Porsche and the VW Audi group, sometimes 'Run whatca brung works best; 962C with 928 door lock mechanism . Weissach race engineers choice of this part : Why invest / re-invent a perfect mouse trap ? !
In the 1970's I sourced the T4 valve covers from the VW dealer >> part of our MSDS T4 turbo kits. We added an A/N #12 oil drain to the lower v/cover , included in the kits (full bolt-on). Porsche dealer = same part at 2x cost, love the OE parts sharing .  |

Spot on. I’ve always been baffled when people said the 914 isn’t Porsche because it used VW parts.
Many of those same people looked the other way when it was Audi parts on their 924/944. Same people had no idea about where the Beetle or the 356 came from. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
