996 996 Cabriolet Side/Mud Flap Lead Screw Nuts - Motor part number 996.624.125.00

[Kevin Bryck]

Cabriolet side/mud flaps are actuated by this lead screw which is attached to the shaft of the drive motor.

If your tops gets out of synch as mine did when the bolt that holds a side arm casting to the hydraulic piston fell out, then it creates a cascading nightmare of fragile part failures.

First that spindly potentiometer arm with the lightening holes to save a hundredth of gram of plastic breaks off, now these. 

 

This tiny molded soft plastic nut runs on what I measure as a M8 x 1.5 pitch lead screw, which is apparently less common than the M8 x 2 pitch lead screw used in 3D printers.

It is ridiculous to replace the entire side flap assembly because this soft plastic lead screw nut gets run to the end and stripped/cracked so it runs too slow and the computer times out.

 

Has anyone sourced this lead screw nut or a replacement M8 x 1.5 pitch lead screw nut with a triangular or round flange that could be cut down square to insert into the carrier that operates the flap?
