I wish I had the knowledge in Porsches and other foreign makes as I have accumulated in regard to American made cars.. |
Exactly!! I remember my dad and I used to get alternators and starters rebuilt at a place where I grew up in Burlington NC. I'm sure some of these places must still exist. I'm going to ask him if that one still does, and look here in Raleigh too. I'd think if you took a good place like that a Porsche starter and said "here is how far is has to fly out to the gear, here is the mounting flange, I don't want the solinoid there, I want it here" and so on, they should be able to build a pair.
