How do you know its OEM though? The previous owner might have changed it for a cheap pattern one

Steve Strange (Douglas Valley) is pretty thorough about such things.

The seller is an established breaker for many years so I'm not really too concerned about that. Could always raise a dispute if needed.

As Steve is the most reputable seller possible. 

Steve has forgotten more about Porsches than I will ever know.

Looks OEM to me because mine had those green bits, but the copy part didn't.

Sp looks like the replacement didn't come with the little bolt stopper thing... any ideas what I can fudge in the mean time?

Can you not drill the rivet out of the one you remove and rivet onto the newly acquired part. If no rivets or rivet gun, a small bolt with a nyloc nut?

I got it sorted in a rough and ready kind of way. A screw! 🤪

Here's some pics of the work...

Then disconnected the negative terminal on the battery before disconnecting and removing the airbag.

Once I unbolted the motor and moved it down I noticed where the old one failed.

It was rusty and perished!

Stopper is now an old screw.

Nice bush fix, hope it holds. I thought the rivet held a stop or something. Guess the rivet is the stop. 🤪🤙🏻

So far so good mate. One thing i have just noticed though only from looking at the pics of the 2 regulators side by side is that the replacement has a curve in the right hand black metal upright. The old one looks dead straight... i mean its working fine so not complaining but wondering if they are all like that?
