There are companies that make the entire wire loom for 356s, 911s and 912s but the cost is rather high unless there is no choice. In your case, each of the wires in the loom is color coded and with s ... |

Diamond made some pistons for the 931 engines and some higher compression pistons for the NA engines. I believe Vaughan had some made as did I. Dan sold some of the turbo version Diamond pistons. |
