to aftermarket camber plates, etc.

If you have them laying around in a spare parts bin, please let me know.

 

I found deez nuts, though it appears that my nuts are bigger than yours.

 

Specifically looking for deez nuts that mount the strut mount to the shock tower.

Must have the yellow/red paint. Preferably in better condition than those shown in my first pic. Like deez...

 

Hard to apply paint like that?

 

Hi Brian
i should still have them, will look for it when i'm back in town

 

​​​​​​​Yes. I can build a whole car but incapable of taking a paint marker to nuts.


As stated, I'm looking for original ones in good condition. The ones sold by Porsche are no longer the same style. Original ones are flat top. The current ones are domed.

 

Thanks!

 

Brian, I found 4 of them that I replaced when changing my struts. Could not find the other 4. PM me your address if you want them and I will mail them to you.

 

Thanks! Will do.

If anyone else has any others, please let me know.

 

In the spirit of deep fakes:

 

I know it's hard to appreciate the level of detail here but as previously stated, I want original nuts (from the 90's). The ones sold today are different (domed vs flat). If I wanted to paint new nuts, I would. If I wanted to put nail polish on them, I'd just go jump off the GWB instead.


Left (original). Right (current offering).

 

Many thanks for mailing me those four today. If anyone else has any, I would like to gather up some more.

Thanks!!

 

Bump. Still looking for some more of these.

 

I’d drop by your local indies. I’m sure they have a bunch of these stashed in a spare nut jar sitting on a shelf.
