TGI_J Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Attempt number 2 at changing pads & discs today after finding out that someone previously had changed over the front fitting kit to support rear(?) pads & sensors. Discovering that last weekend definitely threw me off as my new pads wouldn't fit 🤣 Top that off with the ebay seller sending me the wrong sensors I just left the pads for today. New fitting kit ordered and correct sensors arrived and voila! Finally new pads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyGee Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Thanks @TGI_J I had a look on EuroCarParts but couldn't find any caliper fitting kits. Any chance you have a link or product id? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what way up you have it 😜 I just cleaned mine up and coated with high heat paint.Maybe I'm just mean or saving for hoses..Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGee Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Mine are really badly rusted, beyond worth tidying up. If I could save the cost here I would defo do that and put it towards braided hoses instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 I see different part numbers for front and rear on a 987S for the fasteners. 99635295901 Front ( and I assume rear for non S) 95535296000 Read ( S ) Front kits about £52 , Rear kit £47 inc vat before discount. Are the pins longer on the S ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones already on my car (The long ones I am holding) are what came with mine and were holding in brake pads suited for the rear of the car. So I imagine the rears are different since I had to order the one via ECP to get my new pads to fit. 5 minutes ago, Paul P said: I see different part numbers for front and rear on a 987S for the fasteners. 99635295901 Front ( and I assume rear for non S) 95535296000 Read ( S ) Front kits about £52 , Rear kit £47 inc vat before discount. Are the pins longer on the S ? It also seems to vary per car, so as the first part number seems to only be suitable for NonS 987. I originally ordered "95535296000/1" via Design911 but they didn't have stock, so went via ECP instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 The part number you given is a Cayenne series number but is also listed for the 987 S front as per @TGI_J. 996 352 959 01 is the parts cat listing for the pins and spring plate kit for a 987 2.7 front or rear as per @SpeedyGee and also 987 S rear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 car goes in Wednesday for a new passenger regulator, anything I need to highlight to the Indy regarding the water/weather seal as car lives outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess other than make sure it goes back correctly (resealed) then make sure Indy replaces any door card clips that break. They also form part of the waterproofing in as much as without a clip there is a hole…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @Pinewood Also once done suggest check the window is fitted as it needs to be to prevent wind noise when roof up. Window height and rake are both adjustable. I'd also personally use an original Porsche OE part for this job.

944GS Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Booked in for next week to get my wheels refurbished, black car with 19” lobster claws, just need to decide on colour but leaning towards black for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Washed dollops of white house paint off it! Got builders in, one is going to touch up around new switches for the electric shutters, do I have any of the same white paint left from interior wall painting. I found a near-empty 5L tin in the garage and said he should look in it to check it hasn't dried. No screwdriver handy to pop the lid so he just shook it violently - and dislodged the loose lid and splashed about 8 tablespoons over my orange bonnet! Luckily I have a tap and hose in the garage, so immediately washed it all off, as much as I could see. If there are any traces left once it's dried I'm sure they'll come off with cutting polish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbox Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I drove it like I stole it!-) Had very fun two hours on the empty country roads here, 3rd gear mostly. Mine seems to go 150km/h 3rd@7000rpm, bit fast for the said country roads. I'm quite happy that the car is now serviced, all is good and it's great to drive.

Maybe anthracite just to lift them a.bit and give them some definition. Black can be so flattening on a wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
