    4 Ring Binders

    I've found these a couple of places but was curious to know if anyone had an opinion on 4 ring binders. I recently picked up all the TSB books from '76-'89. Won't be much help here but I like tech manuals. Make for good bedtime reading.

    Tech Info Binders

    Porsche made various 4-ring binders for their tech bulletins and service information books.
    You can stack about 6 to 10 years of info into each binder.

    I don't know what's currently available.
    The workshop manuals had the same ring arrangement.

    Thanks.
    I mentioned it at a dealer yesterday and while the parts person was aware of the use I didn't get much feedback about availability (if any).

    Yes, thanks. If you search they offer 4" Ring Binders.

    Most places don't stock them and I really want to put "hands on" before committing.
    Found a place that does stock some different widths. Leitz, Bindertek etc. Ultimately coming down to
    what can be found for 1-2" widths. The largest manual is 1.5" inches (38mm). The rest are about around 1" (25mm).

    What you are looking for are A4 4 ring binders. I doubt you will find local unless in Europe.

    I use these...

    4 Ring Binders

    Your tech manuals should have 80 mm hole spacings. I think most European 4-ring binders are similar.

    The old factory BMW manuals also have 4-ring binders with 80 mm ring spacings.
