I think the real shame is that the manufacturers do not try to keep these old dies. I'm sure there is a bunch of tooling that is worn out and would not produce parts, but I can't help but think that there is a small aftermarket that could be maintained by recycling these no longer desired dies. Thanks for taking the effort (and the sizeable expense) to produce these parts.
Porsche used to be proud of the fact that they would provide parts for their products, but those days are long gone. |

dead on with your post George. We have found Porsche to be discontinuing now at a rapid rate just in the last four years. Those times when they cared about their heritage and keeping their cars on the road is long gone. Too bad. That was one of the special things that kept Porsche a special car company and its buyers very loyal..
