Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

22 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does any one have an RMS insert tool for sale or a link to those plastic type ones? I did see in some old posts of a guy who made some nice ones, but looks like they sold out quickly. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Where are you located. I’d loan one out locally in the Houston area.

Thanks, unfortunately i do not know anyone with a good 3D printer locally to me who could make this.

POST 6Original post

I have this one that I bought last year when I was rebuilding my engine. I paid $131.69 with tax. How about $75 and I will cover the shipping. Or you could just order a new one. It work fine. Sorry I forgot to add the link. Here it is.

My Jedi mind trick failed. I think I'll just buy one at full price. I'll then have 2 of the plastic ones I can sell.

POST 19Original post

Years ago I searched for RMS tools online. I finally bought 2 from Rennlist members.(1 3D printed and 1 milled Delrin) @Chris(MA) made the least expensive 3D printed one. There was a site called cheetahonline.com that I ordered from and never received a response. I'm not sure if my payment went through or not, it's been way too long ago. I'd long forgotten about them since I never heard anything from them. Today, several years later, I received an e-mail from plasmatio.com stating they have taken over cheetahonline.com and found that I had ordered one and it had never been processed. Of course now I have one made out of aluminum(eBay prices are cheaper than Amazon, just make sure to buy one already in the US) and the Delrin one I bought years ago, so I don't need another one from Plasmatio. (I recently gave away my 3D printed one in the Pay It Forward thread) I just took a look at Plasmatio's website and they have some neat stuff. I thought I'd pass along their site. I have not ordered from them, so this is not an endorsement. https://plasmatio.com/collections/au...or-porsche-m96

POST 21Original post

Hi All, Im preparing to replace clutch on my 2006 997 and figured I would replace RMS as well. Found this website https://plasmatio.com/cart that makes a tool for the install. Says it�s 13mm depth and seems to take the guess work out of making one out of PVC. Only $45. Has anyone used this? I live in Belmont MA in case someone wants to rent me the tool . Thanks

POST 22Original post

No, but I have a cad program to print a tool for a turbo. I am not sure they are the same depth. The turbo is 4mm.
