Yeah, it’s just a matter of finding a cheap one or one that is just a big paper weight in someone’s garage that they want to get rid of for a good cause

 

So would any of these make good ‘dummy/part’ donors?

Not sure, one of the tip guys will have to chime in.

But, mad props to you for the effort.

 

The cases and gearing are the same on all of the 996 Turbo and 996.2 AWD tiptronics. There are differences in the number of steel and friction plates in the clutches. The upshot is the diff is the same, as far as I can tell, so any AWD 996.2 Tiptronic would be usable as a model.

I have had bad interactions with Quaife back when I wanted an ATB diff for my VW. They were virtually useless. I ended up buying a Peloquin ATB diff and I am very happy with it. I called Peloquin and spoke with the owner himself. He's now quite old and I am not sure if he would want to do a project like this.

 

Actually as back up I’ve been sending out emails to other vendors to see if I can get someone to bite at this chance. Again I’m approaching this from other angles tried before (from what I can tell).

 

Had a talk with Gary, nice guy, and very knowledgeable. Given the goals of this project he was honest that his diff was probably not the right choice. I was happy with his honesty and he did mention another person to contact and I guess great minds think alike because I had already reached out to that person (still waiting on a response though).

 

Progress has been slow but thanks to another member pointing me in the right direction I think we have someone interested in doing something for us 996 TT tip owners. He sent me a drawing (see attachment) and I have no clue where to find these measurements, can anyone help?

 

Fantastic effort, bravo!

 

Whoever is going to make this would have to measure this in order for it to be 100% correct.

 

is it LimitedSlip.DE?

 

yup! Now just need to figure out how to get someone that knows the measurements or get a hold of a sample to measure myself.

 

Would a 3D scan work?

 

I would like to say yes but depends on the format. Do you have one or know of someone that has that?

 

I would have a mechanical engineer take one apart, measure it, reassemble, then scan it.

 

Or just find one and ship it but I haven’t been able to find one.
