If we have some details on the bolster covers can we post them on here? Cost, shipping etc would be great.

I think I got back to everyone who asked with the details of the US based seller. I've let him know there's been forum interest too so perhaps he will post up with details.

Do I just need to email that guy for any information?

Or is there more to hand, like price etc.

Be good to get some photos up in here too.

Does anyone fancy organising a group buy smile

I would say yes, Porsche also do a 5mm longer locking wheel bolt.

Yup. He's just a private individual, making these in his spare time. I googled originally which took me to Rennlist which has more photos.

Be good to get them up in here for everyone to see too.

I don't yet. Looking at the image I've posted :

- to the right is a complete loop of the protector, velcro'd through the gap in the seat that the seatbelt passes thro.
- to the left there are 2 points of attachment
-- the main one is a long leg of material which velcros under the seat pad, which itself then velcros on top so pretty solid
-- the secondary one is a simple elastic through eyelet pretty much as you see, fed through the gaps in the seat rails

My other half reckons she could make these without any problems, given she upholsters chairs and such like as a hobby this is a fairly simple procedure.

I may look into, if I can get the pattern or at least dimensions what it would take to make a batch of these for us in the UK.

This is the version with 2,5 inch. Far enough for a 3.4 liter engine. If you want to upgrade to a 3.8 liter engine later I suggest to go for the 2.75 inch version.

M&M ( Manthey) are 100% handcrafted, compared to Cargraphic which is factorywelded with machines. M&M Gives more power according to Jens in Ehresmann. They also supply the tubing for the Porsche Motorsport division ( not everyone knows this).

200 Cell HJS Cats. Regarding 82 mm plenum and Throttlebody, I forwarded MrDemons thoughts of it not being necessary - and with the new exhaust and manifolds it gives gains for sure. the 991 3.4 has 82 mm plenum btw wink

Also thinking about the 997.2 GT3 shortshift kit, as well as a sports air filter. as the german said, more air is always good!
