"I‘ll have to pick up some 2“ heat shrink in case it ever happens again. ( or to help others )"
Just make sure you get the "marine grade"(as mentioned earlier) or the "out door/direct burial" type with the hot glue inside - or you could develop a vacuum leak...

Your a great guy and always trying to help others !!!!!
Thanks. I stock some spare 996 parts, so I don’t have to wait if I need them, or to help others if they need something right away.
I used to stock BMW parts too,but started running out of room and gave most of them away.
Most of the cars I work on are older Domestic and Asian, but occasionally I get to work on European cars.
That looks like a good idea.

I’ve already ordered a new filler tube from Pelican Parts.
I was shocked at the price!
$75
fyi $57.32 at autoatlanta, plus shipping of course

Doh, I checked Suncoast and couldn’t find it, then checked Sunset.
I used Google Shopping and didn’t find a significantly cheaper price so I went with Pelican. (I like that they’ve published DIY info)
Changed the parking bulbs in the headlights. And mounted a rear view camera. Just so everyone knows, pushing a wire through that grommet in the back is a MAJOR %#*&^$ pain ... not to mention all the interior trim and carpet on the passenger side had to be removed. And bumper, but that was easy. Found alot of loose crap that we tightened up, though.
OMG! Pushing wiring through that grommet WAS a PIA! I was pretty sore from being crammed into the space behind the seats. There is a lot of thick insulation back there. I sure like having the camera view though.
I use them for oil changes on all cars EXCEPT the Porsche........Porsche oil change is done by just using the slope of the driveway...I get enough clearance to do it while keeping the car relatively flat
I finally was able to get Mobil 1 5w-40 replaced with Driven DT-40. I had dropped the oil off at my indy probably 6 weeks ago and then the world went crazy, work went crazy, and we couldn't sync our schedules until this morning. Two previous UOA indicated excess oxidation and hence the change in oil. 6 months or 5k, whichever comes first, and i'll do a 3rd UOA.
I finally received everything I needed to finish my UAOS install + maintenance.
In addition to the AOS, I also replaced my oil filler tube, vacuum hoses, vacuum hardline, vacuum elbows, vacuum tees, idler pulleys, intake gaskets, t-connector, coolant hoses, and AOS hoses. ( a lot of while you’re in there stuff)
I swapped out my Ben‘s plenum and GT3 throttle body for the original factory one.
The Ben‘s plenum AOS connection is different and I decided to not modify the UAOS.
I‘ll keep the Ben‘s plenum and GT3 TB for a future car...or I might just sell/trade them.
I learned some new tips that really make R&Ring the AOS a lot easier.
I‘ll post those tips when I get a chance in the UAOS Tips and Tricks Thread.
The UAOS runs under 5 in/H2O.
The best thing is I hadn’t driven my 996 in almost 3 weeks, so it felt awesome on the short test drive.
I should probably repeat the test drive soon...just in case.
Yes, I think you're right however there is a U-T story saying SDPD has cited 125 people to date. I've apparently read my one free article for the month so I don't know the details.
I saw this guy about an hour ago on 15 north. I guess essential driving is subjective.

Here are some finished photos:
Looks great. I have a cold air intake as well. I was a bit freaked out when I was driving in a light rain and all of a sudden this huge white cloud appeared behind me for about 10 seconds. I was freaking that the motor was blown. I spoke to the guy who installed it and he said water got sucked in and made that cloud. I will be going back to the stock air box It looked like a scene out of a Bond movie
