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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Posted this message on the Member to Member Forum for want ads: Looking for this clock spring in excellent condition. Please send me a PM, or e-mail if you have one you'd like to "move out". Please include price (including shipping to zip 19382). THANKS, and Happy New Year. Gary Knox West Chester, PA

POST 2Original post

You should indicate if it is for a tip or manual as they are different. You can use a tip in a manual, but you can't use a manual in a tip.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Tool Pants, but either will work for the application I have in mind. Cheers, Gary Knox

POST 4Original post

Must be a secret 928 project. I have both but I need them. I'll keep an eye on ebay because I see them once in a while. If they are used the anti-rattle pins are usually broken,, but they work fine.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow - you ARE good!!! That's exactly the project, but it's not secret!! Going to try to install it in my GTS, as I really like that type wheel. Please tell me more about the "anti-rattle pins", their function, and what that means if I put one on my car. THANKS. Gary Knox

POST 6Original post

The 2 pins go into holes in the back of the steering wheel to prevent rattles. The pins are broken on the unit in my Boxster but I do not hear any rattles. When you slide a steering wheel back on the shaft you have to make sure these pins are going inside the holes or they get crushed and break off. Or if you remove the air bag and let it hang from the connector these pins will break. So if these pins are important to you and you buy a used unit make sure they are not broken. But like I said, the unit will work fine with broken pins.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the enlightenment. I now understand, and will be a bit more 'careful' in selecting the candidate clock spring. Happy New Year. Gary Knox
