Looking for door cable (bowden cable) for 1998 Boxster,old style

[zman1858]

Porsche stop making the old style cable and wants me to pay $300.00-$400.00 in parts for the door to accept the new style cable... I don't think so. I cut the new style to fit the door but it didn't work. Does anyone know where I can find the old style...Sun doesn't have any, local dealer doesn't, and LA Dismantler is looking. The drawing is the end that goes into the door handle. Oklahoma Foreign said they would sell me one for,,,ready....$40.00 and LA Dismantler said $30.00. Come on...new was $7.00. I hung up on them. Still looking if anyone can help.

Well, door cable working...no thanks to the people at LA Dismantler and Oklahoma Foreign. It's pretty bad that both placed wanted to charge a very high price for a $7.00 - $10.00 cable. Both placed were saying, well, they don't make it anymore so we want this much. I told both that it's going to be a used cable. They both were very rude and didn't seem to care. I took new style cable, cut off the end to form a "L" ...drimelled the Rounded the square plastic holder with a drimel....locked in place with a small C clip....work like a charm.....Thanks to LA Dismantler and Oklahoma Foreign for helping me save $200-$300 dollars. I won't ever call you guys again.
