Cleaned my throttle body last weekend and noticed that my air box was missing the two rubber grommets that it is suppose to rest on.

Suggestion
In fact, when I bought my car, and was cleaning the engine compartment (doesn't everyone clean the engine compartment of their first 911??) I noticed the airbox clunked when I moved it, and thought, "wow, what a ****ty design", then I removed the airbox and saw the plastic prongs sitting in the metal holes, and KNEW there had to be a rubber grommet for them.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Cleaned my throttle body last weekend and noticed that my air box was missing the two rubber grommets that it is suppose to rest on. Now I am looking for the part numbers and found this on auto atlanta
http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=106-00
I think the part is number 11 but just want to make sure. Thanks for all your help as always.
Number 11 is the correct location in the diagram and the part number matches up to Pelican Parts so you should be ok.
But someone somewhere along the line got the images of 11 and 6 mixed up. The grommets my airbox is sitting on look like 6, and the grommet linked to 11 (and what ECS has posted above) mates the airbox to the mounting bolt.
Not big money, but might be a little hassle if you get the wrong one.
Those damn things pop out everytime I remove that box, and I'm specifically looking to make sure that DOESN'T happen. In fact, when I bought my car, and was cleaning the engine compartment (doesn't everyone clean the engine compartment of their first 911??) I noticed the airbox clunked when I moved it, and thought, "wow, what a ****ty design", then I removed the airbox and saw the plastic prongs sitting in the metal holes, and KNEW there had to be a rubber grommet for them. Lo and behold, I found BOTH of them in the engine compartment! One on the far right, near the motor mount, and the other was wedged near behind where the top idler pulley is. Put them back where they belong, and all is well.
They don't look like those blue ones above.
My original ones were black and just dropped into the hole, came out with the airbox when I pulled it. The blue ones are an updated design that fits snugly in the hole so they don't pop out when you remove the airbox.
