Fits:

• Porsche 911 1975-1977 3.0L Turbo (930)
• Porsche 911 1978-1989 3.3L Turbo (930)

Designed for the Porsche 911 930 Turbo 3.3L from 1977-89, the oil tank acts as the external reservoir for the engine's dry-sump lubrication system. A sound oil tank is essential for maintaining a reliable supply of clean engine oil, particularly on a high-performance air-cooled turbocharged engine.

An ideal replacement for an original tank suffering from corrosion, leaks, contamination or previous poor-quality repairs.

What Does the Oil Tank Do?

Unlike a conventional wet-sump engine where most of the oil is stored beneath the crankshaft, the Porsche 930 uses a dry-sump lubrication system with a separate external oil reservoir.

Oil scavenged from the engine is returned to the tank before being supplied back through the lubrication system.

The oil tank performs several important functions:

• Stores the engine's oil supply outside the crankcase
• Provides a consistent supply of oil to the lubrication system
• Helps separate air from returning engine oil
• Helps reduce oil aeration and foaming
• Supports effective oil circulation
• Contributes to engine oil temperature management
• Helps maintain reliable lubrication during acceleration, braking and cornering

For a high-performance turbocharged engine such as the Porsche 930, maintaining the condition of the complete lubrication system is particularly important.

Why Do Oil Tanks Fail?

Many original Porsche 930 oil tanks have now been in service for several decades. Age, heat, road contamination and moisture can eventually cause deterioration.

Common problems include:

• Internal corrosion caused by moisture
• External corrosion and rust
• Corrosion around seams and mounting points
• Oil leaks from weakened areas
• Damage around pipe and hose connections
• Internal sludge and contamination
• Physical damage from road debris
• Previous welding or poor-quality repairs
• General deterioration caused by age

Internal corrosion can be particularly difficult to identify because the outside of the tank may still appear serviceable while deterioration is occurring internally.

When Should the Oil Tank Be Replaced?

Replacement should be considered whenever the existing oil tank can no longer provide a clean, secure and leak-free reservoir for the engine's oil supply.

Typical signs include:

• Visible oil leaks
• Significant external corrosion
• Suspected internal rust
• Corrosion around seams or mounting points
• Damaged oil pipe connections
• Persistent contamination or sludge
• Previous repairs of questionable condition
• Physical damage to the tank
• During a major engine rebuild or vehicle restoration

A heavily corroded or contaminated tank should not be ignored. Debris entering the lubrication circuit can potentially damage expensive engine components, while a leaking tank can result in loss of engine oil.

Why Replace an Ageing Porsche 930 Oil Tank?

The dry-sump lubrication system is fundamental to the reliability of the air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo engine.

Replacing a deteriorated original tank helps restore the integrity of the oil system and provides confidence that the engine's oil is being stored in a clean, secure and leak-free reservoir.

It is particularly worthwhile during an engine rebuild or restoration when the associated oil hoses, oil lines, thermostat, filter connections and seals can be inspected at the same time.

Oil Tanks & Dry-Sump Lubrication Parts

The Porsche 911 930 Turbo relies on its dry-sump lubrication system to provide a dependable supply of engine oil during normal driving and demanding high-performance use.

As these cars age, corrosion and contamination within the original oil tank can become an increasing concern. Replacing a deteriorated reservoir with an OE Match oil tank can help restore the integrity and reliability of this critical lubrication system.

When replacing the oil tank, it is also advisable to inspect the associated oil hoses, hard lines, fittings, oil thermostat, filter connections, breather hoses, seals and mounting hardware for deterioration or leaks.

Restore the dry-sump lubrication system of your classic Porsche with this OE Match Engine Oil Tank for the Porsche 914-6 2.0ltr

Fits:
Porsche 914-6 2.0 11/69-12/73

The oil tank is a fundamental part of the 914-6 dry-sump lubrication system, storing the engine's oil externally rather than relying on a conventional sump beneath the engine. Correct oil storage and circulation are particularly important on the air-cooled flat-six, helping maintain a reliable supply of lubricant during normal road use and more demanding driving.

What Does the Oil Tank Do?

Unlike a conventional wet-sump engine, the Porsche 914-6 uses a dry-sump lubrication system. Oil is stored in a separate reservoir and circulated through the engine as required.

The oil tank performs several important functions:

• Stores the engine's oil supply outside the crankcase
• Provides a reliable supply of oil to the lubrication system
• Helps separate air from returning engine oil
• Helps prevent oil aeration and foaming
• Supports consistent lubrication during acceleration, braking and cornering
• Assists with managing oil temperature
• Provides the reservoir from which oil is recirculated through the engine

Maintaining the integrity of the oil tank is therefore essential to the health and longevity of the engine.

Why Do Oil Tanks Fail?

Original Porsche 914-6 oil tanks are now more than 50 years old, and corrosion is one of the biggest concerns.

Moisture can accumulate inside an ageing tank, causing internal corrosion that may not be immediately visible from the outside. External corrosion can also develop around seams, mounting areas and locations where dirt and moisture become trapped.

Common causes of deterioration include:

• Internal corrosion caused by moisture
• External rust and deterioration
• Age-related deterioration around seams and joints
• Damage from impact or incorrect removal
• Previous welding or poor-quality repairs
• Contamination, sludge and debris inside the tank
• Deterioration around hose connections and fittings

Older reservoirs can eventually become difficult or uneconomical to repair, making replacement the more dependable option during restoration.

When Should the Oil Tank Be Replaced?

Replacement should be considered whenever the existing tank can no longer provide a clean, secure and leak-free oil reservoir.

Typical signs include:

• Visible oil leaks from the tank
• Heavy external corrosion
• Suspected internal rust
• Corrosion around seams or mounting points
• Damaged or deteriorated connections
• Contamination or debris that cannot be reliably removed
• Previous repairs or patches of questionable condition
• Physical damage to the tank
• During a comprehensive engine or vehicle restoration

A heavily corroded tank should not be ignored. Rust and contamination entering the lubrication circuit can potentially circulate through the engine, while a leaking tank can reduce the available oil supply.

Why Replace an Ageing 914-6 Oil Tank?

For an original or restored Porsche 914-6, replacing a questionable oil tank is preventative maintenance for one of the engine's most important systems.

A sound replacement tank helps restore the integrity of the dry-sump lubrication system and provides peace of mind that clean engine oil is being stored in a secure reservoir rather than an ageing, internally corroded original tank.

It is particularly worth considering during an engine rebuild or full restoration, when the oil lines, filler system, filter console and associated components can be inspected at the same time.

Oil Tanks & Dry-Sump Lubrication Components

The Porsche 914-6 dry-sump lubrication system depends on a sound oil tank, hoses, fittings, filler components and filter connections to maintain reliable oil circulation.

After more than five decades, corrosion, contamination and previous repairs can make original oil reservoirs increasingly difficult to restore with confidence. Replacing a deteriorated tank with an OE Match 90110700546 oil reservoir is an effective way to restore this critical part of the lubrication system during a Porsche 914-6 restoration or engine rebuild.

For the best results, associated oil hoses, seals, filler neck components, mounting hardware and oil filter connections should also be inspected when replacing the tank.

Installed as part of the air intake manifold system, the heater element provides controlled heat when required by the vehicle's engine-management strategy. This is particularly important during cold operating conditions, helping the intake system reach suitable operating conditions and supporting consistent engine performance and emissions control.

Manufactured as an OE-style replacement, it is suitable for replacing an original heater element that has developed an electrical fault, internal failure or physical damage.

What This Product Does:
The heater element forms part of the engine's electronically controlled intake system.

Its primary function is to generate heat within the intake manifold system when commanded by the vehicle's engine management.

Depending on operating conditions and engine-management strategy, this can help:

• Support correct cold-engine operation
• Improve intake-system operation at low temperatures
• Assist cold-start performance
• Promote more stable combustion during warm-up
• Support emissions-control strategies
• Help the engine reach suitable operating conditions efficiently

The heater is electrically operated and is controlled as part of the vehicle's wider engine-management system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Because this is an electrically controlled component, failure may not always produce an obvious mechanical noise.

Possible symptoms include:

• Check-engine warning light
• Stored engine-management fault codes
• Intake-heater circuit fault codes
• Poorer cold-start performance
• Rough running immediately after starting
• Unstable idle when coldHesitation during warm-up
  
• Increased emissions during cold operation
• Longer warm-up behaviour
• Reduced effectiveness of the intake heating system
• Electrical circuit faultsIntermittent engine-management warnings

Symptoms may be more noticeable in colder ambient temperatures.

Why Replacement Matters:
A correctly functioning intake manifold heater helps the engine-management system maintain its intended cold-start and warm-up strategy.

Replacing a failed unit can help:

• Restore correct intake heating
• Improve cold-operation consistency
• Resolve heater-circuit fault codes when the heater is confirmed faulty
• Support stable engine operation during warm-up
• Maintain correct emissions-system operation
• Prevent recurring engine-management warnings
• Restore the intake system to its intended operating condition

Ignoring a confirmed heater failure can leave the engine-management system unable to control this part of the intake system correctly.

Distributor Mounting Clamp for 123Ignition Distributor 

Securely install a 123Ignition distributor into a Porsche 356 or 912 3-piece engine case with this upgraded OE Match Aluminium Distributor Mounting Clamp.

Fits:

• Porsche 912 SWB 1965-1968 (F)
• Porsche 356 1950-55
• Porsche 356A 1955-59
• Porsche 356B 1959-63
• Porsche 356C 1963-65

Specifically designed for use with a 123Ignition distributor, this mounting clamp replaces the original thin 2mm distributor clamp and separate spacer ring arrangement. Its wider 9mm clamping surface provides improved support and more even pressure distribution around the distributor.

The design also helps ensure that the distributor sits at the correct height and rests properly against the engine housing, preventing it from being installed too deeply and incorrectly loading against the distributor drive shaft.

What Does the Distributor Mounting Clamp Do?

The distributor mounting clamp secures the distributor in its correct position within the engine case.

Once the ignition timing has been set, the clamp holds the distributor securely so it cannot rotate or move during engine operation.

When installing a 123Ignition distributor into a classic Porsche 356 or 912 engine, correct positioning is particularly important. The distributor needs to sit at the correct depth within the housing while engaging correctly with the distributor drive.

This upgraded clamp helps:

• Secure the 123Ignition distributor correctly
• Maintain the correct distributor installation height
• Distribute clamping pressure more evenly
• Prevent unwanted distributor movement
• Support accurate ignition timing
• Prevent the distributor from being mounted too deeply
• Provide a more secure mounting arrangement than the original thin clamp

Why Is This Clamp Recommended for 123Ignition Distributors?

The original Porsche distributor clamp has a clamping surface of only approximately 2mm.

When used with a 123Ignition distributor, this narrow clamping surface can create installation problems. In particular, the original clamp can potentially move into the distributor groove rather than providing the intended support.

This upgraded aluminium version increases the clamping surface to 9mm.

The wider contact area provides better pressure distribution and helps ensure that the distributor rests correctly against the engine housing rather than sitting too low and standing on the drive shaft.

9mm Clamping Surface

One of the main improvements is the substantially wider clamping area.
Original-style clamp: approximately 2mm
Upgraded mounting clamp: 9mm

The increased width provides a more stable contact surface and prevents the clamp from slipping into the distributor groove.

This creates a more positive and secure installation for the 123Ignition distributor.

Correct Distributor Installation Height

A distributor should not be supported by the drive shaft itself.

If a 123Ignition distributor is fitted too deeply into the engine case, it can stand on the distributor drive shaft rather than correctly resting against the engine housing.

This mounting clamp is designed to help establish the correct position, ensuring the distributor is properly supported by the housing while maintaining correct engagement with the drive mechanism.

Alternative to a Spacer Ring

When installing a 123Ignition distributor into a Porsche 356 or 912 3-piece engine case, the use of either a suitable spacer ring or this dedicated mounting clamp is recommended.

This upgraded clamp provides an integrated solution, replacing the original thin clamp and spacer ring arrangement with a single purpose-designed aluminium component.

Porsche 356 / 912 123Ignition Distributor Mounts & Electronic Ignition Upgrades

Upgrading a Porsche 356 or 912 to a 123Ignition electronic distributor is a popular way of introducing modern ignition control while retaining the basic distributor-based layout of the original engine.

Correct installation is essential. The distributor must engage correctly with the drive while sitting at the intended height against the engine housing.

The original thin distributor clamp was designed around the original distributor arrangement and is not necessarily the ideal solution when installing a modern 123Ignition unit.

This purpose-designed aluminium mounting clamp provides a 9mm clamping surface, improving support and pressure distribution while helping maintain the correct distributor position.

It is therefore a worthwhile addition when installing a 123Ignition distributor into a Porsche 356 or 912 3-piece engine case.

The clamping plate forms part of the indicator switch mounting arrangement, allowing the switch assembly to be securely positioned around the steering column. It is an important small component when rebuilding the steering column, replacing an indicator switch or restoring the dashboard and steering controls of a Porsche 356A.

What Does the Indicator Switch Clamping Plate Do?

The clamping plate provides the secure mounting point required to hold the indicator switch assembly in its correct position on the steering column.

When correctly installed, it helps prevent the switch assembly from rotating, moving or becoming loose during operation.

Its main functions include:

• Securing the indicator switch to the steering column
• Maintaining the correct switch position
• Preventing unwanted movement during operation
• Providing a firm mounting point for the indicator switch assembly
• Supporting smooth and consistent indicator switch operation
• Helping restore the original steering column arrangement

Indicator Switch, Steering Column & Electrical Parts

The steering column controls are an important part of both the function and appearance of a classic Porsche 356A interior. Small components such as clamps, mounting plates, switches and associated hardware ensure that the controls remain securely positioned and operate as intended.

During a Porsche 356A restoration, these smaller components can easily be overlooked. However, worn, damaged or missing indicator switch mounting hardware can prevent the switch assembly from fitting securely to the steering column.

Using the correct clamping plate for a 40mm steering column helps restore the original mounting arrangement while providing a secure foundation for the indicator switch.

When rebuilding the assembly, it is also worthwhile inspecting the indicator switch, wiring, steering column components and associated mounting hardware for wear or previous modifications.

Wheel Spacers – 5x205mm Bolt Circle and 160mm Hub Opening
Sold as a pair

Improve wheel clearance, offset or stance while maintaining a discreet, original-style appearance with these OE Match Wheel Spacers for vehicles using the classic 5x205mm bolt pattern.

Fits:

• Porsche 356 1950-55
• Porsche 356A 1955-59
• Porsche 356B 1959-63

The design is particularly suited to original-style wheels. Unlike many conventional wheel spacers that leave a noticeable ring visible behind the rim, these spacers are designed to remain largely hidden once the wheel is installed.

An internal chamfer allows the spacer to sit correctly against the brake drum, providing a clean and precise fit.

What Do Wheel Spacers Do?

Wheel spacers fit between the wheel and the brake drum or hub, moving the wheel further outwards by the thickness of the spacer.

Depending on the application and thickness selected, fitting wheel spacers can:

• Increase wheel-to-suspension clearance
• Adjust the effective wheel offset
• Provide clearance for different wheel and tyre combinations
• Increase vehicle track width
• Position the wheel further towards the edge of the wheel arch
• Create a wider and more purposeful stance

Selecting the correct spacer thickness is important to ensure adequate clearance between the wheel, tyre, suspension and bodywork.

Designed for Original-Style 5x205 Wheels

These spacers have been specifically designed to complement original-style wheels using the traditional 5x205 bolt pattern.

The CNC-machined profile keeps the spacer largely hidden behind the wheel, avoiding the prominent visible ring that can occur with some conventional spacer designs.

This makes them particularly suitable for classic vehicles where improved wheel positioning is required without detracting from the original appearance.

They can also be used with other compatible wheels featuring a 5x205mm bolt pattern, subject to checking the dimensions and clearances of the individual wheel.

Precision Fit Against the Brake Drum

A carefully machined chamfer on the inside of the spacer allows it to locate correctly against the brake drum.

Correct seating is essential when installing wheel spacers. The spacer must sit flat against the mounting surface without interference before the wheel is installed.

Available Spacer Thicknesses

These 5x205 wheel spacers are available in:

• 5mm
• 10mm
• 15mm
• 20mm
• 25mm
• 30mm

The range of thicknesses allows the wheel position to be adjusted according to the individual vehicle, wheel specification and required clearance.

Longer Wheel Bolts May Be Required

Increasing the distance between the wheel and mounting surface reduces the amount of the original wheel bolt that engages with the hub or brake drum.

Longer wheel bolts may therefore be required when fitting these spacers.

As a general rule, the additional wheel bolt length should correspond to the thickness of the spacer being installed. For example, a 15mm spacer will normally require a wheel bolt approximately 15mm longer than the original.

The correct bolt type, length and thread engagement must always be confirmed for the individual vehicle and wheel combination before use.

5x205 Wheel Spacers for Classic Porsche & Wide 5 Wheels

The 5x205 wheel pattern is widely associated with early classic vehicle applications and requires appropriately designed components when altering wheel position or offset.

Wheel spacers provide a straightforward way of moving the wheel outwards without changing the wheel itself. They can be useful when additional inner clearance is required or when owners want to improve the position of the wheel within the bodywork.

For classic vehicles using original-style rims, appearance is also important. These CNC-machined 5x205 wheel spacers are designed to remain discreetly positioned behind the wheel, helping retain a traditional appearance while providing the required increase in track width or clearance.

With thicknesses ranging from 5mm to 30mm, the appropriate spacer can be selected according to the required wheel position and individual vehicle setup.
