Cassette box replacement

[T3rra]

Point out that it's not the one pictured!

The hings are £7.50 when I asked Opc, ment 2 call back never did and I never call them. X2 on eBay

Sunroof hooks are £2.50 x2 on eBay plus shiping.


I couldn't image driving without the cassette box lid. Unless your 10 and 2

Either it has been fitted wrongly, or it doesn't fit? If it's the former, the instructions need to be clearer. If it's the latter then get a refund. [8|]

I replaced my hinged armrest with a new 968 tray. It was about £17 from Porsche if I remember correctly, and fits perfectly fine. The only issue is that the phone does fly out of it on "enthusiastic" cornering.

Hi Paul, you don't have a pic of the 968 one fitted do you please? Or a part number?

EDIT
Not to worry found them:
944 552 155 00 1DB - Tray - £12.44 + V.A.T
944 552 161 00 01C - insert - £14.65 + V.A.T.

less 10% if your OPC is friendly like mine

Totally agree, the arm rest is exactly that. When I had my 944 on long journeys I considered it was essential.

It isnt a 968 part, which causes confusion when thats how its referred to. The cassette box was an option and the tray with a rubber insert was the base spec. My 1987 car had this, being a relatively poverty spec (no height adjustment on the passenger seat).

The 968 name is a completely made up thing.

I prefer to leave mine as standard bacuase I need the storage space for cassettes to use in my radio/cassette player which is original o.e.m. and it still works. Miind you the two keys for the cab roof reduce the number of cassettes it holds, about six, or half a dozen maybe.

I asked for a refund and explained I'd be getting the tray, he has offered me a tray plus a refund so I've gone for that, I'm sending the other back.

That's good, we could do with a pop out cup holder from the dash, theres room between the glove box lock and 12v socket, if someone's feeling contuctive

 

[j4mou]

Presumably you could use one from a mondeo, and build it in? Is there a gap behind it?

 

[spyro_x]

My misses doesn't like my S2, her main gripe is that it doesn't have any cup holders - when I explained that it had two (her left and right hand) the atmosphere thickened quite considerably 'aparently' I'm not as funny as I think I am, then again she is American and their cars seem to have about 9 cup holders as standard (at least all the ones I've rented over there did).

 

[T3rra]

That was a good line. Sort thing I would say, if she started hit the ejected seat. ( seat belt release and emgencey brake )

I removed a dash the other week and I'm sure the glove box sits below it, so there is a void. Rather then cut 2 suit, maybe a new facer panel could be made? Something that we could use an updated clock that don't cost as much as a Rolex

 

[T3rra]

You could fit one each side off the glove box lock. Iv seen some that pop out then turn, so it could be closer if u can't reach

 

[j4mou]

I was thinking one of these, the more I think about it, the more I think it would fit. Might have a play.

I took out my cassette holders and put a bit of that non slip mat in, discreet storage space and arm rest still in place. Don't do what I did though and add the hinge to an order from the states - it was cheap, but it opens the wrong way!

 

[j4mou]

Lol that's funny!

Ive utilised the redundant space in mine in a similar way. Ive also added a second divider to make three compartments. My 2.7l has a LHD hinge and I believe that the lid is handed also.
