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

About a year ago I copied this picture from a Rennlist forum. I've been able to obtain all of the emergency spare kit, wheel, jack etc but I can't find a part number for the expanded polystyrene packing that the wheel is shown sitting on. My OPC is unable to locate it can anyone here help? (Also posted on 997 forum & RenTech)

POST 2Original post

I've hunted through the PET, and I can't find it (yet). I can find the foam piece that goes inside the spare, but not the one you show. Is it just a loose piece, and where is it normally located? In the front luggage compartment? I did find a foam piece there on the parts list, but it doesn't look quite like the part in the photo.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, thanks for taking the time to look for this. I only have this picture so I can only guess that its a loose piece of polystyrene packing that is designed to support the wheel at the correct height. I've tried putting the wheel directly onto the rear seat but it locks against the sides before making contact with the seat leaving a gap of about 75 to 150mm. When not in use on the rear seat I think it will fit beneath a wheel stowed in the luggage compartment. Until I can track this item down I'll probably use odd pieces of soft luggage e.g. sleeping bag, to support the wheel. BTW the wheel cover shown in the photograph has seat belt retaining straps and this makes it much more suitable for rear stowage than the one I have been supplied with. I think this must be the kit that is supplied in those countries that have a legal requirement to carry a spare.

POST 4Original post

I have seen no such thing in either of my 996s. This is not a Porsche item I don't think, at least not for a 996.

POST 5Original post

I remember that picture on rennlist. That is not a Porsche part.

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