Default Part number for original tire air...

I'm getting ready to mount some tires on my 78's phone dial rims. And was wondering if anyone still had original Porsche 928 phone dial tire air available...or is this NLA?

I guess if the new stuff is no longer available...used would work...but...must be in mint condition.

Brian.

I have some in #105 (but only three original tires) and some in the '80 Tartan car with original P6 Tires (but you may lose points as it's 1980 air and not 1978 date coded air - the part number may have been superceded by '80 - Rob will likely know the answer from PET). Let me know if you want a transfer some so we can document.

Alex,

This may be an option...but I'm really looking for 78 stuff.

Thank you,

Brian.

This seems to be a better option, just got off the phone with them and the nice lady there said they may have a batch coming in on their next shipment from Mars.

So, I've got my fingers crossed!

If you can't find the original air, you might try using some genuine Lucas wiring harness smoke....

Porsche compressed air that would be period-correct would be 911 361 511 01, which came with the '78-83 911.

I'm not sure...asked the tire tech at Belle tire to save the air when he dismounted the old tires, so I could check this...but he was young guy (newbie)...and probably didn't know the proper Porsche certified collection process.

Sometimes I really, really wonder about this younger generation and what type of world this will be once us oldtimers are all gone...

Bought these from Wayne (they were headed to China LOL)

Sure enough...there's always less of the more desirable 78 stuff...

Shipping cost, please. What am I saying...price is of no importance in a case like this...just send it!

Eat your heart out Alex.
