    1972 911T Oil door release mechanism Rubber grommet

    My rubber grommet that is part of the external oil door release mechanism has disintegrated. The part number is 999-702-072-50 but it is NLA. Has anyone found a substitute that fits/works?

    Thanks
    Mike D

    Hi Mike,

    I make these from longer lasting material with a lower price than Porsche did.

    I believe that you need to have more than 10 posts before you can send PM's. If you want to post your e-mail I will send you information about purchasing them.

    The standard rule of thumb for molded polyurethane parts is that they last 3-5X longer than rubber. They also have improved resistance to abrasion and petrochemical exposure.
