Sunset parts web site ? And oil drain plug ?

[britdave]

Does anyone know the "special link" to Sunset parts web site ? I go to their regular site ,where it says "Parts" but it really shows nothing but a contact phone number ? I thought there was an actual web site that shows all the parts and prices ?

The one I get is useless. I want to order a new oil drain plug for my 2002 911/ 996 C2 , either the magnetic ones ,which I understand are really good ? Or a stainless steel one, any recommendations, on plugs, and also the parts site ?

Thanks a lot Brit-Dave.

I think you are thinking of "Suncoast Porsche" rather than "Sunset Porsche".

The magnetic plug is made by LN Engineering, the folks that developed the IMS upgrade and spin on filter adaptor, and it is a worth while addition to any car. The stainless steel drain plug is an OEM item, #900-219-015-00, which Sunset Porsche carries in stock and should be used with caution as it is a lot harder than the sump cover and can easily strip the threads. The stainless plug is actually meant for use to plug an exhaust system port, but just happens to be the correct size to fit the sump. If used, you should put a dab of anti seize on it each time and only torque it to specs.

I don't think that Sunset (which is a great vendor) has a on-line catalog. Here is a link for another on-line catalog that is useful in looking up parts, give both the list and a discounted price. The discounted price is usually about the same as the pricing at both Sunset and Suncoast.

Here is the link to Suncoast in Sarasota Florida. Great folks, I use them all the time...

+1 on the LN drain plug quality unit.

+1 on the LN drain plug. Much harder material(anodized aluminum) than stock, and takes a larger allen wrench (10mm vs 8mm).

+1 LN Plug. Make sure not to :wrench: over torque.
