How about this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264226447883

$20, and 2 available!  (Shipping is expensive though).

Or try my friends at www.wrightune.co.uk

That's not a cruise control stalk though

Sent my Cayman in to the Indy I have used for a while to get the rusty manifold/cat bolts swapped out.

 

They found a leaky and corroded brake pipe on the rear caliper. Refused to make a new pipe as "It was a Porsche" FFS. I said all Kunifer pipes are the same, comes off a roll, but they insisted that they wouldn't be suitable for wheelarch fitment, only underbody! I can understand their aversion to making pipes for customers (sort of) buyt I really hate being bullshi++ed to.

Turns out they had made one for a customer that failed after being hit by road debris and nearly caused a crash and so will not make pipes any more. Very surprised at this attitude from them as they personally race various cars and you would think know about these things!.

Anyway, frustrating as that is, I can't get a made up brake pipe until tuesday. Anyone any idea where i can get one quicker than Porsche Silverstone on Tuesday or design 911 poss weds? I'm in the Milton Keynes area. I could possibly buy an off the shelf straight length and bend it, but unsure of how long it needs to be and which flared ends I'd need.

Annoying, as in the past I have made up lots of my own pipes, but don't have access to the required tools since I moved to MK.

Cars stuck in the workshop and I'm going on hols to France on weds. Was hoping to drive in the Cayman.

Kunifer is very easy to bend with your hands, or around a roll for a nice radius.  I've done the brake lines on my previous Westfield and that hasn't caused it to explode yet

If you need a flaring tool, you're welcome to pick mine up from Northampton.

Is it normal for the roof to try to open when the latch is on?  I recently had to fetch my son's 987 from the garage and I pressed the button (as it was lovely) whilst forgetting the latch and nothing happened, to the point where I thought the button was broken...  I then remembered the latch and undid it, and then the button opened the roof.  I thought there would be a microswitch protecting that exact scenario?

I suspect this is going to be a very long process of firstly claiming on your own insurance and then using legal action to recover the costs.  Small claims court may be suitable for this?

Mine's parked at the airport for a couple of weeks while I'm working in Belfast. I'll know I'm home as soon as I'm sitting in the driver's seat. It puts a smile on my face as soon as I catch sight of it.

Hope your battery is up for it too, right @TGI_J ?    If it weren't for a friendly bus driver intend on helping out he'd still be stuck at Gatwick...

Check for a break on the microswitch solder connection.  I've had to repair one button on @TGI_J's keyfob as it was no longer making good contact.  It's fiddly, but well within the realms of a hobby soldering iron...

My son had a 2000 986 S and now has a 2005 987 S and the interior is more generous in the 987.  The advantage the 986 had was that you could do the "GT3 delete" which creates more space for your left leg.

My son is still waiting for @Nick Giles to send the written report.  Several messages left, all ignored.  Yes, the inspection enabled us to make an informed purchase, but if your service includes a written report, the written report should follow.  It's not like it was a cheap service.

Either that, or a pedal stop for the brake pedal...

Is the position of the brake switch adjustable at all?  Sounds to me that it needs to be a little further away from the pedal so you don't squash the top on full brakes.

Nick did an inspection for me a few weeks ago on a Cayman. It was very useful, but I never got the promised written report.

Ooh, that reminds me, we're also still waiting for his written report.

If it's the one that was bought and quickly sold in the thread "just a dad doing dad things" then you might want to be prepared!

It isn't

Your renewals "may" be cheaper now, so there may be less incentive to shop around, but you may still be cheaper by shopping around for other companies.
