Anyone know the size/type of the stainless screws for the factory side mirrors? I need some new ones and would assume they can be bought from a non-porsche source

Not on my shop computer where my pet so can't look it up, but its the same as the screws holding the latch mechanism on the doors

There is a free down load of the factory PET somewhere here. Its invaluable

6 x 12 mm, raised, countersunk. The "raised" means an oval head, not a flat one. Hard to find on the aftermarket. 914 531 523 10. The PET sisc is available from your friendly local dealership. They probably have to order it. It's around 11-12 bucks.

Thank you...I need 4!

Good Lord, 11-12 bucks APIECE? This screw, M6-1.0 x 12 mm Phillips Oval Head Metric Machine Screw DIN 966A, A2 Stainless Steel, 100 pcs?

At industrial suppliers they're $18 per box of 100, so 18 cents apiece. For example Fastener Mart, http://www.fastenermart.com/html/MSC130-0412.html

I need two so I'll try the local Fastenal. If they don't have stock I'll order a box of 100, cheaper than buying two screws at Porsche.

S'all I do

Posted by: bandjoey Jan 4 2013, 04:33 PM

Someone here like A&P girl or 914 Rubber sells the original screws. Check vendors.

Posted by: mepstein Jan 4 2013, 04:39 PM

A&P's are $13/set shipped.

I ordered a box of 100. Anyone need some?

Posted by: mepstein Jan 4 2013, 06:13 PM

I'll take a couple. I'm putting a passenger side mirror on my car at Scotty B's. Hold them aside and we'll settle up soon. Thanks

You're not going to work on a group buy with Bill ?


Bill, I'll probably buy what you don't want for future jobs. I'm trying to start stocking up on new s.s. screws and bolts for various applications. You'll see when you get up here

Posted by: DBCooper Jan 4 2013, 07:30 PM

I don't need a whole box. If you're buying a hundred could I get 8 from you (two mirrors, two cars)?

Thanks

Posted by: billh1963 Jan 4 2013, 07:45 PM

I'll have plenty! If they match the Porsche originals everyone is welcome to get in on the action.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 4 2013, 11:12 PM

Mirrors and door latch plates, both sides. Keep 18-20 for yourself.

Posted by: billh1963 Jan 16 2013, 05:14 PM

Screws fit perfectly! For those who want some, paypal as a gift what you think they ae worth (certainly not a bunch ) and I'll mail some out. Limit 4 per customer until I run out (I have around 50).

Posted by: euro911 Jan 16 2013, 09:01 PM

I could use 4, Bill. PM me your Pay Pal address

Posted by: DBCooper Jan 16 2013, 10:50 PM

Me too. Thanks.

Posted by: bluhun Jan 17 2013, 01:46 AM

I'll take two as well!

Posted by: Jeffs9146 Jan 17 2013, 02:02 AM

I would love a couple of those so put me down for two and let me know how much to ship to 94505 (almost local) and I will send you something!

Posted by: Bartlett 914 Jan 17 2013, 08:39 AM

I will also add
Metric and multi standard components

How much was the box of 100 and where did you buy it Bill? I might grab a box & share if with my friends up here.

Posted by: billh1963 Jan 17 2013, 08:55 AM

Look at the links provided in the post. Shipping is the painful part.

Posted by: Dinobx Jan 17 2013, 10:17 AM

Hey Bill,
I'm up in Canada, any chance you might ship four up here to me?
It will probably cost a bit more to ship, but of course, I'll pay the additional amount for shipping.
Thanks.
Dino

Sold out!


Gave around 50 to Scottyb and kept 10 for myself. Sold the remaining 40 in just a few hours. Can't believe how much demand there was. Still waiting for a couple of stragglers to pay; however, this GB is closed.
