Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any thoughts on where I can source a 915 gearbox. The car is a 1968 Targa 2.0 that is being rebuilt. The original engine and gearbox were stolen and sold to an individual in Portugal. The restorer has sourced a later 2.4 MFI engine but we need a 915 gearbox to go with it. I have looked on Ebay and Race Cars Direct. Any further guidance would be welcome. Thank you.
I’d look at https://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/content.p... It’s a US forum but there are a lot of European members on there…very active parts forum There is also DDK online https://www.ddk-online.com/ I’d also try any of the UK specialists for that age of car…I’d be amazed if one of them didn’t have or didn’t know where a 915 box is. Plenty of European specialists too you could try.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to respond. I will follow up on the suggestions that you have made.
Quick look on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154609201959?var=0&... I guess you'd have to assume it'd require a rebuild. Another thought is whether a G50 gearbox could be fitted? You'd need to ask an expert, but it'd open up many more possibilities for you.
Thank you. I will follow this up with the car restorer.

Russel Lewis would probably know how easily a g50 could fit and maybe the location of a 915, he is hard to track down though sometimes. I guess companies like Douglass valley or Porsch apart would be pricey.
The torque tube assembly has to be altered to fit the larger G50 gearbox. It is quite a lot of work
