   Mark your calendars for September 8 - 11, 2016 and join us in nearby Akron, Ohio for the 356 Registry's East Coast Holiday. Organizers led by Roberta Heller - who gave us the sensational 2010 Holiday in Cleveland - are planning an autocross, a concours at the fabulous Glenmoor Country Club, Tech Sessions led by Chuck Stoddard, and some activities unique to Akron (think Goodyear blimp and Soap Box Derby). A very nice host hotel has been chosen with accommodations for a large group, but be sure to register early. More information and registration will be available soon 

    Let's take a look at how your Porsche parts get on their way to you, from the online or phone order process all the way through until they leave our warehouse via the parcel truck.  

    While we've had a mild winter here in Ohio, today happens to be a bit cold and snowy here in Highland Heights, Ohio. Our facility is at 190 Alpha Park Drive and the plows have already come through. We are open for business!  

We Can Save Them All— Project Progress

    We've been getting updates from Trevor Gates, the winner of our We Can Save Them All contest. While the prize will certainly help Trevor get his 356A back on the road, he's still got a long way to go to get there.  

   The standardization of bolt sizes and threads isn't quite as old as you might think. It wasn't until 1947 that standard metric sizing was created by the new ISO (International Standards Organization).  The specs changed somewhat in the 1960s as 8mm bolts changed from having 14mm hex heads to 13mm. These older bolts and nuts with the larger hex are hard—if not impossible—to find.  We've got a stock of a variety of 8mm bolts and nuts that will help you properly restore your 356. They're made in Germany and have a black oxide finish.
