Default Coolant tank options?

It appears that the 968 coolant tank is NLA. Is this a recent development?....I can't seem to find any threads on the topic.

Regardless, what are folks doing in response? Will a 944 tank (Porsche part number ending in -06 instead of -08) work instead?

I suspected these were going NLA. The part # is 94410612508. I was able to verify the late 944s2 version # 94410612506 is not compatible because mount points are in different places.

Tom @ design 911 in NL believes he can get them as of the typing this post. Expect about $400 plus tariffs. 3-4wk lead time. I’ll update if it ships.

Thank you for the lead. I wonder how a European retailer is able to source an NLA item?

I spoke with someone who has access to Porsche’s global parts supply chain (not a dealer or similar). The tank isn’t NLA, it’s just out of stock….worldwide. He said that more will be produced but there is no ETA for when that will happen.

That's good news! I tried to get one earlier this year and also struck out. But can wait—the dirty old plastic tank works but time for a refresh.
