Cassette box replacement

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
 
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).
 
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
 
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
 
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!
 
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.
