Default Oil separarator bellows

Hi all.
Have a leaking oil sep. bellows, broken console hinge and broken driver side air vent.
Tried Pelican, but shipping is twice the part price.
Any ideas/ options on where to get small parts?
Thanks, A.

Your local Porsche dealership or salvage yard are your only other option. Shipping is just a necessary part of buying sometimes.

Is it easy to install those parts?

Would be glad to use dealer, but here in third world WNC there isn't one.
There are very good posts here and on Renntech on repairing these minor things.

Seems obvious. Pay the shipping. What are we talking? 8 bucks?

sunset imports. not sure what the bellows costs, but it's a pain to replace and you have to remove the separator anyway. why not just replace the entire oil separator since it's bound to go bad anyway? oil separator with bellows is about $80 from sunset imports. they will charge you the actual UPS cost for shipping (just a few bucks).

+1 on Sunset Imports. I have ordered some interior trim pieces, brake pads, plugs, filters, etc and they have great prices and fair shipping.
