    Source of Batteries, Spark Plugs, CV Joiints, for Early 911?

    I need new batteries for my 2.2 911S which has been in storage for some years. In the old days, you had to buy them from the Porsche dealer only, as they are an odd shape (the twin battery cars like this one).

    Is that still the case? What's the best source for batts?

    I am also looking for the correct (Behr I think) platinum spark plugs which are peculiar to the "S". They were hard to find even back in the 90's. Does anyone have a source?

    Lastly -- CV joints or rebuilt drive shafts -- where do you get them?

    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Thanks! So I gather these are now made by Interstate, and type 911 fits the early 911 with dual batts. Great! Back in the day, I used to have to buy them from the Porsche dealer for ridiculous money, because they are an odd shape not used in other cars.

    I'll get on to the Interstate dealer tomorrow. I don't suppose there's a mail order source?

    Platinum plugs are a waste of money. I have a 2.2 S and NGK plugs are the one to use. Sorry do not have the model #. Chris
