Post Where to buy replacement front pan drain plugs?

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement drain plugs for the front trunk pan? There are five or six plugs through the pan floor below the spare tire. These plugs do not appear on the Porsche parts system and there appears to be no Porsche part number for them. I have had no luck with several dealers and the PCNA Customer Commitment Dept.

Any ideas before I start calling the used parts retailers?

I got several replacements from my local Porsche dealer. We couldn't find them on the micro-fiche, but armed with a brief description of the plugs (a bullet like piece of rubber) he found them somewhere in the parts room. Sorry, but I don't remember what part number he found them under.

Advantage Porsche/Audi in Houston coughed up replacement plugs w. no sign of confusion whatsoever.

They're happy to sell mail-order - 281/493-1000.

No affiliation, blah blah blah.

If I am not mistaken the part number for the rubber plugs is 964-504-213-00. (updated) It is listed under the "cost of ownership" information in my web site.

I paid $1.73 each (list $2.51) through Phil Anderson at Suncoast Porsche ( panderson@automaxplus.com , or 941-923-1700).

Robin, according to my receipt, the part is #911-631-259-02, "Rubber drain hose".

Anir's correct, the number is 911-631-259-02. After receiving Robin's reply, I called Jim Ellis Porsche and they provided the part number. This new number must supercede the number Robin provided.

I filled one of the holes with the bolt for Gert's Front Protection Bar. Thanks for providing the part # so I can fill the rest.
