Yes, the clock spring's no good, (although I ran across a Forum thread from a guy who created and attached new tabs somehow.) Have to be careful on the r&r of my existing unit.

I'll also probably re-use my current matte black stalk tips and get the ones for the OBC and Cruise to match.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quality Porsche Parts on eBay is one of my favorite sellers. Great listings and prices. They just listed a bunch of parts from a 2001 Boxster S with 18,000 miles on it. The below 4-Stalk is listed for $100 or Best Offer. The last ones were sold for $80. I am guessing if you offer $80 you will get it. 01 Boxster s rwd Porsche 986 Turn Signal Switches Selector Clockspring 18 141 | eBay

POST 2Original post

A super deal, especially with the clock spring

POST 3Original post

Someone got it. Good thing is it has the rubber grommets. The clock spring has broken tabs, toss that in the trash.

I jumped on it. Thanks to Chuck W. for the heads up. Yes, the clock spring's no good, (although I ran across a Forum thread from a guy who created and attached new tabs somehow.) Have to be careful on the r&r of my existing unit. I'll also probably re-use my current matte black stalk tips and get the ones for the OBC and Cruise to match. I like the matte finish over the glossy. Still, a good deal I think. I just hit the "buy it now" button and gave 'em the 100 bucks instead of risking an offer. Excellent Forum. Lots of great info. Thanks again, Chuck et al.

A lot of times you can call the business and if you deal direct they give you a better deal

Cool. I was hoping a forum member got it. Good luck with the install.

Those are the same folks I bought mine from, good guys

They are. I've bought leather door panels, a 996 white (aluminum) instrument cluster, a leather (stitched) 996 cluster surround and a rear shelf Bose speaker system from them. Great prices, accurate descriptions and fast shipping.

POST 9Original post

I was going to get it but shipping to Australia killed it for me.

POST 10Original post

Well if you get one and need a 4 stalk I will ship to Australia

POST 11Original post

Quotes source post: 448669

Yep, good seller and they pack the item(s) well too. I've been watching them for a 996 white gauge cluster, need one for a Tiptronic trans though.

POST 12Original post

Cool, this item was $58 USD, over $70 AUD in postage. I really only want the OBC stalk anyway so I'll keep an eye out.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
