Can anyone tell me whether the head of such - originally - would have been black or silver coloured? John Dymond Quote Reply #1 12 Replies

You see cars that have had a refurb with chrome or Silver. I ended up hand painting all of mine black. Took a while masking them all up but look much better as Factory in Black Graham R31 Current 993 Targa - Manual - Ocean Blue 61100 miles and climbing slowly!

I recently became the proud owner of a C2 Targa and absolutely love it! A childhood dream realised 😃 And so the list of things to tidy up starts... The rear O/S wheel rim bolts are corroded, presumably due to a previous refurb that wasn't finished and protected properly. The other wheels are all fine. Note, the bolts on all wheels are silver and not black! Does anyone know if replacement rim bolts are available anywhere? I can't seem to find anything on Google. Besides the cosmetics, I am concerned the corrosion over time may become an issue for the integrity of the wheel. Any help would be appreciated!

They were quick to reply but unfortunately they don't have those bolts. They suggested I remove a bolt to get the measurements so they can see if they have something similar. I'll give that a go, hopefully they do... In the meantime, if anyone else has any other suggestions please let me know! Cheers, Aaron 997.2 C4 GTS Cab 993 C2 Targa Quote Reply #7

I think I have just about sourced a UK-based supplier! More on this shortly. In the meantime I have further associated rimbolt-related questions: > is the shank diameter 8mm (M8 would be the technical reference) or M7? > is the shank fully threaded, or is the area immediately below the head non-threaded (and if so, what is the measurement of this non-threaded area)?

Whoever they are, they could make a small fortune from global Targa drivers! I found this on Rennlist in my quest to find replacements. Drawn by someone who removed the bolts. Let us know how you get on! We hope for the best! Thanks, Aaron Attached Image(s) 997.2 C4 GTS Cab 993 C2 Targa Quote Reply #10

The manufacturing source can make - to special order - rimscrews which will exactly match the original spec.. I'm waiting to hear at what sort of cost/min order/timescales this might require. When all is all a little more 'definite' I shall advise further. Cheers, John John Dymond Quote Reply #11

I've asked for prices of stainless steel and also zinc-coated high tensile steel along with the appropriate flanged nut. John Dymond Quote Reply #13
