That looks the business, would you be prepared to make me one? PM me the cost if you'd prefer to keep it private.
In all honesty it would probably work out cheaper to do a group buy from the U.S. It a lot of work for me and If im always doing stuff for other people I'll never get my SC finished .....
The OG plate has a curved depression on it... So not ideal for getting a good seal on it!! If you have a look at lhu's picture, you can see where he's TIG welded his plate with the adaptor holder
Porsche ones aren't THAT expensive. $85 is only £54. Tax and delivery add to it. A group buy might save some off that and shipping will be a lot less per unit
what sort of cover have you got ...(they need a cover to keep the air flow off ) ? the correct porsche one is similar to the actual taco plate ......
There was a bloke on here that's made the perfect thing, including cover. Trouble is he flatly refuses to help out his fellow dubbers. Something to do with wanting to get his own van finished first. I mean to say, selfish or what?
I haven't got a cover on mine but the sensor is almost touching the end of the dipstick inside the engine and well away from airflow. Did Porsche fit a cover? I have a CHT gauge and an oil pressure one too so my bus in well and truly monitored these days. I guess I could make a cover easy enough if it does make a difference to the oil temp readings

I like the look of those. I can't get my sump plug out at the mo and the dipstick one looks unsightly!
